Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?Are we there yet?

You know y'all are CRUEL. We need to change the date of the rally up by two-three weeks, so I'll only be 7 months pregnant! Seriously, it'll be here THAT much sooner!

"Is there a good hospital within 30 minutes of site? You're High Risk. Don't travel where you're out of range of a good emergency room. Doesn't matter if Tigger can catch for a normal birth, because the hospital's for if something is going wrong." Grumble.

We'll see. I may still sneak over to the Rally for a visit, since my sister lives close... Though I'm told I shouldn't visit her either.

How is everything going Monica! Happy and healthy so far? Best wishes on a happy healthy little one! And a quick delivery when its time! ( my sister did 9hours) Would love to see you there but you have a good excuse if your not! God bless.

Monica - If I can get the M43 ambulance done it will be there operational - now wouldn;t that be cool . Complete with operational surgical light and medical equipment. If you can get the baby to come out on its side - Gimp can deliver it as he recognizes the angle

This is hopefully what the end results will be if I can get off my lazy butt and get some work done on it.

There will be plenty of steril solution around as well.

The baby is fine. Textbook, despite all the risks I keep being told about. And stubborn. It keeps wiggling out of focus on the poor sonogram techs.

My mom was in the hospital 15 minutes before my sister was born, 28 minutes before I was born. I'm hoping I follow her lead, but that does make hospital proximity a little more needful.

Of course we will have to make sure he or she is dressed for the rally!

Since we are dreaming ahead, is anyone of our fearless members bringing lifting equipment? I will likely be swapping beds with another member. At my age I can't remember who is bringing what.

Grand Master Clinto has tasked the CAMO crew to bring BFR's crane thingy at minimum and maybe even an M816.
The 816 has not left the compound in over 4 years except to play in the industrial park so she is REALLY wanting to go!
In short...yes...lift capability will be there.

Ummm...the M816 WILL NOT go off road however (trail recoveries etc).

 

[Recovry4x4]

Thank you Mr Papabear. I will be certain to bring fresh diesel in exchange for lifting duties.

I see the glimpse of the GA Rally 2011 around the bend and down the street
anyone else "need" it badly ?

 

[neilhendrix]

I can hardly wait

 

[EMD567]

The M814 "Long Easy" has been refueled from the 1200 roundtrip to Haspin, and is ready and waiting for the Ga Rally. Hopefully, an M37 will be acquired by then for Mrs EMD to ride/drive the trails on.

least ye forget

 

[tigger]

I still have a lot to do on my jeep, but I'm sure i can get it ready by then. would be nice if gas price would go down by then. Not going to get good mileage dragging my jeep on trailer behind me!

Headed into a Holiday weekend with a few days off - Reminds me of going to the Ga Rally - hey speaking of the Ga Rally.
Might have to hunt for some medical stuff for the 43 if anyone is considering in the future to bring some.

Dave, I've got several nice stretchers, I even think one is dated 1962.
