Second Bi-Annual TX MV Rally

[Maverick1701]

Im out, Deputy Gillie is tore up pretty bad after the accident and is going to surgery (Again) later tonight. My Sheriff asked if I would stay....this is a little more important than the rally so I gladly said yes.

I will gladly pay my fees, just let me know where to send money. I want to keep this event alive so I can make it in 6mo for the next bi-an tx rally...

No worries Maverick, take care of what you need to do. The rally will always be here.

Maverick:
Please let Deputy Gillie and his family, as well as your Sheriff's Department, are all in our prayers.
We pray for his surgeons and all of his caregivers, that their hands be guided toward his quick and complete recovery.
May God also bless you for stepping up to the plate and putting others before you desires.
Amen.

Are we going to be able to have a fire, or am I thinking to much like boy scout campouts? I have some cedar fence board if you need some.

I've got some old bills to help kindle those boards too.

Maverick, we are sorry you can't make it, but understand why and applaud you for that. Please pass on our best wishes to your coworker for a speedy recovery.

two.fiveM35, we are definately ok for a fire so bring anything you wanna burn.

Can we throw my boss on the fire

 

[nofearnohope]

I'm afraid not. This is a family event. Sorry.

You'd really want to release those hot gasses into the air?

Colton is still home sick with a fever. It is below 100° at least now. We still plan to be there. Since Scott and White is our doctor, being 5 miles away at the Rally is better than being 60 miles away with him home for the weekend. Out of respect for others though, if he still has a fever, I might leave him home to be brought by Jennifer if he gets better. She wants to do Yell as well. So, she will come up later Friday night for that. She is '93.

Pistolnut came by the house last night to pick up all the tow bar stuff to get his M715 to the Rally.

Boxcar has his truck all prepped and ready to go to.

I should be ready to go tonight once I undo all the stuff needed for me to make the Ft. Sam trip yesterday in the M715.

 

[CyrusX4]

So does anyone know what the projected final head count is? And how many of those people are going to show up tonight?
I can't wait to hit the trails

 

[nofearnohope]

My best estimate is over 20 members, plus there family members. Probably half dozen will be out there tonight, the rest should show up for lunch tomorrow.

 

[nofearnohope]

I'll be out at the ranch at 5:30 for those that are coming out tonight. Weather looks like its gonna get down into the mid 30s right before dawn and low 40s for Sat night.

 

[Barrman]

There are a lot of "Yes, count me in" types that haven't posted in a long time. We probably won't know the count until it is over. We should have at least 6 or 8 different "family units" at a minimum tonight.

Colton's fever broke a little after 2100 last night. He is feeling great now and since he can't go to school, is calling me at work every hour to talk about the trip. He wants me to get the M1009 up there too so he can drive it.

I plan to leave work be be without the computer around 1600. If for some reason anybody needs to call me. 979-540-8478. See everybody tonight.

 

[fuzzytoaster]

You know I'll be there. nofearnohope, need a hand with anything before people start to arrive?

 

[nofearnohope]

Thanks, man, but nothing really to set up for the Rally. I'm just getting all my stuff together so I can meet the owner out there at 5:30.

I broke a tooth in half. I do not think I could have a good time, and can not be seen by a dentist on such short notice. I do not know what might help, maybe hitting my hand repeatedly with a ball peen hammer would distract me from the tooth.

I can't believe in dallas Texas I can not find a dentist that can at least look at the tooth, say, "yeah that is cracked right in half", and send me home with some kind of vicomorphaqualaudideine until Monday. I wish I could sleep. Of course I have not called them -all- there are hundreds but I have given up. I am not complaining about dentists, they are usually pretty booked up, I think it is their secretaries who are not actually asking the Dr. if he can see someone for an emergency. The secretary refuses to secrete an appointment. The circumstances are not working out that is all.

 

[nofearnohope]

That really sucks about your tooth. Hope you can find some kind of relief cause tooth pain has to be one of the worst kind.

I'm heavily considering 'joining the club' of M35A2 owners, and was hoping the rally this weekend would be a good chance to conversationally learn about these vehicles with regards to knowledge base for maintenance, rolling cost of ownership, etc. Is this the right even for this? Seems like this might require a good amount of family attention by those who could educate/discuss. I would be coming from DFW, so I would want to have the correct expectations before the 5hr drive.

Thanks,
