For some time my wife had been dreaming of buying a convertible.
We did some shopping around the car lots in Santa Cruz. We bought her a 1978 MGB convertible. She loved that car.

Yes, the corners are bit more squared off on the Fiat. To me it is a cooler looking car.

My brother had one of those a looong time ago. I always liked it, too.

Haha, Chow likes it better, too. Maybe that's why he suggested it.

For the first time, I saw a new electric Mustang this morning on TV.

All I can say is, “They’ve GOT to be kidding!†Whether you are a Ford person or some other-kind-of-car person, that can leave you scratching your head. It made me do this and this LOL

I can't believe you just mentioned Avi Casino - I just was telling a colleague about that place today. Our last trip there was around 12-13 years ago. Instead of driving, we came up on the river from a nearby campsite and hitched the boat in the marina. My brother won a few hundred dollars at the slots in less than 30 minutes. As you stated - fun times!

Yes, the slots paid quite often. On video poker we got a Royal Flush several times, around 10 years ago. Using our players card, we enjoyed some tasty meals, free. PepperMill Reno provided much fun for us, also...

I had a great time on the river. I caught & released some nice sized Striped Bass.

I know you've mentioned Avi over the years. My dad used to go there. He would take those chartered bus trips to Laughlin. Chow and I used to accompany him sometimes. We would pass Avi but I don't believe we ever actually stopped there ourselves. I always thought it was a pretty name. lol

We used to go there 1 or 2 times a year. The folks there were very friendly. They had large hot dogs that are very tasty, usually 50 cents or sometimes free. One day a week they had a lot of drawings for stuff like t-shirts/ball caps/mugs/key chains/duffel bags/etc, by one of the bar areas...

Avi was some miles outside Laughlin. We enjoyed Avi much more then Laughlin. We could park the motorhome in their parking lot as long as we wanted or they would comp our stay in their RV Park.

As I try to recall, it seemed like it was kind of out by itself in the boonies.

It's great that you had the RV.
