tb sat, 2-19-05

[Josh]

my question is who is going to tb this sat. brad and i are seriously thinking about going and we have some friends riding with us, maybe. i'm just curious who is going

[Don]

Josh, you wouldn't wheel with me last weekend, so I am not wheel-n with you this weekend. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Seriously, my wheel-n days are over until March and only then if I find time to do some repairs to my TJ. You will LOVE wheel-n with that new lift. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[mawardjr]

If it doesn't rain anymore this week and doesn't rain on Saturday then I'm planning on going.
Any rain though and I'll probably pass.

[Tomster]

I really need to go up to Illinois and see some friends. I have been putting that trip off too long. It doesn't sound like it's gonna be a real good weekend to wheel, according to the weather forecast. It might be a good weekend to go see those friends.

Tom

[gmbtj]

yeah, I'm going skiing this weekend. then i will be at my dad's all week and im gonna try to be back by that sunday on the 27.

[pirate_over50]

It's gonna be a wait see Sat. Rain...won't be going. Sunny, probably will. Or will wait till the 27th and bring the Paducah ( KY Mafia ) gang with me.

[mawardjr]

Tom, have you decided what you are doing this saturday? Wheelin' or Visitin'

[Tomster]

Leaning very heavily toward "visiting" right now.

[pirate_over50]

Actually if you go to the 10 day forcast, it looks better this Sat than it does the next!

[Josh]

don't worry about us, brad and i usually go by ourselves alot

[mawardjr]

So .... who's going and who's not?
I'm still kinda up in the air but leaning more to going than not if forecast holds true.

Tom?
Brewer?
Rod?

[Landon]

Well, most of you haven't met me yet, but I've been planning on going to TB this Sat. I talked to Tom on Sunday evening about going this Sat., and at that point he said he'd 'break me in'. At any rate, I've been out of town on business this week until tonight, and I still want to go to TB on Sat. I'm in! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Landon, if you go wheel-n with Tom and rest of the itsajeep.org "Gang", you will be in good hands. Besides, you will have a BLAST!! I only met some of the "Gang" in person last week when we wheeled. I am counting the days until I can get back to TB! I know a guy who just purchased a Jeep and has never wheeled. He wants me to take him out Jeep-n. I can guarantee you, I want his first Jeep-n experience to be at TB with Tom and the "Gang" as it just doesn't get any better than that /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tu.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tu.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tu.gif

[Paul E]

My Jeep is outta commission this weekend, but perhaps next weekend I'll bring it back up and see if I have fixed all my leaks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[mawardjr]

Forecast is now calling for 50% chance of rain for tomorrow .... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/td.gif

So ... I'm waiting to see what becomes of that before I say ya or nay.

[Josh]

brad and i will be there as of right now, i'm putting new brakes on it today

[Tomster]

OK, I'm in.

I found out that I can go up to Illinois week after next on company bidness, and I can make a little side trip to see my friends then.

So, I will be at the entrance between 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM.

Tom

[mawardjr]

So roster is as follows:

1)Josh
2)Brad
3)Tom
4)Rod ??
5)Landon
6)Matt (KY TJ)
7)Mike W - if it isn't raining

[Josh]

you know how me and brad run, so if were late leave without me, i don't get off work on fridays till midnight, don't get home in bed until 1 in the morning. i tend to drag on sat. morning so we will get there as soon as possible but don't wait for us. we can find you

[Landon]

Wooo Hooo!!! Am I glad to see the roster filling up! I'm looking forward to meet all of you in person finally. Tom, I will look to meet you and the 'Gang' at the TB entrance between 9:00 am and 9:30 am. BTW, I got my rear tow hooks today. Getting ready to go install them so they'll be ready for weheelin' tomorrow. I didn't want to dissappoint you, after all. See y'all tomorrow morning... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

[Tomster]

OK, Landon. It will be fun.

Tom

[Tomster]

Brewah??? What about you????

