Reno or N. Nevada Bandsters out there???

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.

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;

For Chris to be able to walk 5-6 mi. is EXCEPTIONAL. He must have a physical job to be able to keep him in shape like that.

2 miles is about all I want to walk at any time, after that I am pushing myself, that is why the Marina is a perfect walk for me.

I usually just walk around the neighborhood here. They having a walking path down at the park. I have been threatening going there. I will take my pedometer with me and find out how far it is. I say that like I am a real pro with that pedometer. Laugh!! I have never used it yet. I found it in the airport one time! I am guessing only about a mile. It has a pretty steep incline coming back.

I am losing weight again, I think it is the South Beach Breakfast and lunches.

However, it might be that I am slightly nauseated every afternoon, about 1130-2pm-3pm so it is dimenishing my appetite.

But maybe I am interrepting this as slightly nauseated but in reality maybe it is just me not being hungry. wierd wierd wierd.

I just have to stay away from eating in the mid day time. It just makes me say yuck at that time of day. hmmmmmmmm

I guess I needed to clarify. I can walk that far, but I don't like to do it :girl_hug:

I have had to walk up to 10 miles in a day when I go hunting. usually it is closer to the 5 or 6 I do do alot of activity at work, along with the sledding, quads and keeping up with an 8yo

Gail, I will see if I can post a couple of picss of my truck loaded up

OK, I am going to try to do an jpg. attachment of our quads. Hang on!

Couldn't get it to work. My file sizes are all over 100mb. They are anywhere from 112mbs to 125 mbs. Is there a way I can reduce them? I am not that familiar with reducing the files.

[drtnsnw 0]

Gail, I do mine through paint. You open the pic in paint and then use the image tabthen size if I remember right and slide the size down to about 75% and see how that fits. If you can't get it send the pics to me and I can shrink them down for you.

Hey everyobody! How are you all doing? It sounds like you are all keeping busy. Thats great! How are you all doing eatting and exercising? I am making it to the Sanctuary about three times a week and Gold's about once or twice a week. I do my strength trainging at the Sanctuary with Power Plates and Pilates and I am doing cardio at Golds. I do need to get to golds more often though.

I had my first fill yesterday. It was a pretty small fill just 1cc. But Dr. Ganser put in the smallest band so I guess I already had some restriction. The worst part of the fill was my nerves. The numb the area with some lidocaine first and then they put the needle in and give you the fill.

They do have you look at a chart or graph to see where you fall in the needing or not needing a fill category.

I have to be on fluids again for the first 48 to 72 hours after the fill and then on soft and mushy food again for a week. I am filling more restriction even with just drinking smoothies and things. I have to drink alot slower and take smaller sips.

Well let me know when you all go for a walk again and I will make every effort to try to make it.

Hey are you guys going to the fashion show on the 21st? Dale and I will be there, I am so excited to see other peoples results and success.

We were out off roading and forgot to go to the last support group metting, but as long as I so not have to work on this months meeting we will be there.

Well now that I have chatted your ear off I will let you all go and I will talk to you later.

I will try to be better about getting on here and chatting with you all.
