[TMNT]

Ron, I got your message earlier about the event being postponed for weather. Let us know when they reschedule.

I talked to all three members that would be coming, for anybody else thinking of taking part, the event has been postponed due to weather (rain, rain, rain), they are goung to try for Sunday, May 19, If the wreather is bad for that date there is a good chance the date will be bumped back again, I will keep everybody informed on what is going on,

With all this rain Ron you are going to have to mow your grass that day and won't be able to make the event

With all this rain Ron you are going to have to mow your grass that day and won't be able to make the event

MY grass went ALL last year without a mower (neighbor felt sorry for me and cut it 2 or 3 times) so missing a chance to mow it this year will not bother me in the least, if need be, I'll park EVERYTHING (2 wreckers, 2 trailers, my pu, daughters car, a cucv) on the front yard, as the grass dies under them move them to new spots, less ware and tear on the mower.

Love droughts, grass does not seem to, the bad thing about rain is that you can't work in it and grass seems to REALLY like it, in fact showing it's love by growing a inch a rain day

Since it got moved I can make it, I'll be bringing the Deuce

 

[clinto]

No way I can make it, I am so far behind on projects with all this rain.

Hey troops. I just talked to brother Ron and he is laid up in the hospital. Seems like he tried to ride a 4wheeler and got hurt. Should of stuck with the big toyz Ron. He seems to be ok but may not make it to this event. I am going to gainesville hospital tuesday to check on him. Stubborn guy wants someone to carry on this event even though he cant. What do you say brothers. CAN WE MAKE IT? My truck is broke down but i am catching a rYde with Mr. Taylor and im sure TMNT will be there. can always count on that guy. Lets keep this event alive and make Ron proud. All he does is try to help everybody else, so lets help him.... WHO'S WITH ME????????????????

 

[TMNT]

I think we should stick with Ron's original plan to meet at J&J Foods at 10:30 Sunday morning. Look a few posts back for the details on how to get there.

I'll call the Gainesville Parks department tomorrow for confirmation that the event will still be held on the 19th. Unless something goes wildly wrong for me this week, I'll be there with my truck.

I just spoke to the nice people at the Hall County Animal Shelter, and the Touch a Truck event is confirmed for Sunday, May 19 from noon 'till 4:00.

The location is Laurel Park off of Brown's Bridge Rd. I'll find a map and post it, but if you look a few posts back you'll see Ron's original plan to meet at J&J Foods and the convoy in together. It always looks cooler to arrive in convoy, although I'm hoping I'm not a convoy of one! If you can make it for Sunday afternoon, lets do something to help out the animal shelter and put on a good show in Ron's honor. Maybe it will inspire him to quit milking those little scratches he's got and get back back on his feet!

Ron's original directions with a couple of enhancements:

To get to J&Js
coming up 985N take exit 24 (Hwy 129, Jesse Jewell Parkway)
turn LEFT
at the forth light (0.6 miles), take a RIGHT (Limestone parkway)
Go 1.4 miles north, look for advance auto parts on the right, just after advance (a few stores up) is J&J foods, turn into the parking lot.

From J&J Foods to Laurel Park:

Go 2.75 miles north on Highway 129 (becomes Cleveland Highway)
Turn RIGHT on New Bridge
Turn RIGHT on Couch Cir
Turn LEFT on Old Cleveland Rd
Turn LEFT on Laurel Park Rd

I don't know exactly where in the park, but there is a large parking lot near the entrance on the right and I would expect it to be held there. If not, continue on down Laurel Park Rd and there are more parking lots near the end of the road.

As Ron said, we need to be at the park at 11:30. The event runs from 12:00 noon to 4:00pm. I'd like to rally up at J&J, and then roll out from there at 11:15 sharp.

My number is 770-231-5231. I stay on the phone a lot, so I may be more responsive to a text message. Thanks and I hope to see you there.

Maybe this helps a little.

I talked to the folks at the Hall County Animal Shelter this afternoon and the event is still on for Sunday. There is a 40% chance of showers, but they have not cancelled the Touch a Truck event.

They have my number and promised to call if anything changed.

If you can make it, I'm still planning to be at J&J Foods about 10:30 Sunday morning. Lets meet up there.

Dangeroustyz, are you still riding with me?

 

[TMNT]

Cindy, with the Hall County Animal Shelter is going to meet us at J&J Foods in the morning. If you're thinking about doing this, come on out. I'm hoping to see a lot of trucks and we'll have a good time, rain or shine.

 

[TMNT]

Well, I just got the message from Cindy that the event is cancelled due to the weather.

 

[olewhiskey]

Dang this event is jinxed.

 

[taylordc15]

Have my truck torn apart doing a power steering install so it will probably go this weekend

 

[TMNT]

I scrambled around Saturday to get my seats back in. I took my wife to see the Alabama concert on Saturday night, but still crawled out of bed at 6:00 Sunday morning to get my truck washed (in the rain), rousted my son out of bed so we'd have time to stop for breakfast, and had the truck warming up when Cindy said they had decided to postpone it yet again.

Other folks gave bigger problems for sure, but I'm looking forward to not doing a dang thing this weekend.
