Oh for sure it gets chilly sometimes. I’m on the River near Bullhead City. At night here it is usually over 100 from June through October’ish. ‘Usually’. But occasionally it cools off into the 80s. THOSE nights are awesome.

Just to add, probably my second favorite is after the scenario above when the sky clears up, it’s a full moon and the temp drops below zero... and that silence engulfs everything.
All the trees branches are crushed downward and it looks like a field of giant white cones sticking up from a sheet of cotton. And EVERYTHING literally sparkles in that moonlight.

I was thinking the BTR is tracked, while the BMP is wheeled.

BTR-60, 70 are wheeled, BMP-1, 2, 3 are tracked. Even my frau knows this is not a tank.

We have one at school and the D@MN thing never shuts up. You should have seen /heard him the day my Cocker spaniel; decided she wanted chicken for lunch. Kept his mouth shut for the whole day after that.

I always wish I had learned to paint just to TRY capturing that. You just did. Thanks for the pretty picture.

A friend of mine use to live in Lake Havasu City. I never understood how it could get so hot there. I would have thought the river would have some cooling effect.

It does. Havasu sits at the bottom of a valley. I’d hate to imagine how hot it would get without the lake.

It’s a weird deal. To the west there is a gradual several hundred foot climb, to the north and south, another several hundred foot drop and the east sits up against the mountains. Then there is the lake whose water is coming off the bottom of Hoover/Lake Mead and then the bottom of the BHC dam. So it gets to Havasu about 32.1 degrees ;)
Seriously though, it is quite cold even considering the 50ish mile trip from Bullhead City. So Lake Havasu itself is a huge heat sink.
Lake Havasu City is usually within 3 or so degrees of BHC/Laughlin/Needles despite sitting at the bottom of that valley so that lake has to be absorbing a huge level of heat to keep it there. Granted, BHC/Laughlin/Needles are also at the bottom of a valley but it is a MUCH bigger valley with much more circulation.

Sure at that point it was empty. Yes, because we all know these things only carry one round, and he knew for a fact the tank did not have an automatic feed system. /sarc
