Second Bi-Annual TX MV Rally

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

USAFSS-ColdWarrior, you sure you don't wanna make that drive?

LOL- I would LOVE to... However, I have a few factors working against me at the moment....
1. Clutch linkage failure on the Deuce (working on a replacement part from another SS Member).
2. Just changed jobs (now an independent agent/self employed, but still in the funeral pre-arrangement business) and need to get the cash flow stabilized.
3. Time is fast approaching and I'd need just a bit more to be confident that the ARK would make the longer trip.

Hope all y'all have a wunnerful time !

You act like a 12 hour drive in a deuce is a big deal. LOL!

It's no act - I'm a glutton for punishment

Besides.... it wouldn't be JUST a 12-hour drive.... It would be an ADVENTURE

I'm sure looking forward to the cool weather!

 

[nofearnohope]

In March the temp at night got down to around 40 degrees.

 

[OPCOM]

40? - that's nice warm T-shirt weather!

 

[reloader64]

But it feels so good to wrap up in that sleeping bag at night!

Who's doing the BBQ for this "Wing-Ding"?

And if it gets that cold, "40", I guess I'll have to bring my poncho liner for warmth....

 

[nofearnohope]

Who's doing the BBQ for this "Wing-Ding"?

A local company named C&Js. This is the same place we met back in March.

I'm heading to 54Reo's in a couple weeks to swap the 16.00x20's for 11.00x20's. The truck is too light for those big tires on the highway. Offroad they would be the grail, but 99% of what I do is on pavement at 40MPH or better. ass-u-me ing this works out, I'll bring the beast out. Yall say a prayer all goes well. I have a co-driver volunteered also, my friend Jack, who was at the TX-OK-AR rally a few years ago. IIRC he cooked up some really good chow so if a hand is needed in that area..

Guys i'm not sure that i will be able to make it... i just started college for the first time and well... it's been a shock to my mind and body. I'll keep you all informed as time progresses. If i do come I will definitely have my buddy Eli with me. he's the guy with the wheelchair. I talked to him and he said "if there is a will there is a way" If possibly one would be willing to help me "toss" him into my truck that would be huge. If not... well i have ratchet straps. I'm certain we can make it work with him as he's surprisingly self sufficient.

I'm going to see how the next week or so goes with school and update then.

Other side is that my rear dif on the m1009 has been acting strange. I fear the Gov-bomb may be striking. I'm going to pull the cover this weekend and hopefully not cry.

Bottom line. I'll be in touch and thanks for the info and support with everything.

 

[fuzzytoaster]

No excuses Mud... Im in college too.

 

[nofearnohope]

Mudstone, show up if you can, but remember that your education comes first.
As far as your friend is concerned, we will all do everything we can to make him feel welcome and comfortable.

Hay check this out. Maverick1701 pulled up in my driveway yesterday. Hew was driving by and saw my trucks and just stopped in by chance. He almost got himself shot but I'll let him tell you about that but in the end I was very glad he stopped and hope he stopped by next time he is out my way. He is the first person I have ever met in person from SS and that is kind of cool, ( and to think I almost shot him, it would have been a tragedy ) that is until I get to the Rally but now I am looking forward to it even more and Maverick1701 is coming also so I think that will be at lest 3 of us caravanning down to Bryan together unless we can gather more. FYI everyone we are coming from the Texas panhandle. Amarillo is in the center of the big square at the top of Texas for those like myself that are geographically challenged. PS we need a smiley face with a GUN!
