well the weather looks crappy for the Relay for Life......
Thunderstorms/showers....

Will the event go on as planned, if we do have thunderstorms?
and Is everyone still camping friday for the relay, and saturday for the Laurel IN, Off roading trip?

I am still in for camping Friday night unless its 30 degrees and a monsoon, then its a cheap hotel, and see what happens Saturday, my wife may get to see me earlier than expected though if its too bad! :lol:

I'll still be there, rain or shine. Not sure about the Sunday run, but will be there for Saturday

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Apr 29, 2008 7:20 pm

I am just ready to be somewhere else so I will be there.
Only problem with working at home, you get tired of being at home all the time! :lol:

So ready to escape every now and again! Heck I have only put 1596 miles on the KJ in the last three weeks, have to use up some gas!!!

Man, working from home, I think I'd like that. I'll have to see if I can find a job like that, need a helper Tom?!?

When I retire you can have it, actually work out of my house but on the road two/three days a week for 5 or 6 hours at a time, (just in the Northwestern part of Ohio) . Not bad though. There are only 4 of us with the state agency I work for that gets to work from home. Makes the other 130 people really jealous at times. :twisted:

Think we need any additional tools along this weekend? I have my normal tools(which is enough to rebuild a KJ almost :wink:

) plus u joints/tie rod ends/ fan belt/ idler pulley/ spark plugs, anything else...maybe a radiator??? :lol:

I need to stop carrying so much stuff

Well, seeing as there is only a 40% chance of thundershowers on Saturday and no rain (at Haspin) on Sunday it should be a cake walk (compared to the last time I was at Haspin :evil:

). All that heavy snow we got late in the season and then the solid week of rain right after that left Haspin not so fun. There was a lot of trials we did not get to cover.

moose · **Posted:** Tue Apr 29, 2008 8:31 pm

rain or shine, i'll be there friday with the camper and the dogs and the boy. (and I'll figure out how to get the smoker up there too :wink:

)

Oh, and can we get a 7:30 departure to go to Haspin the next day?

I AM going to be at Haspin on Sunday, just to clarify. Just can't make the Relay. Scott, I need to meet up with you sometime this week.

Tom, I no longer need a radiator (Thanks Scott and Mitch) but I do need to go tow strap shopping when I'm off Friday..old one got frayed, so I pitched it.

pretty much my normal load in the back, I never like to leave home without most everything I would need to get back home. Keep trying to figure out how to carry a raw egg in the glove box in case of a radiator leak :lol:

I had to drive back home from Savannah Ga. one year on a holiday weekend in my F150 in front wheel drive cause I didnt take an extra U joint and no parts stores open! NO MORE!!!!! :lol:

501 · **Posted:** Tue Apr 29, 2008 11:30 pm

I don't have spare parts yet, so hopefully I won't need them :shock:

Have to look at my tow strap and see what I have, I think it has the hooks on it so I'll have to stop and pick up one without hooks this week. (In case Haspin will work out for me)

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2008 12:34 am

501, Tractor Supply is a pretty good place to pick one (tow strap) up if you want to get one.

as far as spare parts I have a really bad habit of buying things when I find a good deal on them and stock piling them. But then I guess I save in the long run, but my garage looks like a darn parts store at times. My garage down home has everything from 48 Ford to KJ parts in the rafters, somebodies going to be rich when I die!

Thanks Tom, I'll have to go see what they got.

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2008 2:07 pm

Any idea of what time the out of towners are going to be arriving at the campground ??
Jon, do you know about what time you will be down that way?
Chris will be in Lima with his lady so we will not see him till Saturday morning :wink:

501 Daryl will be down earlier on friday and at the park hes staying at, then coming over to meet us.
I think I have Jon, Chris and Daryls numbers so we can call I guess, I don't want to get there and sit by myself!!!! Since Sean is not sure yet and he may have a date :roll:

not sure why this would come in 2nd place after a date but.....................

just trying to get an idea of times/ what all is happening Friday evening, set up camp, grab a bite to eat, drink some ....sodas :wink:

Tell lies.... :shock:

Tom,

Ray (RAYMANsomenumbers) and I are going to be caravaning down. I figure we'll head out probably sometime between 3:30 and 4 ish so you can expect us at the camp around 8.

Whats the plan on food? Are we going to be going out for all the meals or should we get a menu together and bring some stoves and delegate ingredients?

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2008 2:57 pm

no one had really said so thats why I was asking or just saying maybe easier to just go out somewhere and grab whatever, kind of depends on the weather as well since it may or may not be pouring down rain ???

moose · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2008 3:13 pm

do we want to do that rather than the ribs?
