WOW Lloyd, I'm glad you are OK. That could have ended very badly!

This seems to be the year for tire troubles and the GA rally. First a member (sorry, I don't remember his user ID) had broken wheel studs on his 109 in KY. We thought it was a bad bearing from the description at first, but found out later it was the studs. Then Ron tries to take his M819 offroading unexpectedly at 60 MPH. Thank goodness he is OK. And now you have this happen.

I'm glad you're OK.

Wow Lloyd! Glad your ok and he was not a law man trying to give you trouble. Order two new tires and maybe a new set of Fruit of the Looms! lol.. Good thing it was a 5 ton in front the M109 might have won that battle with another deuce in front and no power steering.. Glad your home safe and I really wish I could have made it down.. Missed another one...

Thanks Lane. Start making plans now for next year, it would be great to see you again.

I have been forwarding this GA rally post to my ODD Yankee friends.. We have some changes in the works for our Fall trail ride so it should not conflict with the GA rally next year. Freeing us up so we just might make the trip. I need to talk my trucker friend into buying a over the road tractor and trailer so we can just load up some M37's and CUCV's and come down. I don't think I could survive a trip that far in a deuce or 5 ton ! You would have to plant me in that red clay after the Rally!

Time to put in for vacation for next year!

 

[Speddmon]

OH boy, from the looks of it that will NOT interfere with my scheduled hunting trip...looks like another trip to GA might be in my future. I'll have to look at schedules since I only have enough vacation for the hunting trip. Maybe I can make it down for a day or two on a "weekend" off.

Besides, Gimpy proved that the deer are all sorts of antsy to commit suicide on the side end of a MV, rather than face hunters....

Though next year, he needs to take Bambi recovery straps to load it!

He must have clipped it with the training wheel stabilizer leg! I can see it now a fresh bambi sprawled out on the MKT ready for the smoker!

That was my hardest laugh of the whole rally watching Gimpster and Doghead trying to sling that deer in the back of the goosechase truck. The next morning as Mike and I were headed to the lodge, we did find a deer cleaning station. Seems that the Durhamtown crew has thought of everything.

I left the rally sometime around 10:00 PM Saturday night and drove the Deuce home in the dark. The 130 mile trip back was uneventful, but my luck changed Sunday evening at dusk. While unloading 5 deuce wheels and mounted tires I picked up at the rally, I had an accident. I was using my John Deere 5520 with a fork attachment to move the tires/wheels from the Deuce to my 105 trailer for temporary storage. While standing on the forks with one wheel, the forks shifted. I slipped and fell about five feet and landed on my back. The wheel also fell off, bounced once, and landed on top of me. I was knocked out around 15 minutes. I've been out of commission since with a very sore back and severe headaches. Serves me right for trying to do the job under poor conditions.

Fantastick Rally!

Sorry to hear you had an accident. Glad you are OK, it could have been a lot worse. Take it easy and maybe see a Doctor about the headachs.

 

[Speddmon]

Gary,

It was a pleasure meeting you, and I am truly sorry to hear about your accident. Take it easy and get better. As Lloyd said, see a Dr. about the headaches. We want you healthy and active for the rally next year.

I enjoyed talking with you as well. I love GenSets and could talk about them all day. I hope your trip back to Ohio went well. See you next year.

Guys,

I have 8 of the 2010 Ga Rally t-shirts left over that Papabear and the CAMO crew made for us. I only have Large, all other sizes sold out.

They are $15, + shipping. I am going to estimate shipping will be $4 to most US members.

100% of the proceeds, minus shipping, will go into the food fund for next year. We sold enough shirts at the rally for Papabear to break even and the rally to make a little money. So these last 8 shirts are 100% profit, which will all go towards food next year.

First come, first serve basis, please PM for me payment and shipping details.

Please buy these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: I think I just sold the last one to CitizenSoldier-you guys hold off on sending me any pm's-if a buyer backs out and more shirts become available, I will post an update. Thanks!

I'm a little nervous but i think i will be OK. My supervisor said he is being brought up on i think it was 15 charges. Ill let you all know what happen.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Keep that composure Tigger. It's real hard to be straight in court but it's the one place you need to be. BTW, it was a pleasure to meet you at the rally and thanks for the uber help at the MKT.
