LAUGHLIN MEET-UP
WE SPENT THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS UP-RIVER AT LAUGHLIN WITH OUR SUMMER CAMP NEIGHBORS FROM “THE MOUNTAIN”. I’D GUESS THERE WERE 60 – 75 OF US IN THE GROUP.
WE STARTED WITH A COCKTAIL HOUR AT THE AQUARIUS CASINO, THEN DINNER AT THE OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE. THE NEXT DAY WAS A LUNCHEON AT CASA SARRONOS.
EIGHT OF US WENT TO A BUDDY HOLLY IMPERSONATOR SHOW AT THE RIVERSIDE. WE WERE UP EARLY FOR A MORNING HIKE WITH HUNTERS.
THE WHOLE TRIP WAS VERY FUN AND POSITIVE. AS YOU KNOW FROM A PAST POST THE LOCAL HOSPITAL HAS PURCHASED THE PROPERTY THAT OUR RV PARK SITS ON AND WE ONLY HAVE A COUPLE YEARS TO MOVE ON. WE ARE ALL IN THAT SAME SINKING BOAT, BUT YET NEW PLANS WERE MADE FOR NEW ACTIVITIES NEXT SUMMER. VERY FEW HAVE PLANS TO MOVE ON FOR THE NEXT TWO SUMMERS, AND EVERYBODY IS COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TILL MAY 1ST, ESPECIALLY MARY!!!

Fixing Snowmobiles, The Sequel
By Uncle Hans
Here is a sequel to the last "fixing snowmobiles" blog. The guys were out with the sled with the new wear rods , when they tried to cross the railroad tracks. One must stay on the trail here. as if you hit the steel rails off the trail, this happens......
......so. it is back to the shop. Of course the Swiss don't just replace the damaged $30.00 part, they straighten it and put it back on........
......there! straight and good as new...almost...

NASCAR VEGAS
UNCLE NEIL AND HIS FRIEND BIG MIKE ARE IN LAS VEGAS FOR THE NASCAR RACE, SO I TOOK A RUN UP TO THE CITY TO HAVE ONE COLD BEER WITH HIM. YA, RIGHT !!!
WE HIT WESTGATE TO MAKE THE PROPER BETS AT THE SPORTS BOOK AND THEN TOOK THE MONORAIL TO THE NEW LING DISTRICT.
THIS IS THE NEW ATTRACTION, THE “HIGH ROLLER”. WE SKIPPED THE RIDE, WITHOUT A BARTENDER AND BATHROOM WHAT’S THE POINT?
WE FOUND THIS BAR IN THE LING DISTRICT.
YOU’RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE IT, IN THE LAND OF $8 BUD LIGHTS THEY HAD THE BEAST AND OLE’S FOR $2/CAN.
NEIL REPORTS THAT EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OLYMPIA BEER STILLS TASTES LIKE CRAP.
WE WALKED ABOUT ON THE STRIP A LITTLE AND THEN TOOK A CAB DOWNTOWN TO FREEMONT STREET.
25 HOURS TO GO HAVE ONE COLD BEER WITH UNCLE NEIL. ENJOY THE RACE GUYS!

Surgery Clinic Of Spooner Botox & Juvederm
By Uncle Hans
For the last 6 weeks we have been remodeling the guest house for our new business, a Botox and filler injection business for cosmetic purposed. Long story, but we bought it from a colleague of mine who has run it successfully for 7 years. It starts March first. We decided to do it in the guest house (now called the clinic), rather than lease and renovate space in town. Jason did the carpentry, and we did the painting, staining, and decorating. Lots of work.......
.......We had to buy and assemble new furniture, buy hardware and software (Square) to manage credit card transactions, rearrange our phone services (voicemail, etc), set up an appointment book system (Renee is the Vice-President and receptionist) and 1000 other details……..
Wish us luck!!
