It was great meeting the gang. We do need to get a little bit more participation.

By the way, Tammie is working on our Banner. She will surprise you with several to chose from later.

 

Ok... time for a mini trip report of yesterday. The day started at 4am as I took the scenic route from Green Bank to Nutter Fort by way of Charleston

First a stop at Cathedral Falls in Gauley Bridge


Then a potty break in Gauley Bridge. If anyone needs some 100 octane, they sell it! $5.95/gal


Then a side trip to WV Tech since I haven't been there since about 2002.


After about 3 hours in Pinch, we headed up I79 to the G2G. The food was delicious! I'm a sucker for ribs and they weren't cold yet even though we were late

It was great to meet all the folks, talk trucks, put names with faces and all that good stuff. Kudos to Joe for traveling so far even though his weekend time has been cut short lately and also Kudos to Dave S for getting it all set up. I tried to rep you guys but I gotta spread it around some more first.

I spent more time talking trucks then taking pics of trucks but here's one I took of the whole fleet in attendance.


Finally, here's a pic of my little girl watching a little bit of TV in Dave's truck

 

nice pics, Jason......I love your little girl, I just wanna hug her.....LOL

And I didnt get to see under Cheetos hood, the only one I missed

 

I think Matty would have been anyones friend if they got her out of a truck running around for a while, she sure had fun on the slide and looking for flowers.

As for the TV, I may have to look though the tapes we have here, I can probably find something she would like better than Jurassic Park.

Still a good day and glad to meet everyone.

Tammie, it's not the tech challenged so much as I have a hard enough time typing on a full sized keyboard.

Damed if I am going to try typing on a phone keyp[ad with my big fingers.

Notice I left the mistakes I gert to many times on a full sized keyboard.

Still think I do OK for never taking typing when I was in school, even if I do have to back up and correct some mistakes.
Personal computers had not been invented when I was in school, and I saw no reason I needed typing.

As for under Cheeto's hood, he had the only truck there that you could see the pavement on both sides of the engine almost the entire engine compartment length.

 

Now, Dave.....ya know I was just poking fun atcha.....LOL.....I enjoyed our leaning on one another!!! You really made me feel welcome!!!! THANK YOU~~

 

Wish I could have made it. Sounds like everyone had a good time! I had family in from Michigan and Kentucky this weekend and my mother inlaw has been in the hospital for over a week now.

Jason-Cathedral falls was a great stop! I have lots of photos from there. I do a lot of fishing in that area from Cotton Hill all the way to Kanawha Falls

 

Maybe you can make it to the Charleston area meet on May 8th!!!


I am gonna rally some of these folks in our area and see if we can get a bit bigger turn out!!!!


PS....Dave!!! are you related to anyone by the name of Ashley Sponaugle from the Charleston area???
We work the same place, never heard the name before here on FTE........is it a very common name in WeeVee???

 

That would certainly be more within my budget

 

MINE, TOO!!!!

and, now you have pert near no reason not to be there

{{{{{hugs}}}}}

 

Well, considering the mine I normally work at is in Marmet...I'd say you are right And I will do my best to attend.

 

YOU are right outside my door, while at work!!!!!

 

Yeah, she's always been really good natured and always seems to have fun no matter what she's doing.

Dinosaurs were definitely the right subject for a movie for her. She's really been into those the past few months.

That's cool! I drove past those falls a few times a week for about 5 years while I was going to/from tech. They're really nice in the winter when they freeze.

I went to Chas that way for "old time's sake" yesterday... to show my little girl those falls, "where Daddy went to school", and a few other things. I wanted to stop at Hawk's Nest too but we were short on time.

 

well, and I quote "I am really getting into Steamboat Willie lately"
