Been home since 1530. No major problems, Just have a air leak in the fuel line, and Ferro had a brake chamber failure. Fixed the brake problem, and lived with the air leak.:mrgreen::jumpin:
Awww, thats so sweet. Ferro and his pig........ I hate work. I could be there already. The Long Easy is ready, I have the food packed, I'm packed, the wife is almost packed. Now I just need to get through 10 hours of work, a haircut, and a 2 hour drive.......sigh. :jumpin::mrgreen:
Ferro and crew passed my local area at 1130 this morning. Should be on site at this time(1419).
EMD AND EMD's wife plan to pull out 0900 Thursday, arrival at durhamtown 1100 hours.
Lets see. Tigger, me(EMD567) and WM all have big truck backing experience that I know of. I would say Ferro also, but I watched him back the other day, and I almost took his license away...........
We can contain the scouts on the back of the 814- just need to erect some sides.
I may have a friend and his son come over Saturday, to look around and maybe go for a ride in the woods.
BUT
THERE ARE 10 MORE DAYS TO MAKE PLANS
Took the M814 out for a 2 day, 250 mile shake down cruise. Everything looks great, except for the empty fuel tank:(. Gonna toss the pig wood in the back, double check the tool boxes for supplies, set up the tent to check it out, and I think I will be...
Zout- that corner of the pasture will be hopping...... Ferro and I are setting up near Neils mobile hooch. I am bringing a tent, as the boss says she is coming, and wants to learn how to drive the 814.....I will have to find a BIG field for her to do that.
Can't be worse then the showers at Haspin. That was bad. Speaking about Haspin- are we gonna have porta potties onsite? Or are we going be making the 100 yard dash to the shower house, like at Haspin? Only to find the place locked up tight:shock:
No, you are gonna fall off something and bark up your shins like Haspin. THen Neil and I will have to baby you the rest of the week..................:mrgreen::jumpin:
Since Ferro will be the 1st one there, maybe we can task him with spreading the fire ant killer. After all, he will need something to keep him busy till the rest of us get there.
I will arrive Thursday from SC. You will know it's me, as I will have the longest 5 ton cargo truck...
I am planning on being there Thursday afternoon with M814 "Long Easy". We can have square dancing in the bed, or show a movie. Don't know yet whether mrs EMD is coming, if not, I'll bunk under the 814, or with Ferro, or someplace.
Ferro, save me a spot for the 814 next to you and Neil...
