JAN 14, 24 (2/2) .. HOT AIR BALLOONS.. VW BUSES.. SOUTH DAKOTA.. THE NFL PLAYOFFS..

NO! You are not “imagining” that the above title is exactly the same (a Mirror Image) as yesterday’s Post except yesterday’s Post is Part 1/2 and today’s Post is Part 2/2′.

Why? Because I am writing about the exact same four topics, in the same order.

Today I will writing about, not one, but two significant Lake Havasu City annual events..

– – – – – – – –

First..

Yesterday (Saturday the 13th) we began by going to the Lake Havasu City Convention Center to check in to volunteer at the event next weekend.

Saturday, January the 13th, 2024 – 9am to 10:30am

The 13th Annual Havasu Balloon Festival & Fair

At the Convention Center we formally and officially signed in, confirmed our assignments, picked up wrist band identification bracelets, Volunteer T-Shirts, badges etc.

A very VERY nice T-Shirt.

Whew! So far so good. A bit of waiting in a long line. More waiting to get signed in, pick up T-Shirts. But all in all it was fun.

Out and off the two of us drove.

Second, the two of us drove over to visit The 27th Annual VW Buses By The Bridge Show that began this past Thursday, January the 11th.

Below is an “up close” look at the above newspaper article.

By Wednesday afternoon, dozens of Volkswagen bus owners had lined up in preparation for gates opening the next morning.

So, fresh from signing up over at the Balloon Festival Headquarters, we headed for the VW Buses Show.

Patti waited in our GMC Suburban and read a book and I set off to explore the show.

Yes Oh Yes there were other activities underway for all ages.

Some Fun!

There will be more VW Buses By The Bridge photos over on blogspot when I am able to get a Post together.

Hello Kit in South Dakota.

Yo!

Kit! 

Is it STILL cold in South Dakota? It sure was yesterday.

Oh My.. Oh My.. it IS still CCCCCCold!

Kit sent us the below photos yesterday.

Below are photos of a Big Horn Sheep herd coming down a steep incline to reach a local road near Deadwood, South Dakota.

How on earth could anyone pass up this tremendous photo opportunity.

As we said yesterday ..

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH KIT FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION !!

HELLO Football Fans.

Today is Day Number Two of The 2023 – 24 Playoffs. 

This afternoon the Green Bay Packers travel to Texas to play the Dallas Cowboys. Then this evening the Los Angeles Rams travel to Detroit to play the Detroit Lions.

Patti and I are very interested in both games and plan to watch them.

Still Standing. Still Smiling.

Oh My How Time Flies.. 

Goodness Captain! It IS bedtime.

    Cap and Patti, I was thinking of you and also rooting for the Lions! Hooray!
    Yep, it is still cold, -15f at my house in Spearfish. Frozen water pipes, and we’ll crawl under this afternoon to see if we can heat it up. May have to wait until it thaws tomorrow or Wednesday. Good thing I come from earthquake country and always have water and supplies of all kinds.
    I sure love seeing those VW busses, and saying a prayer for the fella who died. Yep, what a way to go…doing something on your wish list. May he rest well on his journey.
    Enjoy your day!
    Kit

      You “nailed it” about Mr. Croley. What a nice “Way to pass on!” Oh my, thawing pipes in the cold weather can be a challenge Kit. Happy you liked seeing the VW Buses Kit. You said that your sister had and loved a Mustard Yellow VW Bus for years. Smiles Kit. Cap and Patti
