For those folks who never attended, I suggest you do. For those folks who never volunteer, I suggest you do.

It's a long weekend, surely everyone can spare one 4 hour block assisting friends and carrying the flame. Simple.tasks like refilling the hand was stations or washing dishes for one meal. Wiping down tables in the mess tent is a 10 minute job, imagine if 12 folks stood up and said they would each do it once, Beats the heck out of just a couple of folks carrying the load.

PLEASE consider offering your talents for just a while. Take a load off the 5% that do 95% of the work.

I've actually felt kinda bad in the past for not pitching in more than I did.

I will definitely make an effort to do more than my fair share...that is, IF I can ever manage to make it back there again.

Let me add this so it doesn't sound like I'm complaining too much. If this next rally is your first, don't feel compelled to volunteer. There is a lot to take in. If you feel something needs to be done and don't mind, knock yourself out. Other than that, sit back and enjoy the scenery. A small case in point, we often ask for folks to bring firewood. We had a first time attendee ask about the fire. After showing him whefe it is traditionally located, he saw the small amount of firewood and headed back out and returned with a bunch of wood. He then chased down splitting equipment and got a fire going. Thank you Sir. I enjoy my job there and I think other would too.

Rocky,
I like your idea for the ride to the rally from the airport. How about I pick you up in this on my way to Atlanta....

No need to carry the intel-collection packages, so the sensor bays in the fuselage and nose fairing will by available for your change of underwear.

Folks, where are the pics? This is an event with 140 trucks, 4 days of offroading, golf cart shenanigans, flamethrowers, etc.

My excuse is that I was busy and I literally took one picture. I know some of you have to have hundreds of shots on your phones. Let''s see 'em!

The day before they ( Gimpy and Westech) both pulled the dog house on the flight line van troubleshooting the 6.5 which only burped once on the 18 hours home. Also got to thank patracy for some pin striping he did!
