Good and comforting words Clinto. Thanks. Sure makes sense to me. "Stay away from the power and water!" Got it. You might have just saved this old back of mine.

By the way, do you know if there are any spots left with power and water that I can pay for? Not sure how to check on that.

No problem if there is not, but thought it might be nice if there is. Always happy to pay for services and I'll need some water to boil some peanuts.

Angus, you can pull some water from my spot - B10.

Clinto - do you have the approximate size of the camping spots?

Ok, Deuce is back on for the trip. Brakes are stronger than they ever have been after installing new MC and Air pack. And yes, I do know what the trap door on the driver's side floor of the cab is for On to checking the rear axle breathers, oil levels and an afternoon with the grease gun!!! I had some help today, look through the pics, we're getting ready.

3D Angus, what you see is what you get concerning the Air Pack. I put the plastic plugs in all the holes and it's safe in my shed. It worked pretty good before removal, the new one works much better so it's safe to say the old one could use some attention before putting it on a truck. It was stuck when I got the truck, some PB Blaster through the J-pipe got it working better but it never seemed "quite right". No leaks though.

Pete,
You get a free peanut.


Now I wonder if we can find a way to roast some of these peanuts as well. Two bushels, on top of what the other guys are bringing, is a lot of boiled peanuts. Anyone ever try roasting green peanuts over a fire? I've only done it in a stove before.

For the vendor area?

The paid water/power spots are pretty big, if I had to guess something like 30x40.


The camping area? Much as you want.

I would think that if we put them in a "square head" (pan that goes above the oven) we could parch them quite well.

 

[3dAngus]

WM,

I'm gonna bring you and Mike a half bushel in case you wanna experiment.
And of course, you can have all the boiled ones you care to eat. Just give me time to get em good and hot for ya.

John Parker, I have the trailer cable and the ladder loaded in the M36. Still don't know how I'm getting both trucks to the rally.

Okay. I hope you find the drivers you need.

 

[Whiterabbit]

Clinto, if I'd known I'd packed a couple rolls of concertina wire to mark off those spots! 'Course you'd spend the rest of the week pick'n women n' kids out'a it!

 

[EMD567]

Right now, 2137 hours, and I am thinking about putting on a jacket. While it might reach the eighties during the day, the humidity is LOW, and the temp falls quickly during the night.

3dangus, peanuts that are young enough to boil are to young to roast. If you put those in the oven you will get crap. Roasting peanuts are at least 40 days older than boiling peanuts and are dried down to at least 12% moisture. If you roast boiling peanuts you will get a sriveraled up stinking mess. If you guys want to roast peanuts let me know and I will bring some of the proper age for roasting. I brought some roasted several years ago but my friend with the roaster does not do that anymore. Trust this old peanut farmer, you cannot roast boiling peanuts.

Attention all interested people.
I have space B7 reserved (I think) which is a 30 amp spot. I think it might be next to the kitchen stuff. I plan to bring a old kitchen tent which I would like to set up. I have also made up a cord that will plug into a 50 amp pole and it has 2 - 20 amp 110 volt plugs on the end with a 50 amp 230 volt plug I had planned to connect my welder with. I am not bringing the welder now but the cord can be used if anybody with a 50 amp plug wants to use it for the community. If there is room at the end of the rented spaces I can set up the tent and put one of the power cords in it for people that need power for chargers or what not. The reason I mention that is because I would need to have you guys keep a spot open for that.

I plan to arrive around 4:00 pm on Thursday and set up in my spot. I also don't mind settting up somewhere other that my spot if the kitchen needs the extra space. I just need a place to plug up. Again if you guys will make sure I have room at the end of the rented spaces to set up, the kitchen can use space B7. If there is no room near the power outlets I will be using my space for my "camper".

I sprayed my M886 with a fresh coat of paint today since it was looking pretty ruff. Now I have to pack everything. See you guys Thursday.
Joe

Sounds like perfect weather to hang out around a dis-appropriately sized fire with a tasty beverage.
JP, I've got 2 large bags of M&Ms packed up for you. How are your supplies holding up, I'll bring as much Ice as I can pack, Most likely some eggs and bacon to add to Dave's cooler and whatever else I can think of. If things go as planned I should be there sometime Tuesday evening.

 

[mdmorgan]

Well, got the camp spot set up, firewood unloaded, items for sale layed out and now ready for bed. I would post pics of some of the goings on, but, I'm still having problems with some security token missing, or some kind of something that admin needs to fix. Patracy, I hope you bring your computer.
