I'm bringing the new CyberShot - it'll shoot up to a couple hours of high-res video.

I think it was better off wedged in between the toolboxes... spent the last few weeks nestled in the cupholder next to the iced double-shot no frappe' soy latte' yummy thingie in back of the (speed-shifted) gear shift.
Hopefully, hot water will wash the goo off...

Not supposed to bring anything. I read somewhere that everything was being provided.

Hmmm, I'm getting one of those stay at the house kind of feelings after seeing what I need to take just to fend off the critters.

No canabalization necessary... Just a bummer...

There are a couple on craigslist that have what I want, but they wont ever get back to me...

Called around to a few dealers about takeoffs and they want like 350-500 for a set!

Couple tire shops want $75 a piece.. Nope not gonna happen..

One of those deals, I'm not feeling good and my fuel bill is already going to look bad this month (among books, oil, and computer stuff on that same card). I'll probably decide in the morning if I'm headed ya'lls way or not. (We have a pull going down here tomorrow anyway)

Alright found a set of rims. 17" chrome steeleys... No tires though. What size should I shop around for? 285 probably??? Found a set of 265s, probably too small though.

Last Reminder! Read Carefully!

Since some of you are worse than a four YO (you know who your) so I'm going to send out daily notices on what you need to bring.

* Bedding, tent and whatever else you need to rest comfortably. No toilet facilities, but an outside shower will be available. Towels will not be furnished.

* Your own drinks and snacks. If you don't plan on buying in on the fajitas Saturday night, you will need to bring more than snacks. There are a couple of places to eat down the road, but I don't know what their holiday schedules are.

* Lawn chair or whatever else you want to sit on. An Easy Up or any other kind of canopy that will provide shade.

* Any specialty tools or parts you might need. There is no place closer than 15 or 20 miles to get what you might need. I have a floor jack, stands, a couple of bottle jacks and a compressor. BrIan is also bringing his air jack.

* If you don't like chiggers and skeeters, bring what ever you need to keep them away from you.


* Plan to stay long enough to help clean up. This place ain't much, but I do my best...........

* If you plan on drinking beer or booze, plan on staying. There is a strict no drinking and driving rule up here.


* If you have a coleman stove and a couple of fair sized skillets, bring them.

* If you need directions, PM me.


If I missed something, let me know............
