I keep warning him.
I am trying to barter with him, he is going to opening fishing weekend next week, and I told him that I should have the festival for the girls..NO WAY, he wants to be there to "watch over me". Hmm gotta remember to bring the Soma and Norco!!

whoa whoa whoa let the man fish.
Kymery
04-16-2008, 01:01 PM
NO..you got it wrong. I AM SENDING HIM FISHING...and they do it every year, i love to fish also, (hmmm maybe I am not a little blonde girl) Ok, back to reality, I just thought I could sweet talk the trade, since he is fishing with the guys, then I go party with the girls.
But, all I got was an OK for the Norco Rodeo this weekend instead. Better than nothing I guess.
Any girls wanna go to the norco rodeo and dance?
hodgee5
04-16-2008, 01:04 PM
O alright, I was about to say, I fish 2-3 times a week. (no offense to you but) that will be the day when a girl tells me I cant go fishing. I seem to remember a song.. whats it called... o ya, "Im gunna miss her" by brad paisley
Kymery
04-16-2008, 01:06 PM
Saylaveeee....
I love to fish also, but not every minute of my life. I LOVE to dance and I will say pretty darn good at it, and he has two left feet, so I cant do what I love.

NO..you got it wrong. I AM SENDING HIM FISHING...and they do it every year, i love to fish also, (hmmm maybe I am not a little blonde girl) Ok, back to reality, I just thought I could sweet talk the trade, since he is fishing with the guys, then I go party with the girls.
But, all I got was an OK for the Norco Rodeo this weekend instead. Better than nothing I guess.
Any girls wanna go to the norco rodeo and dance?
kymery... norco....that's this weekend??? I may be interested!!

YES this weekend, tickets sell very fast. If you are interested I can pick up the tickets. I want to go Saturday for sure. I like to go to the dance afterwards, but it will be more fun at the Saddle Sore. Sometimes I even skip the rodeo and just stay at the Saddle sore, it gets packed and I know the band...they are great and do great Chris Ledoux covers!

google Norco horseweek 2008.
I tried to find a page on just the rodeo, but the whole week is so involved. Norco does this every year. It is a blast to go to a rodeo in the Horse Capital of the World and dance your arses off.

Hey all! Much like everyone else, I'm stoked and cannot wait for Stagecoach! Less than a week!
There's for sure two of us girls in Forum, possibly a third. Depending on the 3rd girl also depends on when we'll arrive. Early on Fri if she can make it, otherwise late on Thurs. I'm hoping (!!!) people are super nice and can help up pitch our tent late at night in the dark! We're rookies!
Can't wait to meet everyone!

So I am going to sound like such a total dork for saying this but it is a REALLY good idea to set your tent up in your yard BEFORE you leave. That way you learn how to set it up right AND you can be sure you have all the pieces. Makes a HUGE difference!!! (even the cutest, most helpful cowboys can't make tent poles magically appear!! ummm wait, that didn't come out right!LOL!!)Sorry to sound like such a "mom" but that has saved me many a time!! I am going to be tenting it solo in the Forum as well and let me say you are in for a GOODTIME!!! :D WELCOME!!!:D
Good advice- will probably save a lot of time and aggrevation.
Honkytonk....I think you just said it all.

you know that is funny, I have a $50k rig and I had to buy a $100 tent for boys to camp/fish this weekend, and he tells me when I brought it home "soooo I think I am gonna set it up so I know how when I get there"..WHATTT?? ok..it will NEVER fit back in that box, and you wont remember anyway when you get there. It isnt that hard...everyone will be doing it..just grab a beer/drink and start staking!! you will be fine.

I did that. I don't have a yard so I moved the kitchen table over and wouldn't let anyone help me. I mean, I won't have anyone but my daughter with me, so I had to know I had all the part and pieces and could do it myself.
My Dad was there and kept trying to talk. I kept going "Hush!" It was funny. But I did it.

Hey, maybe you should sleep in it for a night to see if it is ok? You know, just to be sure and all.

Don't let my daughter see that post! She has been begging to use the tent since I got it. I keep asking where, in the living room?

I'm not going to ask. Nope.
My daughter saw that post. She gave me a very good argument for it. All about how we could set up the tent on the patio, and the chairs and cooler and make sure our campground would work before we get there. (Like that's going to happen!)
My response: That was a very well thought out argument. No.
Hers: You suck.