[mawardjr]

Landon,
I roll up there via I-24 to Cadiz. I usually stop for gas at exit '89 (I think) just inside the KY line. Maybe I'll see ya on the way and we can caravan.

[Tomster]

I might see some of you at the Chevron next to Mickey D's at Cadiz, where you get off of I-24. I usually stop there for coffee at about 8:45 to 9:00 AM.

[gmbtj]

im sad that i have to miss this weekend and maybe the next sunday too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
hopefully i'll be back in town saturday night and i can wheel with most of you sunday. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[pirate_over50]

Very seriously considering it....Might just even drive the Jeep there.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif

[Landon]

Tom, mawardjr, I will be rolling that way from my house. I live just off of exit 1, just across the KY/TN line. The Cadiz exit is not far from me at all. I have a buddy riding with me, and we will stop at Mc'D's at the Cadiz exit for some quick chow and coffee also. So, myabe I WILL see you guys there, and then we can caravan to TB. Tom, the rear tow hooks (two of them) are installed. Plus, I have some new M/T tires installed that I found on special. They even gave me $250 trade-in on my 4 old BFG A/T's, plus gave me an even trade for the spare. Not a bad at all. I'll be seeing you guys tomorrow then. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tu.gif

[Tomster]

Hey, that's great Landon! Where did you get your tire deal?

Tom

[Landon]

From some local Mom and Pop place called Ratchford Tire Co. here in Clarksville. A bunch of good ole' boys working there, all very nice and friendly. Hooked me right up...

[Tomster]

They treated you pretty good, I would say.

What brand of Muds did you get and what size? 31 x 10.50? BFG?

Tom

[RodDawg]

If it's not raining in the morning.....I'll be there.

[Landon]

Tom,

I got 31" Dunlop Mud Rover M/T tires. Five of them, brand new, for $250.00. They're not BFG muds, but for the price I couldn't beat it. I'm still waiting on my lift kit to arrive. Not a big deal, as it's only a 1.5 inch lift.

Landon /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/animxj.gif

[Josh]

i regret to say that brad and i won't make it, brad is still stuck in norther illinois on work related and i have a friend that playes basketball and he had an accident in a game and may need surgery tomorrow and i'm going to see him in the morning. i hate last minute things but thats life. i'm extremely sorry i can't go. i'll be thinkin about tb

[Tomster]

Josh:

Hope your bud's surgery goes well, if it turns out he needs it.

We'll hook up next time.

Tom

[mawardjr]

Note to the new guys joining us today ....

Bring a lunch ... we usually stop around noon and eat/chat. You may already do that already but we've seen a few that come out with only a soda or nothing at all. Just don't want ya starvin' on us ... heh heh.

See ya'll there!

[Tomster]

Hey, Boys! Gettin' ready for the big day of wheelin'. Will be leaving the house in about an hour.

Just took a peak at that Paducah weather radar that Gilly was kind enough to link us to. It looks pretty good. There is a large area of rain north of us, up around Evansville, but the Ky Lake area looks clear with only small patches of rain on the scope that are located where they could potentially move into the Lake area.

Let's WHEEL! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!

[Jefferson1964]

[Don]

Hey Guys / Gals, anyone going to post some photos from today? How was the trail ride ?? We want to know!!!

[pirate_over50]

It was excellent and the rain held off till we left. Some good photos on the way!

[Tomster]

I have several pics uploaded, but a WHOLE BUNCH more to go. Dial Up SUCKS!

Be patient, Landon. I load pics in reverse order from the sequence in which they were taken. This makes them show up in chronological order in the album. So, I am working my way toward some more pics of your Jeep.

Tom

[homebrewkicker]

i was just looking at the pics, looks like you all had a great day of wheelin and the weather held off for you, wish i could have been there /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif but there is allways next week! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/woot.gif

[Tomster]

Still got more pics coming. Keep checking. Dial up sucks!

[Josh]
