Goodmorning all,

Happy Monday!

It's gonna be 100* or more today according to the news, so have plenty of water available to drink, wear your sunglasses/sunscreen, & do your best to stay cool! You could drape a cold/wet hand towel around your neck to help keep you cool or even wet your shirt/clothes down! (WOOHOO! - wet t-shirt contest)
I normally put a couple of washclothees in a ziplock bag with ice & enough water to cover the washclothes & bring it with me when I have to go somewhere.

I normally enjoy the heat, but without a slight breeze...it makes it hard to stay cool, muchless breath! If I didn't have to go to Fallon to look at a boat today, I'd stay inside with the A/C on!


Have a great day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!

Another hot one. so be prepared!
My trip out to Fallon yesterday sucked. Went all that way, for nothin'!
I was hoping that the boat & trailer was in better condition than it was. It even looked bigger in the pictures. Oh well, I'll keep looking! Something is bound to come along.

Have a awesome day!

Happy Tuesday Nevada FTE! The key word for today is hydration! Drink plenty of water or juices, as it is going to be a hot one out there. I plan on staying indoors as much as possible. (Thank God the Bronco's AC works!)

After this years travels...the kids will hit 40 of our beautiful states they have been in!...not bad for a 13 and 15 year old...huh!
