Thanks for checking in, we're fine here, nothing as far as an 'ice storm' happened in our area, it was all south of us.
No power outages, just some nasty weather for awhile.

Did hit a pretty severe snow storm returning from the NY run on Sunday though, got lucky and only had 20 miles left to be home when we ran into it.
Total white out on the interstate, pulling an 18ft trailer...whohoo!

Frames done...one step closer to Tenn.

I've been following your build thread (detours and all) and like what I'm seeing. Keep up the good work and hope you keep dodging them ice/snow bullets

[LUV2XCLR8]

I can't wait, planning on driving "Merlot" since nobody wants her

[Ron 586]

I'll be happy to see her in my yard again.

All's we need is nice weather so we can ride topless!

Welcome to the site from Big Sandy, West Tennessee. I have been to Goose Creek several times during my 30+ years of truck driving. I would hate to have to chose between the grand canyon and the meet but know which I would choose. (the meet of course) Hope to see you in July.

[vtblazer]

Easy choice, the Grand Canyon will be there next year, a local meet-n-greet chuck full of 1st gens won't.

[1972 Banana]

The Grand Canyon trip is pretty much paid for and not by me, Should know more in a day or two. Just like everyone else on here I have some things to do before the trip, no major problems in the reliability area just cosmetic.

Heck I will just load up the tool box(duct tape,bailing wire electrical tape and some nylon tie straps) check the fluid levels and go! But I am thinking maybe I should get some good cell phone #'s and someone lined up from home to come rescue me if the need arises.

[5150]

Banana, we know enough people that live off of I-75, I-24, and I-40 to get you taken care of

[1972 Banana]

That is one thing about people who drive the older vehicles,they will always offer to help a fellow out with an old truck.

hope to make it to the event should be a blast!

My name is Bryan too! Cool!

I know 5150 will have his there, and "Merlot", so that is
2 for sure. I would like to see about 25 total myself

That'd be most excellent.

Maybe for the new year, we should start a poll of those who plan to attend.


Given I get this crate together, I'm there.

[LUV2XCLR8]

But where would we put the poll?

Could start a new thread, or is it possible to add it to this one?

[LUV2XCLR8]

You started it so I think you can add to it, at least I think you can

[vtblazer]

We got us a poll goin' boys!

I voted #5 but even if it isn't finished, I'm still coming down.

I'll trailer the freaking thing if I have too.

[LUV2XCLR8]

Don't do that, you can't take the GQ chassis if you trailer yours silly

[AJs72K5]

I voted #3. Wanna make the trip, but too hard to plan July already with the kids.

[Ron 586]

I voted number 1, can you imagine that? I've already talked to my friend David (cook at last years event) and he's in. So all that's left to do is call the port a john place and the rest we'll handle in house. If you want to see what's in store click on the photobucket link at the bottom of my siggy. When it opens look on left side near top under albums and click on board meet 2008. Then at top right click on slide show and enjoy. I will contact the host motel and get us a group rate if needed after this poll. Gas in Paris Tn. was $1.249 today and hopefully it will stay below $2.00 this year. So make plans and let's make this a meet to remember. Here is some of the folks that showed up last year.

[Ron 586]

OK guys listen up. I have edited my 1st post in announcing this meet as follows. July 17, 18, 19, 2009. It will be a 3 day meet but come when you can and leave when you need to. More changes to come as we get closer to the date but know this you won't leave disappointed. Stay tuned......

Yeppers, worth the drive
