Yes, my husband's got the same thoughts about the truck, the creek... testosterone, etc..... however, he's had to tone things down, as our good friend actually sunk his Ford in the creek... made for a truly lousy weekend... Ford's don't swim at all... now that I think of it, I think that it is just now one year ago that we realized that "pricey" lesson
Karyn rescued him - well, pulled him out... everyone's heard the story before... lol

All us men folk need a little time figuring out the horsepower/testoterone effect. Add 4WD, and it can get ugly fast. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
I think i remember reading about that and have witnessed many unbelievable attempts AFTER watching some one else go under. The wife and I have always headed to the river at high tide. some times its boring, some times its priceless!!

Highs look to be in the low 80s... and the rain and thunder storms in the forecast seem to be diminishing...
However, I'm with 2B... this 100 degree crap is killing us in Fresno... Yesterday's off and on rain sprinkles between 5 - 8 p.m. were wonderful in cooling off the evening!

AWESOME WEATHER at Pismo this past weekend... couldn't have asked for better weather ... actually had fog/mist, light breezes, cool, hot, sun, clouds and one good lil' rain shower during the course of the weekend [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Yes, it was sold out - but I don't think that the crowd was that bad.
Actually went back to the drags in the back late afternoon Thursday (hmmm, or was it Friday?) and there was NO ONE THERE! Amazing... lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
Ocean was warm enough to play in - [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Creek was nearly none existant. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
High tide wasn't bad. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
Everyone was getting their truck & trailers stuck going up sand highway - lol - really, really stuck! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]
We left late afternoon Sunday and the beach was really clearing out nicely... sure wish we could have stayed to avoid this miserable Fresno heat!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
