June 6 Yuma

Pat and I usually eat here on Friday nights during the winter.  Name recently changed from "The Mad Chef" to "The Copper Miner Kitchen"

Amber hamming it up.  She's our favorite waitress

Same owner, same menu, same people, different sign.

This was a planned motorcycle trip...but, since it was 116 degrees today, and tomorrow in Barstow 113, I decided to take the truck with the A/C this time.

Mario is the park handiman, gardiner, and all 'round good guy.  As soon as he saw a strange truck drive in he made a "bee line" to see who it was.  There is a slight language barrier, but we get around it :-)

Jim & KT's and ours next to it.  The park it almost empty, but it well kept up during the summer.

Our Tangelo tree is looking healthy again.  Had a couple of bad years, although it had good fruit.  Now a good balance of water and fertilizer and it's looking real good.

Our back yard.  There is a well kept putting green (not in the picture) 

105 a little before 11 AM.  Got to 116 by 2 PM.  That was from a digital sign in town, don't know what this one was reading.  Probably higher since it picks up heat from the tin roof by afternoon

We're fortunate to have two paved parking spots.  The carport is covered on the other side.  Looks pretty bare without our "beach" decorations.  We put them in the storage room while we're gone for the summer.

Our friend Redd just painted out the entire inside of his apartment.  He has it looking nice.

Redd is an OLD batchelor, but he takes pride in his apartment

Went to Mexico.  Sure looks different without all the snowbirds over here.

Algodones is continually being upgraded.  Every year it's more modern.  I liked it the old way better.

At my friend Jose's.  These people are enjoying shrimp cocktails

White cheese smoothering a burrito.  Nice lunch.

Mid summer temperatures and it's only early June

Since Jose has a lot of local customers, he's able to stay open all year.  Many of the places close in the Summer when all the tourists leave.  Had a nice time "South of the Border" today.
