Yerington 300 ..picture overload! Adam is here until Thursday!

Another beautiful sunset, courtesy of smoke :( 


Our morning ride to our watch spot for the race


Looking down on the race track 
















Mimosa Sunday..something we don't normally do 

Lots of dust!





There were 2 VW's one was for sale for 25,000..cool racing bug..but...that price!





We had an AWESOME spot to view the races!






After a couple of hours we came home to wait for the next group of racers.  We headed back a little before 1300.  Hot, humid and smoky..The bigger class ran in the afternoon.















Love how fast they go!!


We had company on the hill, Donny and Bryan..nice guys! They were racers too at one time. 



We headed home not long after this picture.  Eventually we headed next door as Karen was barbecuing.  A really nice evening as it cooled off nicely.  About 2200 we could have started a fire ..John was ready, but it was time for us to head home.

Monday morning and most of the day was just an easy going day and before you know it over again! Funny how fast most days go. Ken went to the liquor store and gas station so he dropped me at Raley's so I could stock up on a few things. Our grandson, Adam is coming Tuesday and going home on Thursday 😁💙

A nice, hot and smoky evening so we didn't even venture outside. Still a nice evening. Bryan called so I had a nice conversation with him. 💗

Tuesday morning we woke up to smoky skies once again. I swear all of CA is on fire and we're getting a lot smoke from there. 

Adam arrived about 1330 and I had his sandwich ready for him :) We visited awhile and then he made a few calls.  Ken and I went out to the front porch and surprisingly it's cool out there.  First time in I don't know how long, we're looking for sunshine and warmth. Don't think it hit over 70 today. Supposed to be 38 tonight, so Ken got some firewood on the porch because there may be a fire in the morning :) ..

Ken and Adam have taken a little ride on the Can AM so I was hoping to get this finished before he starts the bar b q. Papa Burgers tonight! YUM! 

Have a good evening.

  2. Even from a distance you see the dust trails of the racers. I can tell you had fun at the races! :)
    funny how your daytime highs are more than ours, yet your evenings cooler. Last nights temps were 54F and yesterdays high was 54F. That's rare that they are both the same.

  4. How fun was THAT!!!! I love watching those guys race. I'm surprised you are having so much smoke. The fires seem to be low in the valley. It will be hanging out there forever until the first good rain. Have a good visit with Adam!

  5. Watching the races from a distance would be fun. You had the right idea. Too bad you are getting so much smoke. Our temperatures dropped yesterday morning. It was still in the 70's or low 80's yesterday but it has only reached 60 at 11:20 today. I'm not complaining about it either! Lol! Enjoy your weekend with Adam. I know how much those grandkids mean to us grandparents. They grow up so fast, then leading their own lives. You feel blessed when they choose to spend time with you.

  6. It was great to be able to be so close to the races, hoping they come back next year! Nice weather you're having! Yep grandkids are so special and love that he will drive over when he has time. The other two would too once they got their drivers license, but now they're in the military so don't know when we'll see them. We'll take what we can get for sure!!
