Family should always be first . there is a time for joking and bashing that we all like to do ,but when it has to do with family or personal proplems everyone (hopefully) will understand

it happens all the time, this type of activity should always come in behind of other important issues. be nice to wheel with you again later though, it looks like i am bringing MY JEEP to this big dogs event. i tried and tried and the buggy project won this round. i had it running today to see how hot it would get and it blew an oil cooler line, there was so much rust on this thing, i really need to finish putting all new stuff on it. at that point i did some small fixes to the jeep and decided to take that. maybee someone down there will buy it later ( FOR SALE $3400.00)

i know how you feel Von, its one thing after another. Sides I think you'll have alot more fun with your jeep because this way you won't always be worring about what little issue is going to pop up next. Trust me I know its taken me three runs to get most of the bugs out of mine. i'm cutting it a little close also, 3 days out and it wont even run at the moment and the exo cage is diasembled.

well more bad news, mandy won't be able to come down till fri afternoon/evening because of work. So it looks like I will be heading down thur and sleeping in the truck for that night as long as I got the jeep up and running.

i think you are right, i will run the buggy on a sunday at rausch to check it out, maybee in october. i hope you get yours done for bigdogs

joe I have off thursday if you need a hand throwing that stuff together let me know.

Hope all is well nester...you'll make it one of these days!!

And joe...who is gonna be your babysitter...this could be trouble!!!!! Glad i'll be there thursday night!

I think nicki will look out for mandy and keep joe in line

she is going to have her hands full with us four kids

hahahaha...i think she'll just go to sleep...that's normally what she does when it comes down to dealing with me and my friends at home

Matt i may need to take you up on that offer I guess it dependes on what I get done the next few days. Good thing is though I got the fuel cell installed and the jeep is running also got all the wires ran and hooked up except for the rock lights which I need to mount the brackets to the skid plate.

hmmmmm with 2 days left that list sucks

where do you want to camp? same place near the trees? I may be early on thursday around 6ish.

If camp 6 is not open, same place I would think, but it doesn't matter to me. joe what time do you want me to come over. Going to try and get everything packed and loaded tonight

yah...i'm excited

and i agree on the camping...that strange place we had last time actually ended up being pretty nice since it was our own area

I'll shoot for camp 6 near the mud pits since Von is bringing the white rhino.
