Duane and His Hobby

Many people don't know this but Duane has his own sewing machine! He has made a cover for the boat, reupholstered boat seats, interior for the airplane, and also fixed my shirts, pants and swim suits! What a great guy, a jack of all trades I guess you could say!

Bail Out Bucks

One of the other judges also has a Woodstock revival band and they do a Bail Out Tour. He gave this to me for advertising!

I Almost Forgot

The best part of the Nevada Wild West Fair....as I am walking through the carnival area where all the rides are I heard one carnie say to another carnie, both of them were operating the rides...so do you like this better than being in the joint? REALLY?

Wild West Fair Part 2

So the reason I was at the fair was to judge the Colgate Country Showdown. It's basically a talent show for country singers and bands. My friend Lizzie's friend Angel runs the whole thing and needed judges so there I was. (I did it for the funnel cake and corn dog, but the food was closed by the time we were don so I got all the cool prizes you see here!) I had a lot of time to kill so I took a picture with my fellow judges - who by the way were VERY qualified, and a few pictures of Lizzie with the fair "performers". It was a fun night and can't wait to judge something again. Next time I hope I get a gong and an X to vote with...or at least my corn dog!

Wild West Fair Part 1

Okay so Nevada, being a ground breaking really cool state decided to rename THE STATE FAIR to The Wild West Fair. I don't know why but whatever. So instead of the focus being on the carnies, rides, corn dogs, 4-H - you know normal fair stuff it is now on Indians (feather not dot), gun fights (old west ones not gang ones) and caged bears. I posted a few photos you you can see what this type of fair looks like!

Eyedews At Midsummers Party

Eyedews was one of the sponsors of A Midsummer's Night Playboy Party at the Palms in Las Vegas!! It was a ton of fun and we met some really INTERESTING people! Everyone loved the Eyedews and we snapped a lot of pictures! It was a blast! If you want some Eyedews call me! (925) 348 - 0097

Where Did I Get This?

Can anyone enlighten me to where I got this shirt? I know I did not buy it! It's for sale, never worn! Any takers?

Coffee Time

This was out view this morning while we drank out coffee! Beautiful!

Clear Lake

We went to Clear Lake this week to help out one of Duane's friends. It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny. Everyone had lots of fun, but no one could breathe through their nose because of this! There was sooooo much algae it was disgusting. You couldn't even swim in the lake because it wasn't safe! Yuck!

Not as Cool as it Looks

So you maybe thinking, oh cool, Victoria gets to watch tv on the boat while Duane fishes. NO, that is NOT what I am doing. I'm looking at a camera screen at the fish at the bottom of the lake. And most of what I was was algae.

Tampon What?

It might be hard to see these because of the glare, but they're tampon holders...Really? What happened to pockets, purses and fanny packs? These are bulky too, where do you put it? In your purse? Stupid idea if you want my opinion.

I Have Some Long Days Ahead...

So Duane went to work for 3 hours tonight and guess what? He hurt his knee. Great. This is going to be fun. He insisted on putting on his own ice-bandage-wrap thingy so I insisted it was a great time to take photos. The only one happy in this situation is Gracie because she gets to lay on the couch. It's gonna be a long couple of days.

Unedited Humor

So, where to begin...I have a friend, Lizzie Keith (yes she's one of those people with two first names) she's a comedian, and she's really funny. While she's trying to make it big she's teaching aerobics at the local 24 hour fitness in Reno, anyone in her class receives their daily dose of humor, I think that's why people go to her class (well its either funny Lizzie or ever growing bigger Constellation, another instructor who keeps gaining weight). I'm telling you she is VERY funny, she makes fun of people, makes fun of herself, sings songs...you name it she does it. She is so funny one of the people in the class made her these business cards. They are hard to read on here because I have a crappy camera but this is what it says...

Not A Good Sign

I got home from the gym and this is what I saw...the motor home on a jack and the gas tank in the street. I have a feeling we're not going anywhere today.

Vapor-Lock #3

We went to pick up the motor home and we vapor-locked three more times on the way home. On the side of the road (at a stop sign), at the gas pump...apparently there is a trick - if you put gas in the tank it will cool it down and make it work again - but you need to get to the pump and about 3 miles from home. We did get the Ultra home under the cool coverage of darkness.

Wolf Pack

I was driving behind the wolf pack...there are 3 wolves in this pack.

Backyard Progress

Some of you remember Duane is rebuilding the fence in the back yard. This project started about a month ago...(he has been fishing and working a lot)

During The Drive

Because I was following Duane, he was in the motor home towing the boat and I was in my car, I had a lot of time on my hands...I flossed my teeth, plucked my eyebrows, took off my nail polish and used my EYEDEWS!!!! That's why I was so relaxed and refreshed during the whole vapor-lock situation (see below).

Shopping

Once again if you are Mina, Nv and in need of rocks or tires, you're in luck! Mina has the BEST shopping, you just have to pick through it to find what you want! Happy Hunting!

ReSale Value

Duane was getting pretty pissed about the whole vapor-locking situation. He said that's it we're getting a new one...do you think that the 1)the pink floaty covered in sliver duct tape he is using instead of an arm rest or 2)the fact that you have to drive with the cowling (engine cover - this helps keep the engine out of the living space and keeps the heat trapped in the engine and when removed makes the motor home like 150 degrees) partially open, up the resale value more?

Thirsty?

If you're ever in Mina, Nv and you get thirsty and you have no money, pull into the rest stop. They have FREE drinking water!
