A catch up once again..Can Am rides..Yerington 300 races..

Good Saturday morning! Again the time flies and it's the weekend already! I know we took one day and ran to Walmart for a few things and we were home by lunch time. 
A beautiful sunset..enhanced by smoke from the Slink fire...


The temps are running near 100 everyday so it's no fun being outside until the evenings when it cools down nicely. The mornings are nice and cool too.  

Ken did get my "pantry" done and I like it. Holds more than you would think in the dresser drawers.  I need to make a curtain for it, but it doesn't look bad the way it is. 

Thursday we had a 1015 appointment at Carson Toyota for its 10000 mile servicing.  Ken drove the Tundra and I took my car. Ken dropped off 3 rims at Discount Tire first as he ordered some tires for one of the little trailers we have. I picked him up at the Toyota dealer  and we headed over to Reno and Total Wine.  We haven't been there since May, but since we were in the area I did an online order the night before.  

We parked the car and did what the instructions tell you to do and a little later the cutest little asian girl comes out pushing a cart that's bigger than she is. 😊 Loads us up with wine and beer (some for Karen too).  

We headed over to Michael's Power Sports where we bought the CanAm. Ken wanted to get some side mirrors and a spare tire for it.  Got the mirrors and the rim, but the tire had to be ordered.   Should be in later this week. Yeah, nothing's cheap but what the heck?! Now we just need a top on it and we'll be set. 
Plastic still on the mirror, not cracked..haha.


We were coming up on 1300 and hadn't heard from either place that the tires and the truck were done so he called Discount Tire and they told him our tires were next so another 45 minutes or so. We headed over to Carson Toyota and as he walked in at 1315 he saw they were just pulling the truck into the bay! Not a happy camper, my hubby! Why make an appointment and 3 hours later they're just getting to it!  Glad we weren't waiting for it! 

He came back out and said we'll pick it up in the am.  We headed to Betsy's Big Kitchen and had ourselves a linner and then headed home. A nice evening spent outside. 

Friday morning we were up early and out the door. Decided to have breakfast at Betsy's.  Our waitress Dawn is such a sweetie. After a great breakfast I dropped Ken off at the Toyota dealer and headed home. A quick trip (as quick as 70 miles one way can be) 

It hit 103 degrees so I spent most of my day indoors.  Ken got the mirrors on and said he was glad he went with the Can AM brand even though they were pricey. Whatever makes him happy! 

Later in the evening we headed next door for a bit. Karen's kids are here for the weekend so it was nice to see them! A later night than planned but at least it had cooled down some. 

This weekend is the Yerington 300.  A desert race that looks like it'll be on the BLM near our house. We're going to take a ride and see if we can find some of the track just for fun. 

We took a ride and found some of the track..LOL.  We went to town about 1300 as they were having the drivers and their rigs line up in town. Very cool! Well the temp was nearing 100 but still nice to look at the rigs up close.  Took some pictures and came home.

He's looking for Aliens..the cab over camper guy..

We had a late lunch and then decided to take a ride to a spot Ken thinks we can watch the race and we can. We may just get up early and head out there! 

I stole some of these from FB and now can print some out for the green bedroom.  I love the pictures of the guys with their girls! 💙

Allissa and Jacob! 





Have a great evening!

  1. LOVE the pictures of the kids. I don't know about RACING those trails, but I bet it would be fun to follow them. I'm with you on the appointment thing. Why make one and then be three hours late??
