ROLL CALL: "West Texas Detachment" Identify Yourselves, Please.

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

Welcome, wtxpumper

 

[wtxpumper]

Thank you usafss. Yeah red I saw u where out there. What outfit do you work for? I figured u would need at least a deuce to not get killed by a water truck in midland.

 

[red]

Haha I used to ride a street legal dirt bike out here for a daily driver. I work for Lariat drilling.

 

[wtxpumper]

I ride a m109r. But try to stay away from midland. Had a guy I went to school with got killed on the loop here a few months ago. **** I hit a deer about 5 months ago coming out of alpine tx. Broke ribs, broke collar bone, and a bunch of road rash. I'm with Clayton Williams energy.

 

[VPed]

Convoy with Red out here to the El Paso area and we can do some wheelin' here.

 

[red]

Headed that way in about 2 1/2 weeks

 

[VPed]

I know, I was trying to convince one more. Two, if John is interested as well.

You West Texas gents, if you are somewhat close to any GL outlet
and if you or your local boyscouts (or?) want to make a few extra dabloons
from time to time perhaps looking at stuff and loading out stuff and
getting it off to me , just let me know via PM ONLY please.
No bologna here, I prepay...

( I am a Panhandle guy myself, well, Mom is from Borger,TX )

 

[wtxpumper]

I'd be good with an El Paso trip. Have to plan something since I'm on a 10-4 schedule. If y'all ever get a wild hair and want to get stuck come to pecos. Gotta wait in the river to go down first or somebody will be swimming

 

[VPed]

Artisan - there are a couple of SSers that like hanging out at the Ft. Bliss GL lot. I will point out your request to them and let them chime in or not. There is also a member from AZ that is at the lot a lot.

wtx - I don't necessarily mind getting stuck on occasion is someone with an equally or greater sized truck is nearby but I don't like mud. I prefer sand because it involves very little cleanup afterward.

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

In the VERY RARE event that GL sells anything from their TOM GREEN / GOODFELLOW AFB site, I am always on standby for inspections and load-out.

Wtxpumper I'm headed to el Paso on Friday the 17th when I get off work around 5pm. Headed back this way on Sunday. I'm currently on the 9x20 ndt's so my cruising speed is 50mph. Figure do some camping and offroading, then load up my bed with cargo on the trip back.

 

[wtxpumper]

I'm on the 9x20s as well and sweaty Betty only likes 50 mph. I believe I'm off that weekend let me make sure they don't have me scheduled to bring on any wells. I will pm u.

Getting ready to roll. Have 1 flat tire but otherwise I'm set. Carrying spare belts, wheel bearings, fluids, and a few other items as usual. Should be rolling by 6pm friday

 

[red]

Well bad news with the deuce. Went to replace the flat tire and some of the wheel studs are stripping (yes turning the correct way), checked the other axles and having a few others doing the same thing. Looks like I'm making the trip with the 05 pickup and finding a trailer

 

[VPed]

That's too bad. I was looking forward to six-wheeling (ten in your case) out in the hills together.

 

[red]

Same here. Will have to happen on a later trip. I'll be there Saturday with the pickup/trailer though.

 

[VPed]

Have a safe trip. See you tomorrow.

Anyone up for some offroading/camping during the winter months?
