Nevada April BS Thread

Goodmorning Nevada & FTE friends

It's April Fool's Day, so watch out for those people that are playing jokes on you!

I hope everyone isn't too wind blown after yesterday. My house in Moundhouse survived, but I've got alot of work ahead of me to fix it. I hope everyone faired out ok? I hope today is better!
Have a good one...

The snow has melted down this morning. About half of what fell is still there so it will be a sloppy mess trying to move it to clear the driveways.

Happy April first everyone.

New day, new month and I can't believe it is April already! Three months have passed this year.
I am looking forward to some spring time weather.

Have a great day.

At two thirty pm, sunny clear sky and snow is mostly gone! [that's from a foot of snow yesterday eve]

If variety is the spice of life, we have some spicy weather going on here!

We sure do! It was snowing here this morning to, but it didn't stick. Found a computer in A-1 condition in WA, $596 later, still need it flashed to my truck and probably an upgrade on the super chip wouldn't hurt either.

Donna, Bruce, Gerry, and all the other FTE'rs , it's spring time and Bruce you job is to control that weather even if we could use the rain/snow.
Donna, hope the damage was minimal at the other house, I'll bet you have plenty to do.

First time I did the roll call, I hope I did it right !!!

Wink Bruce is innocent !!!

I really shouldn't saddle you with any responsibility for the weather this year, it has been is all screwed up. When my bro in Chicago had 80*'s and Pahrump was in the low 50*'s... that's just wrong !!! We never seem to get a lot of rain here, and for a town called Pahrump (indian for water rock) you would think we would have more than 0.42" of rain this year so far. Last month we had a roof ripping wind storm that produced "mudrain" EVERYTHING in town needed a bath.
So I guess I will drop you as the "person" in charge of the Nevada weather some day it would be nice to have a G2G to join faces with typing errr names. I would do a Pahrump G2G, but I already know me, so that's out. Gotta hit the sack got a DR apt. @ 8:30 am ... take care and be safe.... Dave

At least you found one, Michelle. That's the important part.

I can't believe I'm still up at 3:35am. I must be mental! LOL

I hope everyone has a good Monday!

Morning Nevada and welcome to April!

Well I went out fishing all day yesterday...and we did more than fish...we CAUGHT!!! ...

Here's some pictures to prove it!







I've been enjoying a vacation down at Marco Island Florida...and we did an 8 hour charter...grouper season opened yesterday...

We went out about 25 to 28 miles...had a GREAT TIME...as you can see we caught lots of fish!

I'll be cooking up the fish tonight...going to make indiviual "pouches" of fish, onions, peppers, spices and a little butter...seal up the foil and cook them on the grill...YUM...I'll also make a big pouch of potatoes and onions as well...

I'll be enjoying another relaxing day on the beach today with the family and I think Wednesday we'll be taking the girls (my 2 and the other family we're with's 3) out on an air boat tour of the Everglades...that should be fun!

Hope everyone is having a great April so far...I know we are!

Take care,
Joe.

Goodmorning guys & gals,

Hi Gerry!
Hi Joe!
Hi 67GT!
I hope everyone had an awesome April Fool's Day & not too many pranks were pulled on you. We forgot about pulling pranks & joking around. It was just another day around here.
I have to take the kids to the dentist this morning, so I have to let the school know their going to be late. Now if I could only find their number?!
Have a great day & be safe out there!

We are into the second quarter of the year already![???}

Good morning everyone. I'm still looking out the window at snow. Most of it melted off yesterday but there is still quite a bit.

Looks like Joe is having a great vacation, go for it!

Nice work on the truck computer Michelle! I knew there had to be a solution...

Dave, I hope the trip to the Dr is routine.
I keep thinking about how we could inspire a GTG, maybe Tonopah, cause it's halfway between north and south. I know there is not too much there, but maybe we could have .22 cal shooting contests in the hills or something like that.

I'm glad to see our visitors dropping in. Is it still morning?

Gotta get busy now, Cheers!
