I'm actually working towards leaving this evening to head down, which would put me there a little earlier than expected. Trying to have the full day Friday to enjoy before it rains on Saturday. Looking forward to it!
Man I hate that. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Friday will mark 2 weeks since my second shot, so fingers crossed here. I plan to be there Friday around lunchtime.
That is to say, that if you guys are interested in doing that, feel free to coordinate something. The whole weekend is pretty casual for us. You could probably get a few folks to go.
We did a few years ago, a small group of us. Most of the trails at Uwharrie are tight for a big MV, but there are a couple that the smaller ones can navigate. It will just depend on who gets motivated to go.
I'll take the copper ground rod. Probably interested in a shackle or two depending on what you have in there and what others snatch up before I find you :-).
Late to the party here, but I'm also interested in a snatch block. If the other deals fall through I'll call thirds, ha ha. I already have a huge one that Coffey has spoken for, so I am looking for something a little smaller.

Hmm, tempted to just leave my belt as is for now. It's not cracked, but it's at least 5 years old at this point. Link me to your thread if you have it handy? I'll keep digging through search results if not.
Ah OK, good to know the cheap aftermarket variety will not work. I haven't taken mine off yet, but I see it has two numbers on the back housing: one for "with hole" and one for "without hole." I'm wondering if that is the difference. I can't read the numbers without taking it off. Yours is...
I recently used my truck to pull an equipment trailer and tractor on a couple hour trip. On the way back I stopped and noticed it was dripping coolant. Bought some at the gas station and filled the overflow tank between the sight glasses. Within the next 2 hours it had leaked all of that out...
We are all hoping that things take a turn for the better very soon, but a lot of predictions are not showing that to be the case. Even those that could attend will be thinking hard about whether they will. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for now. I'd almost rather Jim go ahead and reschedule...
OK I'll take them both. Looks like you have two? The show date looks questionable right now, but if you still have them whenever the show happens, I'll take em!
