Morning Nevada!

Well we're in for another hot day here in Indiana...

Had 101° yesterday, gonna be 103° today and 106° tomorrow...and there are still ~5,000 people without power from last FRIDAY...HOLY COW!!!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th!

Joe.

 

Good morning around the FTE world and to all visitors. Hope your 4TH of July was everything you hoped for. We ended up with a mild and rainy day, but it cleared up for the BBQ and local fireworks. The food was great and a good time was had by all ... and some it was tooooo good. Today I expect to hear from a select few the statement "OH damnit why did I do that" but not by me.... I am a non-drinker !!! Dave
Joe, Thanks for the video ... one of my favorites and the right one for the 4TH

 

Hi all,

Happy Thursday!

I hope everyone had a funfilled & safe 4th of July!
We went to a friends for a BBQ & to watch the fireworks. Well, the BBQ & visiting w/ friends was awesome! As for the fireworks... we really couldn't see them from their house. There were a few of the really high ones the we could see, but the rest had a mountain in the way! GRR! Oh well, maybe next year!

 

Good afternoon Nevada hope everyone had a nice fourth!
Had some fireworks in Reading, about 7 miles from house, we never go!
Just kicked back and had a cook out with family

 

Goodmorning NV

Rise & Shine!
WOOHOO...It's Friday! Let's get this party started!

It's gonna be around 93 degrees in the Reno/Sparks area today & even hotter in some areas of the State. Remember to drink plenty of water & use sunscreen if your going anywhere.

Today I have to go through some more stuff in my shed again. What a dusty mess! This wind just coats everything w/ a thin layer of dirt/dust. YUCK! On the plus side, yesterday I came across my old hand-me-down stereo from my sister (sentimental value ) Damn, it's missing the on/off/volume ***! It probably fell off when I moved - hopefully it's in a box somewhere. It's a Hitachi AM/FM 8 track stereo and next to it was a bag of about six 8 tracks! Nazareth, Air Supply, Neil Diamond, The Cars, Country, &
a homemade one. Aaawww...the memories! Now to see it it sill works! I brought it inside, cleaned it up & turned it on (had to use needle nose to pull the control)...well, the light on the dial & radio still works! - although the volume control is touchy/staticy causing the speakers to go in/out. I think the dial marker thingy is off by a station or two, but the speakers kicked *** once I got the volume control to work w/out static! The Phono & Tape (don't know about the Phono part - never had a record player for it) aren't working. Bummer! I really wanted to listen to those 8 tracks too. It used to work awesome back in the 80's & 90's. Hmm, maybe it needs a internal cleaning too?!
I just wanted to share the memories. I wonder what else I'll come across that I've forgotten about? If I find something interesting, I'll let you know.

I hope you have a totally Radical Friday Dudes & Dudettes!

 

Interesting about the 8-track player. I have not had one in a long time (20+ years) Maybe a good cleaning will help it.

Happy Friday Nevada FTE! TGIF, going to a hot one, be safe, and careful in the heat.

Jim

 

Morning Nevada!

Well we're in for our 4th straight 100° day today...oh joy...it'll be our ALL-TIME record in Fort Wayne!!!

The good news is that we'll be back to "normal" tomorrow with mid-80's...is it sick that sounds good to me?...

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Joe.

 

Howdy Nevada gang

Hope everyone try to stay cool, and drink lots of liquids

 

Goodmorning everyone,

I hope you have a Super Saturday!

It's gonna be another hot one today - 98* is what they were saying on the news yesterday. It's supposed to be 100* on Monday! Granted I like the heat, but it doesn't like me as I'm getting older. Kinda like the cold, my old body can't take it like it used too in my teen years & my bones & joints feel it! Maybe I shouldn't have abused my body so much. LOL! Sucks getting older!!!

Jim - I've had the 8 track stereo since 1983 that I can remember & who knows how long my sister had it before she handed it down to me. I still have her "hand me down" super single waterbed too! I know that works, because I've used it for years. I can't set it up in our new house though. Something about mobile homes not being able to hold that much weight &/or the manufactured home frame is constructed of 1"- 2" wood? oh well, one of these days I'll be able to set it up again & enjoy a nice soft, temp. controlled bed. I'm sure my back would love it too!

 

What's happening, NV? Hope it's a great weekend with lots of racing, grilling and relaxing...

 

No racing for me at the moment. I have to replace my front axle before I can do any racing. As well as a couple other things But out with the split axle and in with the solid Dana 60 Hopefully coming soon

Well, good morning everyone, and good night. Time for bed

 

Morning Nevada!

Happy Sunday!...even if I have to fly again...

But the good news...I get home on Thursday and we leave on Friday for our near 3 week RV trip through some more of our beautiful country...after this trip our 13 and 15 yr old girls will have been in 40 states!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day and a great week ahead...

Oh yeah...the triple digits have FINALLY broken in Indiana...we'll "only" be in the upper 80's today!

Joe.

 

It's going to be really hot down here. They say 112* but it's always around 5* hotter in the neighborhoods.

 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Great British F1 race today!

Loving this weather.

One dog washed and one to go.

 

Good morning everyone. Well, it's my Wednesday so my work week is half over now. Time for a beer and to catch up on some manga. Have fun.
