Title: Back in Laughlin Nevada again
Post by: H20thueson on August 07, 2013, 06:40:22 AM
   Back in Laughlin ! I've been going a little crazy since I picked up my 90' volante.
Seems I can't go more than a few weeks and I'm back up here skiing.
Seems like most of you are back east ( every one is from me ) I always look forward to seeing the pics of your local lakes. For those of you that don't know Laughlin , it's like Vegas only right on the Colorado river. Just about 10 minutes away is lake Mohave .
We stay at the casinos at nite and ski all day. Some day maybe next year we will get back there to ski some of your beautiful lakes. Maybe next reunion! But till then it's 5 am and I'm gonna drop my boat in.

Nice!

I'm hitting up one of my favorites this weekend...no casino's mind you, but it should be fun!

(Pics or it didn't happen!)

Just got back from Laughlin Sunday afternoon. Got some pics. One I hope to get to Ron to see if he has the decals for the sides. Great little trip. Hope to get the pics up soon. But for now need to get back to work and make some more fun tickets!

Hey daximus how was your trip. Any pics ? I'd love to see them. Like to see the lakes you go to. I have pics on both my I phone and a camera. Any tips to a total computer illiterate  on how to post them?

There are two ways to do pictures.

One is to use another website to host them (imageshack or something) then paste the link to them using the [img*][/img*] (minus the *). You have to upload them to the other site, once uploaded they normally provide you with a link for this sort of thing.

The other way (the way I do it) is to attach them directly to this site. To do this, first I re-size them (use Office, MS paint, or any other photo program). I put them to 800x600 as this seems to fit the forum well. Once re-sized hit the "Attachment and other options" link below the dialog box (the box you type messages into). You will see a "choose file" button...hit that, find your picture, and there you go. With this method they show up as small pictures that people can click on to see bigger. 

There might be other ways...but that's how I do it. Speaking of, here are a couple of pictures from my last outing. They aren't great, but I never remember my camera when something fun is happening, haha.

My trip was great, the weather wasn't awesome...but still I had a great time. A bad day at the lake is better than the best day at work.  8)


Here is a crappy video...about 7am right in the middle of the lake. Nothing to see really, but it's the lake I was at.  HPIM3575 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQnk3f7O1t0#)

And some random pictures. Picture of my friends boat off in the distance pulling, another friend of mine getting way outside the wake, picture of me being happy that the boat still floats after I put it together, and finally a shot of it bobbing around in our "party cove" (it was a little early in the cove for shenanigans).

Looks awesome,
  Thanks for the info on posting my pictures. I'll try it tonight. The suns out this morning here at the beach ( it's been overcast for some time we call it June gloom lasts till mid September ) lol. Any way gonna grab the wife and the standup paddle boards. Thinking a nice long paddle is in order.
Wanted to thank you before I took off
