i like this idea

 

Right on Woody, I prefer taking stuff apart to putting it back together.

My 7.3 will have to be back together by Sunday afternoon or I'll become a squatter.

I have a set set of uppies and I'm trying to mash the button on a couple more toys.
Who thinks that Doug needs a Hydra and one of Clay's new wheels????

More important for these things is the sausage. I can do a round of breakfast tacos. OOOh perhaps Chris has another Redfish. Help me remember, was it Gus and wife that did the bacon wrapped shrimp? I'll do up a pot of beans so we can recreate that campfire scene from "Blazing Saddles".

From the radar view looks like the Ted Ranch is getting wet again today and chances are good for the rest of the week.

I have high hopes that we can do another STTD, Hell I'll bring some beer.

Cheers

It was me and they were delicious!

 

They were indeed and I owe ya for it.

What' no thoughts about the toooning?

The wheel is in the mail.

 

I just talked to Ted, and he says the weekend of the 30th is a go! The question we both had, is there anyone who has a long list of things to do? In the past we would do fri-sunday. Is there anyone interested in staying that long? Neither one of us has that much to do and was thinking maybe just Saturday this time. Comments?

 

I may be big list with uppies and a turbo stuff and a HPoilxover
I don't plan to bring the travel trailer so 1 night under the stars or hunkered down in the cab is enough.

I will bring my coleman stove and a cast iron skillet and stuff so we don't starve.

Oh ya, the guys at East Coast Diesel
Power Hungry Performance, 7.3L Powerstroke Performance

are sending me the hydra, 25 of msrp, free shipping, hope it works.

From mundane to kinda cool in a weekend?

 

Where is going to be held at? I might have a date on Saturday night, but I haven't asked her yet. I sure would like to know where I can get one of those high idle gadgets for my new truck. Hooked up to one of those up lift switches.

 

I am currently available on the 30th. But, my camper may not be out of the shop on Friday. So, I should be there at least on Saturday.

I talked it over with Ted and he's ok with either way. I was thinking this get together might not be that big. If it doesn't look like we're going to have a large turnout, then I'm open to having it at my shop if the majority is okay with that? So here's the choice.
Ted's in Hallettsville
Pros;
1)Has much better parking for large crowds and vehicles
2)Has a bathroom
3)you can barely see his neighbors. So we can get loud if we want
4)has access to electricity
5)Family friendly
Cons;
1)no cover and you're working on your vehicle in a pasture


Woody's in Bastrop
Pros;
1)It's a working salvage yard with 220amp and air compressor
2) 7500lbs four post lift
3) 1 spot inside shop(reserved for Doug)
4) concrete slab for 2-3 trucks
5) gravel parking lot for maybe 10 trucks at most
6) It's out in the country too. You can get loud but not as much as Ted's
Cons;
1)No bathroom. For men who only have to pee, there's a few trees
2)I prefer no one under 13. It's a working salvage yard with cars on blocks
3)I can fit 1 or 2 RVs at best
4)Besides the gravel driveway and parking lot, it's sand. A 2wd diesel will get stuck!


You're not going to hurt Ted or my feelings. Ted's or my place?

 

Well, I don't have to go as far to get to Woody's, so......


Timothy

 

Dang Woody, how could I argue with that?

There are a number of folks that we have not heard from in a while, hopefully the word is getting out.

 

I'm good with either location as long as it's the 30th however there's a good chance I'll have one or two guys with trucks going with me

 

Thrice baked uppies, they were a little tough.

 

So uh this happened today looks like I got some work for the tech day nothing some cutting grinding and crowbar can't fix

 

Other side , hit on this side, frame is fine just bent the bracket on the bumper and broke some welds driver in front stopped short and 1tons don't
