Gunnermac and company just pulled in.

That's no fair, he lives a minute away.

Karen discovered an issue with the distributor on the M880 this weekend, but hopefully she'll have it taken care of this evening.

Tentative plans are to roll out of here at Oh God Thirty on Wednesday morning. Should put me at Durhamtown at lunchtime or thereabouts.

Youse guyz better not be having too much fun without me.

Planning on taking US1 most of the way down. I just figured out a new way to bypass Columbia entirely to get to 378 and not hafta fool with I-20 at all. Pretty stoked about that.

Well, one of my kids had a Dr appt today and the Wife is in FL. Besides nothing is really happening since I'm not there.

Hey, Steve is on his home turf, isn't your ground dwelling across the street near the chicken haus?

Not this year. To much dust. I brought 2 8D batts to run the fridge.

I thought I had everything locked on, still do, just have to adapt and overcome. A typical Monday turned into a hit a 50 pound dog on the way to work in the Trans Am day. That is a hit toward the negative but keep moving. I had dropped my M105 trailer off at a friends shop to load their supplies and I'd pull. They loaded and the M105 is no longer needed. I decided it can stay parked over there and load my M1102. I forgot how much junk I had in it but transferred all of that into the back of the M923. My better half is a trooper though, she spent the better part of 2 hours tonight sanitizing the M1102 trailer with copious amounts of degreaser and bleach. I think she will do the same in the morning but who knows. I did get a standing order after the ordeal this evening, the M1102 is her trailer for the Rally along with anything else, no more storage during the year. In the past, I have picked on her about how she has to bring half the house with her to such things. I suppose now she has a means to bring it all. If you read all of this, you need a video!

PFFFFFT.... adult responsibilities. It's the GA rally for crying out loud!!!!

And plenty is happening, but happening without you!

Having way more fun than is allowed by law........

Ok, I'll be running NC18 S to I-85,so I'll be a bit too far north to convoy with.

Anyone else headed down I-85 on Wednesday morning wanna tag along?

JP,you and Adam have room for the wrecker and trailers there in the corner?

 

[papabear]

You know I know folks....that know folks. Here's the deal. Youse guyz are authorized to have half as much fun as you would have if we were there, anything beyond that...and chit gets real Wednesday evening.

Tinwoodsman is flying in from Texas tomorrow and we will conduct pre-rally operations at Zout's AO tomorrow evening and then SP toward that AO Wednesday around 10:30AM (depending on MB of course). Should close on your AO around 15-16:00ish.

Not sure what MVs we will be bringing yet as transport vehicles are causing issues!

The problem I see with 8D batteries is you need a D8 to move them.

 

[Recovry4x4]

D town just called me. Seems like somebody has a yearly rental trailer on spot B12, and D town just realized it. So I have been moved to Spot B-7, which I gather is next to the MKT on the dirt road side. Not real thrilled, as I enjoyed the corner, and the lack of traffic.

I guess everybody better call D town and check to make sure they still have spots.......

John, since the permanent trailer has lost it's permanancy, are you going to remain in the corner with Ferro?

 

[Ferroequinologist]

JP,you and Adam have room for the wrecker and trailers there in the corner?

We will make sure you have a spot.

Standing by for microjeep then underway.
