Is anyone planning on going to Carson Harley Davidson or the V. C. titty parade? If so, maybe we can make arrangements to meet up somewhere prior, especially since phone signal sucks in Virginia City.

Have a happy & safe weekend and please be cautious... LOOK/LISTEN 2X for motorcycles (me) around you!
I hope every one in that parade utilized sunblock!
You know safety first!

Good afternoon everyone.

Happy 2 for Tuesday!

QOTD:

1)What brand of tires is your favorite?

I personally like B F Goodrich or Mickey Thompsons depending on what they're going on.

2) Glass packs, Cherry Bombs or Headers?

Back in highschool...glass packs or cherry bombs, but now....??? (Probably headers)

Have a great day!

BF Goodrich are my favorite tires, even though I cannot afford them.

Glass packs. Only because they would be a lot easier (and cheaper) to put on than headers. Assuming anyone even made headers for a 96 Thunderbird. LOL

Good morning Nevada, happy Hump Day!

1) I'm a Goodyear guy, at least for my 06. Not sure what the 67 will get. Of course, the Mustang has BFG's on it, mainly for the white lettering!

2) Headers. And a nice set of throaty mufflers!

Morning everyone.

1. I prefer bridgestones for street and highway. I don't have much experience with the trail needs out here so I am still learning what is best for that.

2. Personally I prefer stock and quiet. more than that would be header and the quietest muffler I could find without restricting the header.

Good evening guys

Yeah... tomorrow's Friday!
I'm so ready for the weekend. Who's with me?

Any special plans this weekend?

Sunday is my granddaughter, Arianas 1st birthday so we'll be celebrating it with the rest of the family. Hard to believe it's almost been a year already. Boy, does time fly!
Heck, baby Amaya will be 2 months old on Oct. 6th & yet she still weighs/looks like a newborn. I dont think she even weighs 6 lbs yet!

Have a great weekend.

Good morning guys

WOOHOO....it's Friday!

Well, it's time to look for some PT work close to home. I havent been at the car lot for about a month or so now & the new salesman is already burnt out. Im tired of being a free built in babysitter for every little thing.... (except work) phone/internet time, food/cigarette breaks, appointments, sleeping in & showers. It's getting ridiculous! Especially on Cammys days off. I understand she wants the extra help 24/7, but this grandma just can't keep up like I used too, plus I need a day off to get away & be alone (sanity time). I was a single mom once with 3 kids - 1 walking & 2 in carseats.....so I do actually know how she feels & it sucks. But, you gotta do whatcha gotta do to survive without depending on others. Yah, it can be a PIA to lug around 3 kids by yourself & do things/work hours that you dont want to, but you make sacrifices for your children. I wonder what Cammy would do if we weren't around? Oh well, she'll have to figure something out once I find a job,

Have a great day & wish me luck on the job hunt. Lol
