Yerington 250, Mostly home, Eric and family in San Diego

Nephew Jesse (left) met Grandson Jacob in Brussels for a few days. He sent this 
picture and a few others to me💙

Another week gone! We did make the trip to Reno for mammogram time. Total Wine stop too of course, since we were there. Walmart and then linner. By the time we were done, so was the day and we headed home. 

The rest of the week we were home, other than a trip to town for whatever. Just nothing too exciting to write about, which is a good thing. 

Friday we headed to town to take a look at some of the trucks and utvs that were in town for the Yerington 250. We were kind of early so there were only a few, but that's ok. We've seen them before. 

Had a nice fire in the outdoor kitchen and enjoyed the evening. 

Saturday morning after a light breakfast we climbed in the CanAm and headed up the BLM to a spot we've been several times and got seated to watch the Yerington 250.  

After a bit Ken pulled out the champagne and a red beer for him and we enjoyed our adult beverages watching the race. After awhile our friends Joel and Randi along with some others found us there. We spent a good couple of hours enjoying. 

It was nice to get the Can Am out, even if for a short ride
Better weather's coming so hopefully in the next few weeks
a trip out to Sand Mountain, NV! 😀

You could see the dust from the vehicles on our way out.

When we left, we stopped by home and got the truck and headed to Joel and Randi's property about three miles from our house. Visited for a bit with everyone and then came home. Honestly, I've got to learn to take food with me as I had way too good of time. Oh well, it was fun. Looking in the mirror, both Ken and I look like raccoons. The sun was strong. I bought sun screen today! LOL. 

We got home and Ken headed next door, but I went to bed LOL. 

Sunday we got up and enjoyed the morning. We headed out to the kitchen as Ken was going to barbecue Papa Burgers again. I had cut up some potatoes to make fries on the grill. Champagne Sunday of course. We had our lunch out there about 1300. Enjoyed the weather and I actually had shorts on. No signs of Brutus (the lizard) yet. Hoping these sonic plug in things keep him away, but we'll see. 

Later in the afternoon we headed to John and Karen's for a bit. 

This morning we got up and going as we were heading for Carson City. Ken's phone has been messing up, won't let him add apps etc. Luckily the young man that greeted us figured it out and all is good in Ken's phone world again. 

Then a trip to Walmart of course. A stop at Betsy's for linner and home nearing 1530. Windy and a lot cooler here today. Amazing how the temps vary. By the weekend it should be alot nicer. 

Looks like we'll be home the rest of the week. 😊

Eric and Christina at Mission Beach, San Diego. Eric, Chris and
Mason made a trip to visit Seth and Holly for a long Easter 
weekend. Looks like they had a great time 💗

While there they all visited this Memorial..very moving I'm sure.

Well, it's Happy Hour one more time! 🍺🍷 We'll be inside because of the wind and cold today. Have a great evening! 

 

Aaron goes home, saw Jacob for a few minutes..Can AM, grocery shopping, headed to CA this morning

Wednesday morning we all left here about 0700.  Ken had an appointment for the Tundra to get the last 2 steps put on and I was taking Aaron home later.  Aaron and I were in the Patriot where we picked up Ken from Custom Trucks in Carson City.  

From there we headed to Betsy's Big Kitchen in another part of the city.  We all filled our tummies and then headed back to Custom Trucks as they were just finishing up.  Ken headed to Gardnerville to pick up his eye drops from Raleys and Aaron and I headed to Antelope, Ca.  

Nice but smoky drive down I80.  The back up on roadwork wasn't too bad so we got there around 1330.  Jacob and Allissa weren't there but knowing young people didn't really expect them to be :) 

I came out from the bathroom to say good bye to Aaron, when who steps out from around the corner and says, "Hi Grandma!"...Jacob!  Well, a few tears were shed as I hugged him and didn't want to let him go! 💙💙  We enjoyed about 15 minutes of chit chat before saying good bye.  We'll see him Friday evening. 

About two miles from their house, a light went on in the car saying low tire. Uh oh.  I pulled over and sure didn't see a low tire, but after driving a bit I changed my mind and started the drive on I 80 instead of Highway 50.  I figured if I had a problem 80 had more exits and pull offs than 50.  I called Ken to tell him, so if he needed to come he would know.  

I pulled over several times on the way home and didn't notice anything so I arrived home about 1800 or so.  We enjoyed Happy Hour and then dinner.  We called it a night pretty early. Thursday morning Ken found a rivet in my driver's side rear tire so that'll have to be changed out.  

Thursday morning we headed for Reno. The Can AM was ready for pick up! Ken dropped me at Winco which I haven't been since all this virus crap started.  No line outside so  I can shop.  I wouldn't have waited if there was one. Stocked up on everything to the tune of $236.00.  Should last awhile. Much more for the money!

Ken picked up the Can AM while I shopped and let me know when he was in the parking lot.  He came inside and bagged the groceries while I put them on the belt. 

The Can AM was smoking pretty badly, they had let it run after replacing a spark plug and oil but it was just idling so a run in the desert hopefully would make a difference. After we got home and put away all the groceries Ken unloaded it and boy was it smoking!! Ken took off for the BLM and by the time he came home it was perfect once again!  YAY!  We weren't sure what it would cost, but $269.00 out the door not too bad. Would be a lot worse if the smoking hadn't stopped! 

We enjoyed our evening out side and Stacey from next door came over for a bit to visit.  Dinner and a relaxing evening. 

I made a broccoli bacon salad to take to Lori and Russells Friday. They are hosting a Welcome Home Party before Jacob heads to Italy at the end of next week.  We got a room in Rocklin for Friday night and will head home Saturday.  

The Mansion is ready to be picked up Monday morning at 0900.  Now we are trying to decide where we want to go! I'm leaning toward Bear Lake State Park, Utah/Idaho border.  We were headed there earlier in the summer, but temps were cool and we'd like to do some kayaking.  

So here we are Friday morning and thought I'd get a blog posted as I'm sure the next one will have pictures.  Because of all the smoke this morning, internet and posting pictures just isn't cooperating. We are really socked in from the fires in CA!  Pictures will have to wait.  

Best get a move on as the morning is flying!  Have a great one!
