SORRY ABOUT THE HIGHJACK>>>DONT KNOW WHY I POSTED THIS HERE

So.....I just took the truck and trailer loaded up for a test run....put my bmw in the trailer and hit the road. On the slightest incline I couldnt get over 40mph. Im going to look at a new(er) truck right now!

No negativity here guys.
Just stating my opinion.

And, I never said it couldn't work, I just said it DIDN'T work at the time.

Funny that you guys are ragging on me for some of the statements I make when they are right along the lines of a lot of comments made by members in the past.

Doesn't mean I'm doing it on purpose. But most amusing to see your reactions.
I can state my opinion now, I couldn't before. Try not taking things so literally would ya?
I got most of your's phone numbers. If I had a problem I'd call. But, I don't have any.



Here is the thing.
Getting together doesn't require Pat's approval, or my approval or anyones.
It just requires a few people here to decide they want to do something wherever they are.
Thats the idea behind your original statement.
Now, when I was around the state a lot, I made sure to try and stop and see any member I knew where they lived and could get in contact with.
This basically goes towards this principal. If i go to grand rapids, I see Tim Peterson, when I went to lansing I'd have a beer with rich.
I've been to pats, and i've met with lots of other members.
Just takes some action on everyone part, not just 1 or 2 people.


I think the statement is "put your money where your mouth is"
Though, we are not talking about money, just having a good time with friends.

And thats pretty simple. =)

Maevans, you still haven't called me back either!

I calculated for me to move to cali, 500 in fuel. On the high end.
That was just fuel. calculated at 13 mpg at ... i think it was 2.89 for fuel at the time.
Whatever it came out to a lot.
I was like. "screw this plan" hahaha.
I had a job lined up and everything.

Do to wifes back surgery unable to cook for anyone but we could have a cook out. No room in the winter have about 16 inches of snow on the ground

I for one think we should do the KY thing for the F-250 that would be great.

note: I am not talking about the jelly thing.
