GL/SL Mini Meet
On Thanksgiving Day Nish and his lovely family and I had a mini meet at Ruths Chris Steakhouse in Las Vegas. Great company, great stories and great food! Here is the living proof that oknish and Nevadajack do exist...
The GL group is still the best one on the web... great people enjoying a great automobile...

And here I thought Nevada Jack was just a legend, a ghost whispered about and rarely seen. A hero wished for and needed. A stoic rock upon which the hopes and dreams of a generation rest, protecting us all from the evils and ills of a cruel world.

You are the only one of the original GL Mafia that I have not met but hopefully we can cure that after the New Year. Yosemite or sooner in Phoenix or Las Vegas...
The pic BTW is the handiwork of Nish's wife... used my 7 year old 3.2 megapixel Canon. Who needs the SLR's...

Today Phoenix became Venice. Well, it seemed like it. I was looking for double lines of animals, a guy with a big beard, an ark ...

I assume everyone there absolutely flipped out, having no idea how to drive in it?

Luckly the streets were warm and the snow did not accumulate but toward Red Rock and Mt. Charleston I hear they really got bombed. If it didn't all melt yesterday I am going to go out to the RR overlook and get some shots today.

[QUOTE=JimBarnhart;3226731]Actually where I live (hight elevation than the strip) we had rain... but the strip and some parts of LV and Henderson got hit pretty hard. Must have been a temp inversion or something since the foothills usually get the heaviest snow... not this time in Summerlin.

Good to see you both looking well! Yes, I still have the GL with almost 20k miles. Knock on wood, absolutely no issues at all and a great daily driver.

Hello, guys! I ran into L8Apex over on M6Board and I started thinking about the GL forum. I thought I'd take a look and see what's up and lo and behold, a picture of a couple of my favorite guys! Jack, I agree with your "lovely family" comment - having met them all (remember the "Rib Meet" thread?)

for modding.Next time I talk to L8Apex, I'll remind him that you owe him a 6 pack.
Tell your family Ms Boss and I said, "Hi."
