You a funny guy, lunch in St. George. lmao.gif OK, I'm IN!

 

OK, seriously, I don't recall a mention of B-fast in Beatty. However, I'm sure if you propose it, someone(s) will show up. If for no other reason than to keep you from having to dine alone. thumbsup.gif

 

You do realize I'm referring to having breakfast in Beatty on Friday, right?

Just to let the crowd know there will be one less LT to kick dirt on. I'm starting a new position on Janruary 2 and it would kinda be bad form to ask for a Friday off after only two weeks. I was on the recon and you all will have a blast.

 

I have a room reserved for Spring Torrey and I may quit if I can't get time off for that one. thumbsup.gif

Over 1400 hours of OT and there are still 3 weeks left in the year! dopeslap.gifdopeslap.gifdopeslap.gif

 

Dood! We gotta have a "life is short" conversation!

ooo.gif

 

Have it with our recently "retired" chief. He's the one who short staffed us for so long and then brought up a new engine company without hiring any one!

 

7 new hires started on Nov. 27. They are in their field observation phase as we speak. Relief is on the way!!!!! clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

 

Trust me. The stress has now manifested itself in my teeth of all things. Bruxism has started to leave me with the feeling of a tooth ache due to the stress. Dentist states I need to go ride!!! Wish I could have gotten him to write that down on his letterhead! lmao.giflmao.giflmao.gif

 

FYI, there are more than 15 people in the same boat as me so I ain't alone. bncry.gifbncry.gifbncry.gif

This thread is slipping off the first page, so I'll bring it back up top to talk about evaluating my gear (get yur 'kit together) in preparation for cold or wet weather (hope not). I needed a new pair of britches designed for weather as reported in the 2007 DVD, so I started internet searches. I wanted a 1-piece non-overpant with plenty of length in the seated positon. I almost ordered online but decided to visit the HonYamKawZuk dealer that sponsors a riders club I'm in. No luck. Mostly vented and/or overpants - not what I was looking for. Then I checked out their clearance rack. What's this? One pair of the very brand and model I wanted? But size XXL? Way too large? I remembered these run small so I tried 'em on and now they're mine for 1/2 MSRP. Took a little moto test run on Sunday - not cold with upper 50s temps, but with post-rain blustery winds. These will keep me comfy next month!

Which 5 star campground will you two be staying at? lmao.giflmao.giflmao.gif

So he can take that Chevy Chase thing on vacation.

Bring the COON DOG!

 

He's ready!!!!.......

 

Looks like he enjoys koi also! tongue.gif

 

He loves sushi...but this way he can blame it on the Coon.

 

He already ate over 20 of Louise's Koi.

 

He promised me he wouldn't bother Tom's...

Hey Whip, that was a big part of my post on the prior page - making sure my gear is "suitable" (pun intended) for cold or wet weather. grin.gif

A few pics from last year

 

DVD07001-1.jpg

I live out here in the edge of this desert and that's what it looked like the morning we left!

 

 

beemer034.jpg

This is Westgard Pass on 168 headed towards Nevada, but we had to go out of our way to find this. Can you ID this luker in the picture? Put him on the list of commited to be there clap.gif

 

 

beemer045.jpg

And for you dirt kinda guys this is on top of Wildrose at the charcoal kilns. These things are a lot bigger than they look in the pic. We rode our RT's up and over that pass so not to bad, just had to cool it a bit thumbsup.gif

 

 

See ya there wave.gif

If the weather forecasts look good for that weekend, I will ride the bike out by myself. But if weather looks iffy, I will trailer the bike out and bring my lovely bride with me. She expresses no interest in riding across Nevada in 30 degree (or colder) temps.

 

So it's a win/win no matter what happens.

 

Really looking forward to this weekend away.

 

Regards,

hey there Mister "P" ...

My name is on the Condemned List.

And you? lmao.giflmao.gif

 

Lest we repeat the last year's ride making debacle, I shall not commit until after the period of hire backs for the department. I should know in about 1-1/2 weeks. thumbsup.gif
