'AWWW NUTS'!! WE ENDED UP AT A TIRE GARAGE THIS MORNING

WESTBOUND I-10 TRAFFIC HEADING FOR BLYTH CALIFORNIA

Stepping out with Pheebs in the pre-dawn morning I saw a number of stars overhead and knew skies were clearing.  We were west of Quartzsite Arizona overnighting just off Dome Rock Road.  Same place we had stayed the night before.  After Thursdays rain we had a sweet smelling desert.

No hurry to be anywhere but somewhere around 9 we were finally westbound on I-10 heading towards Blyth California again.  This has to be a record for us in regards to crossing and re-crossing the Colorado River.  In Blyth we slipped back off off I-10 picking up Lovekin Blvd heading south out of town for the Cibola Wildlife Refuge.

I'VE LOST COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES WE HAVE CROSSED THE STATE LINE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA THESE PAST COUPLE WEEKS

With another beautiful morning unfolding around us we leisurely made our way through the green growing agricultural belt along the Colorado River.  Reaching the Cibola Refuge we went straight away to the spot we had just left a couple days ago.  Slides out, chairs and tables out......then we packed everything back up and went back to Blyth.  What??

ON NO NOT ANOTHER 'CROSSING THE COLORADO RIVER' PHOTO

While walking around the coach I noticed our passenger side dually tire was low on air.  With confusion lately over valve extenders, etc we decided to head ourselves straightaway to a tire center and get things straightened out.

THIS LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FIELD OF CABBAGE

After reading tire facility reviews we picked the Good Year Standage Auto and Tire  on Blyth's main street and as it turns out we were glad we did.  The tire was down to 35 pounds and the problem once again turned out to be the 'valve stem'.  Tire was removed, valve stem repaired, valve extenders reinstalled and all tires checked.  Total cost, nothing:))  They didn't charge us anything.  Well how nice was that.  Two big thumbs up for Blyth California's Standage Tire and Auto facility:))  And they also specialize in muffler work as well.

With our happy RV faces on we popped over to McDonalds for a couple coffees to go and headed back to the Cibola Wildlife Refuge and the spot we had just left a couple hours before.  By the time we got settled again we was totally whupped.  Where we will be tomorrow is anybody's guess but we are contemplating another move.

HARD TO KNOW WHAT THESE FOLKS ARE PICKING

THAT'S QUITE A PEOPLE PICKING MACHINE

'A-HA'.....IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THOSE BOXES YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS THEY ARE PICKING

Southern California sure got hit hard with recent heavy rains and one of our readers on my sidebar got tangled up in it.  Cheryl from Deep Canyon had quite a time with her car in the swirling waters around Palm Springs.  We heard a couple main roads near Borrego Springs have been re-opened.  Sure must have been quite a rain they had there.  That should make for some pretty fantastic flower blooms in the desert now.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( During a performance for the high school talent show at the local theater, a hole was cracked in the stage floor. Subsequent acts managed to avoid the damaged area until little Freddy, juggling bowling pins, accidentally stepped through the hole up to his knees. He apologized to the audience for his clumsiness. But a heckler in the back of the theater shouted: "Don't worry, Freddy! It's just a stage you're going through!"

Two friends are  chatting..."I will give one million dollars to the person who will fulfill my wish."  "What is your wish?"  "That somebody would give me two million dollars."

Q: What did the baby digital watch say to the mommy analog watch?
A: Look Ma, no hands!
