Amy,
Look forward to seeing you - I want to get a group picture of the MKT workers this year, in our aprons!

Kenny,
Thanks for the sentiment, I share it! And, as a reminder, those who work in the MKT get the meal they help with for free, which helps to bring down the price of participation!

 

[poppop]

Kenny, I see no reason for this to irritate anyone and if it does then maybe they need to move on. I for one think it demonstrates what I have known since we first met, that you are a fine person who will help anybody, anytime, anywhere with no questions asked. I am proud to consider you a friend.

I want add to what Mike and Kenny said.

We try to provide decent meals with the military flavor thrown in (Chili-mac and SOS are standard Army fare).

And yes.....KP's do eat on the cuff. We are glad to have volunteers to wipe, wash and clean.

This year we have the promise of a big tent to be used as a dining facility. This is so folks can fellowship together and not have to balance a tray of food on their lap.

This year Brother Zout has volunteered to do a "Pig Jig" on Friday night......if you can't get full on one of our meals you are toteing a hollow leg.

We do need extra foldng tables and chairs if anyone has any and we need a big tarp (or cargo cover) to use as a ground cover in the mess tent.

This in a huge way. You can follow suit if you like but I'm going to Walmart, purchase 2 of the lesser expensive folding tables for the rally. I will set one up as my AO and the second one will be donated to the rally. Don't forget your chairs folks (or cooler/bucket Gimpy). Has anyone heard from Walter (green_gator)? Wonder if he is coming up?

 

[Sirblissfull]

I have half a dozen folding chairs I can donate to the rally.

I eat there most meals. When I skip meals it's usually breakfast since my cabin is 50' from the Durhamtown Chow Hall. You will not be disappointed in the eats provided my Mike, Richard and their long list of selfless volunteers. I can gain 3# after the chili mac is served.

Is Oddball delivering your shop van to you at the rally? Funny story, last year I drove my deuce up as I usually do. Came with 3 trailers, went home with one and not one of the ones I brought up. This year I'm coming with zero and going home with 1 maybe 2.

NOPE, Jennifer or Mike are flying down with me to Datona, Chris " oddball is picking us up at the airport, then off to the tag office for a temp paper plate on Tuesday, then we are going to convoy up to GA on the way home to Michigan.

We will be towing the Deuce box trailer Chris made with an Argo in the back 45-50 mpg crawl straight up I-75. I figured 2 days ride. This will be a fun ride for me. My first "recovery"with no tow bar and tools. And my 1St Southern Rally, I hear you southern boys know how to party,on the trails.

First Zout now Wreckerman, twice in one day! It ain't growin' back so go ahead and make fun of the amputee.
I guess your not pokin' fun at Gimpy so I took two for ya little buddy!
















You know I'm playin' right?

Island - I am a transplanted Yankee to WM dislike - but God decided to make be born up there instead of here - my heart is with these folks and I hate to say it but he got it wrong that time. The second I came here it was OUTSTANDING and party - you have no clue - but hand on there grasshopper we are about to initiate you. Hope you like cherries but get em before Gimp does.

That is a long ride - you folks take care and Duramtown is going nowhere and it is not a moving object where you have to force yourself to save time to get here - we will be there when you get there. You may be in a coma still a couple day afterwards but I am not to blame nor will I be held responsible for any actions outside my control.

WM will have some possum sandwich's for your ride back I am sure.

I did not understand when Oddball told me to add you to the convoy list. I did not know you where coming down! Glad to have you join our convoy. I will add you to the list.

 

[Capt.Marion]

Up until now I hadn't posted anything about coming in hopes that I wouldn't jinx myself... and that didn't work. Class schedule and other academic paraphernalia prevent me from attending this year [again].

I'm getting bored of making excuses, so, as I have said multiple years in a row now, we'll see what happens next year.

 

[islandguydon]

Thanks Phil2986, I am trying to convince AC/Cages to come convoy in the hummer and have his wife drive. See what you can do to bug him as well. I am looking forward to this,Thanks..

Is anyone bringing some Solargisers, I am looking for 4 of them......?

Island.......when yo get to Macon, GA take I-16 east and hit Hwy 129 north to Eatonton...then hit Hwy 44 north....it will take you to Greensboro....cuts off a lot of miles......it's two lane but not as unnerving as having Peterbuilts blowing by you at 80 MPH on the interstate.

 

[phil2968]

I think he means when they leave the rally Wreckerman. He's goin back to Michigan.
He is joining the Florida convoy for the trip up.

 

[SCSG-G4]

Phil

So the Peterbilt will be blowing by a bunch of green trucks?

So Phil, can we call your AO "Gimpy Hollows"?

 

[Recovry4x4]
