Saturday

  Rained last night, but we woke up to a bright sunny morning.  It was nice to be back in our familiar bed again.  A pretty nice day, shirt sleeve weather.  Went for a bit of a tour around Bullhead City & Laughlin.  For those of you not familiar with the place, the two are on opposite sides of the Colorado river, which is the state line between Arizona & Nevada.  The casinos are really all there is in Laughlin, all the people live in Bullhead City, where most of the services are located.
  Went to Ihop for lunch, now I know I'm really in the south, my first Ihop.  Stopped on the way back to wash the car.  A quick stop at Terribles for fuel and a car wash.  They give you 20 cents a gallon off, which made fuel $2.94/gallon, I think that would be approx. 75 cents a litre.  I think we must have had the dirtiest car in the place.  A funny thing on the radio when the announcer was talking about only using his windshield wipers a couple times a year and hoping they had fluid.  He should have driven with us, where you need to pack an extra gallon of windshield washer fluid.  A stop at Safeway to stock the pantry and fridge, then back back to the rv park.
  Went to the casino for a few hours.  They really had my number, let me get ahead, then pulled the rug out.  Marg got them though, she made more than I donated.  Just about enough for supper.  Supper was - yes you guessed it; back to the buffet.  The feature at the buffet was prime rib, so we had a very nice dinner.  It was funny because tonight was what they call 2fer, meaning if you get there before 6pm, it was 2 for the price of 1.  We got there at 6:15, but had forgot to change our watches from the time zone at home & in Utah.  As we are on the Nevada side of the Colorado, that made it 5:15, so life was good.
