Sunburn Pics
Finally took some pictures of our sunburns. Top of Jimmy's head & Karl feet are starting to get blisters. OUCH...my poor guys! 
First 2 are of Karl, second 2 are of Kaedon, next 2 are Jimmy & then I'm last with barely any sunburn. LOL!

HOT, HOT HOT !!!
O U C H That hurts all the way down here I burned the tops of my feet at the river once and lost 4 days of work, but I think they are in your good first aid trained hands ... they should recover soon ... I promise NEVER to forget my SPF 1000 lotion ever

I have had best luck using "Banana Boat SPF 50" It's great stuff.
I learned that the SPF ratings are not at all linear in describing the protection level. After SPF 30 the increase in effectiveness becomes less and less with the increase in numbers.
Donna you are very lucky not to be so much affected! Good for you.
The key to sunblock effectiveness is mainly how well it stays on. Many of them are not at all waterproof so you have to re-apply every hour or so. Many of them come off just from sweat.

Taco Tuesday again !!!
Goooooood morning FTE !!! Cooled down nicely last night to around 70* shut the A/C down and kicked on the fans... can't do that when it's hot and windy ... we get internal sand storms !!!
Put the final touches on my E-fan install and re-installed the grill. Wednesday will be test drive day, will be checking power and MPG, about a 160 mi, round trip. I'm going into Vegas to pick up a swamp cooler and get put in here ... for cheaper cooling for the summer !!!
According to my "Gas Buddy" app our regular is down to $2.99 to $3.09 per gal. at the stations I trade with ... Maverik & Rebel ... now I can afford to fill both tanks !!!
Have a GREAT DAY... Dave

Morning All,
Have a Tantilizing Tuesday! I hope it's a good one for ya! 
I have to take Karl to summer school this morning. He missed his bus!
Ofcourse it's not his fault that we never got a bus schedule, so he didn't know what time to be at the bus stop. GRR!!!
Try to get back on later. Have a great day!

Happy Tuesday Nevada FTE! The weatherman says our spring temps are over today, tomorrow it starts the summer climb. I'll try to enjoy this as much as possible.
Donna, looks like your whole family got a severe case of lobster skin. Better tell Kaedon to stay indoors, I would not walk around outside with a white "X" on my back, some errant hunter might mistake her for a target!
