Do you live in the Reno / Sparks area and are banded???

I would love to get together to compare notes, cup of coffee, start walking with a partner etc.

Interested?

Pam, how does noon on sunday sound to you??

I got to go out and ride sleds today. It was AWSOME!!! beautiful snow! I did break my sled, so I am done now for the year for sure.

Chris

My DH made plans for Sunday, maybe I can regotiate with him, let me get back to you okay?

Pam,

No sweat if you can't go. I have my wifes car tore appart while she is in Texas and that would give me time to put it back together anyway. Just let me know, and I will either be there or be under her car haha!!!

Chris

I really want to go and your inspiring me to do the 2 mile walk.

My accountant may need me so I will get on LBT around 11am if that is okay with you. At this point we are on for meeting by the bathrooms right by the freeway, I am only bringing one dog; the poodle. She can keep up!

sounds good Pam, I will check about 11;00 and see if you can make it. I have to go into town and get some new work boots anyway. You are talking about the restrooms right by the roundabout at the marina right??

Chris

Eeeeek I did not know there were more than one set of bathrooms.

So lets see From I-80 and McCarren I make right on Nichols and veer right through the round about (i think) and go through the back of a parking lot for the "hotel" section of Western Village and at the end of that parking lot back by the freeway there is a set of bathrooms and a pier for fishing and then a little further the "dog park area".

Have you been walking? Is two miles alot for you? We can take it as fast or slow as you want, but we must finish, because there is only one way to get back to our cars. :confused:

thats the place. 2 miles is no problem. I can walk 5 or 6 if I need to. Just let me know if you are going to be there. My truck is a red Dodge Ram with a flatbed.

Chris

Flatbed? Is that because of the snowmobiles? I remember what you look like, so I will be watching for you.

I would love to "easily" walk 5-6 but it would take me .... awhile; maybe a couple hours.

I am 99% sure I will be there. I drive a green camry with a grey/silver poodle as my passenger in the front seat.

Hey anybody else want to join us? How about Red???? hmmmmm???? Gail? Are you in town tomarrow? Newme.... you really should be walking with us! What about NvGirl?????

I won't be in town but thanks for asking. I came home again Friday nite. Didn't get any South Beach. My DH ran out of time!

I'd love to! However I was working in Vegas all week and brought home a ton of 'catch-up' work that was waiting on my desk for me. Ugh!

Another time, though, definitely!

yeah, the flatbed is so I can haul the quads or sleds and still pull my camp trailer. We were looking at toy haulers a few years ago and my wife hated them. We compromised on getting a pickup with a flatbed instead. My dog is a boxer. It will be interesting to see how she does at the dog area. I have had her around other dogs all her life, but she is such a big sissy:) The neighbors Chiuawa ran her off the other day.

Chris

My poodle will love your dog. Our last boxer just passed away one year ago. Does your dog go in the Water? Bring a water bottle IF she does because water bottles filled 1/2 will float and she can chase it. Does she retrieve? I love boxers; I was raised with them and then I had raised my kids with boxers; but I HATE the short (average 12 year) lifespan; it is too short for me.

I am sitting here waiting for the accountant to call and tell me what time we are getting together today.

retrieve?? haha! She wi chase after anything, once she gets it she wants you to chase after her and get it back!! My uncle had a boxer when I was living with them in hi school and ever since I wanted one! This is my first, but won't be my last! They are such fun dogs!

Chris

Pam,

Would it be easier for you if we postpone till like 3:00 ??

Let me know if that would be better, I just need to be back home around 5 so I can get ready to go to work

Hi Chris and Pam and everyone!

I wish I could meet you for the walk but about 2 miles is about all I can do at this time. I keep plugging away!

Chris, we just sold our 3500 Silverado gas guzzling long bed extended cab. We loved that truck but it just used way to much gas.

Anyway we are not sorry we sold it. We found a 1997 crew cab, diesel dually in Yerington for $6400. It had some serious rust and damage to the bed of the truck. Like one fender was all blown out. My DH thinks it blew a tire and did the damage to the fender. At any rate, we went to Otts Farm Equipment in Fallon and are waiting for them to call and say the tool boxes and running boards are in and then they will install the flatbed (in stock) and everything else. My DH wanted to be able to piggy back the quads and also take the Gold Wing if we go on a trip. We have a 5th wheel right now but are planning on getting a trailer to pull behind the flatbed.

Needless to say he is pretty excited about it!

We had a ball quading yesterday. Maiden voyage. We just love them!

P.S. I don't like the toy haulers either!

Gail
