I can only plan on wheeling on Saturday - I hope that I still get to go,
Mom had a heart attack last Saturday - she is home now but weak. My grandson is also in the hospital - high fever and flu symptoms.

Austin you are welcome to floor whether I get to go or not - not sure if Brett
is coming but he has already called the spare room. Chris and I live 1/2 mile apart - Maryville, TN 37803 call my cell phone if you are coming 865-659-7804 / You are Welcome at the house !

I'm definitely riding all day on Saturday for sure. I won't be camping, because I live so close and my family are all going to be in town. If everyone's cool with it, I'd like to meet up at the Windrock pay station main parking lot at 8 am, so we can have a full day of riding since it gets dark so soon now. What do you guys think?

I'm still lobbying to have Friday off, but it's up in the air so far.

I'm just not sure yet. One thing is the expense, you know I'll probably end up buying about 700 miles worth of gas and I'll have to board both my dogs for 2 nights. Believe me I want to come!

We'll see what happens with my e-locker this week. I've been discussing it with Jim at Inchworm and right now it looks like it won't be just some stupid little thing to fix.

I can understand that for sure. Money definitely talks in my life, which is why I haven't spent a dime on my 4runner in a long time. Brett, I've got a huge fenced in back yard that you're more than welcome to leave your dogs in while you're up here. I've 3 dogs myself, and they've never hurt any other dogs.

What is Jim saying that might be wrong with your locker? Is it electrical or something else?

Well, the resistor burned out b/c the teeth in the motor aren't lining up, so therefore the motor is running all the time b/c the limter is not being tripped to turn off. Best case is that I remove the motor and realign the teeth, worst case the motor is burned out. If the motor is burned out, then it's back to the junkyard or on to ordering a new one stuffed with 4.88's. 4.88's would be nice but only more $$. I guess if that is the case, then I better get all the toys I want before Brandy makes me take the next step after getting married, dare I say the "k" word.

Ouch! No kids for me in the near future. Too much fun stuff to do right now at our age, but I completely understand where you're coming from. I hope you get it all worked out and can join us. Don't worry about the dog cost, because they're more than welcome here.

Yeah, she's giving me that age thing-you know it's getting late. I'll be 30 in January and I'm with you-too much fun stuff to do! There may be a ray of hope though, she might me only going to her folks place in B'Ham on Friday instead of going to Hickory, NC like she was planning. If so, she might be able to keep the dogs there. I would bring them, but one of them is not friendly when I'm not around.

I can't...
Mike and I are going to have a work day on my truck. I'm going to strengthen and readjust my sliders so they are little closer to the body now that I have a body lift. We are also going to take measurements for a new rear bumper! Then have a bbq over at my house. Everyone that wants to come is welcome to join, those that cant make the run.

I think the run is going to consist of myself and Paul, and that's about it. Anyone else coming?

Joe
Doc
Paul
Me

Is this right?

P.S. Brett, we'd love to have ya man! It won't be the same without you at Windrock!
