Okay.
M814 loaded, hooch loaded, fuel tank full, all fluids checked. Guys, I am rolling west towards Durhamtown............. SEE YA!!!!!!!!!!

So, The hood and front grill are already there, but the tailgate is still in Aiken?

I have no clue when I might arrive. MKT m109 pantry truck is down. Replaced entire injection pump and it looks like the hydraulic head is bad... so we are digging through a pile of Mike's spares to find a new head. For reference imagine the warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost arc...

Why do I always wind up working on a deuce at GA rally time?!?

Does it need to be towed into the rally again this year?

I hope not...

I am half tempted to tow it myself just so I don't have to change the IP... AGAIN

Took my first steps without crutches today and I'm making great progress. 1st metatarsal fractures normally take 6-8 weeks to get better from. Sunday will be 4 weeks since the mishap and I'm on it! X-Ray yesterday looked good and the doctor told me I'm "structurally sound" in the foot. A little soft tissue pain but it'll never heal if I stay completely off of it. I passed my better half's test of getting in and out of the M923. I'm coming and getting ready to see everyone again!

Hope to come in on Tuesday as usual and pick out a spot, to set up my Tents. Then Hopefully will be back on Wednesday after School, if not then I will for sure be there on Thursday. If anyone needs any last minute supplies, or necessities, let me know I can pick up for you on one of my trips back and forth. My home is only 50 minutes away so its not an issue for me to stop by a store! Already have my trailer nearly packed!

I cant wait to get away from my Store for a few days!
I think im going to post this picture on both online stores! :0)

There is no one at the rally site. Pics or it didn't happen.

Very true...

Gimp, send us an 8x10 glossy and we can put it at the reception tent.

Trying to scare away people too?

Well that settles it, if neither you, Gimpy or SWB are not attending than I'm not going. Actually I have too many personal commitments here to take the time off to go. I am really bummed, but the home needs a new roof and winter is on the way.

As of now, the Pantry M109 is running. Still have to replace the J pipe, air up a slow leak, and fab a bracket in the cab for the transfer case lever. All on the list for Monday. Then I can get it home and start loading the perishable groceries for an early morning Wednesday departure. Don't feel too sorry for Ferro - he wound up with an LDS IP out of swapping the stuff around (yes, it needs some work on it, it was the one in the 109 that was making oil).

.... and fab a bracket in the cab for the transfer case lever...

That almost sounds to me like a T-case jumping out of gear? Should we start scavenging parts?
