Alas, I am at sea until sometime in May...... All, please raise one for me and know I am there in spirit and I promise to have a grumpy attitude the entire weekend...... However, I will be spending the time with a couple of these guys.....

Well after adjusting my brakes, I can now stop properly. So looks like I will make it in a MV :)

Of course now the blinkers don't work. Hopefully the blinker control in my other deuce works so I can swap it out.

Things I need for the rally if anybody has them post up or pm with a price.
4 brake pads for a deuce, need to do whole front axle.
1 left hand thread INNER lug nut.
Maybe a blinker box :)
Some standard deuce tubes.
7 tubes for 395s, and flaps.
1 bow corner.

I probably need more stuff, it's late and I'm tired.

I have some big ammo boxes to trade or sell, the brown ones for mortars.

Night :)

i think we will leave west tennessee on thursday morning and its about a 7 hour drive so i guess we will be around about dinner. we are kinda expecting to make a walmart run for all the leftover stuff that will still be needed. This is going to be awesome. This is much more fun than watching the floodwater get closer and closer to the house.

Alternator swapped, it works.
Blinker box swapped, they work.
Now just gotta fix the blinker handle, it fell off the column.
Might fix the wipers.

I hope I have time to cook the beans... :)

well coelkhunter did the "boo hoo my wife might miss me" thing....... sissy :mrgreen:

my son and i are still going but will have to leave friday morning due to unrelated silliness at the house. having to help someone move. Im coming down in the m1009 but i probably wont be wheeling it so we will have to jump in with others if thats okay.

I have the m35a2 bow corner and will be bringing it with me. we should be arriving around 3 oclock ish and im coming straight down the I-55 from memphis. If anyone along or close to the route has problems call me at 731-234-5135

Things are already looking good Tim. Gonna be a bigger one this year.
Glad you wife stopped me from driving through the front yard.
Sewer lines...who would've thunk it. :doh:
