I will bring some pigeon river growlers and let mark have a few first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEF CAN'T do burnouts....downhill with a tail wind and a JATO maybe.... so a guy likes his pretty running boards unscratched....sigh... get off my lawn you damn kids! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd B Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I used to be able to do a burn out with my moms ford pinto!! It’s all in the rolling backwards fast enough before dropping it into forward then riding the brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 You must be in Montana by now. We took a 9,000 mile trip three years ago. One tip, stop whenever you see something interesting. Thiose quick stops do not add to the length of the trip and you don’t get road weary. Sure wish we were 200 yards behind you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48Dodger Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I slept for dang near 24 hours since since I got home yesterday. I logged 4000 miles....over 43 hours, going to and from my home in California. I took naps equaling 8 hours. I took this trip out to Minnesota to get Mark the large truck parts he bought from a California Bay Area wrecking yard. It was an excellent trip!!! The whole deal ended with a BBQ fire pit party at Mark's. My good friends Jeremiah and Sarah, Merle and Michelle, Mark and Linda*, Ed and his family, Todd,and few of Mark's local buddies....they are all awesome! Todd drove 8 hours for the met up at Mark's and then 8 hours back late after the party started winding down. Merle and Michele drove 4 plus hours from Wisconsin in their 50' truck...spent the night and headed out after breakfast with us. I can't thank them enough for being there. I know I wasn't the only reason, but it added greatly to my trip! ED and his family are the greatest. His kids had me laughing and missing the fact that my kids are all grown up.....I called a few of my kids during the drive...my daughter laughed and asked me if I was ever gonna grow up.....I said "no". Had a gooood dinner at Jeremiah's on the way out.... Sarah and Jeremiah both cooked the dinner, great way to end the trip!! The best part was, with all the correspondence on the forum, its no wonder we all spoke as if we were longtime friends who were just trying to "catch up"! Thanks to everyone....it made my summer. *Linda wasn't actually there, but her presence was felt through her preparation and a phone call!

I’m very glad I was invited and had a blast. Maybe next time Mark could get more firewood cut ahead so I don’t have to control the amount of wood being burnt. It was a pleasure to meet the legend Tim in person, great guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Just want it to be clearly understood, Tim is only available on loan. We know a great guy when we see one! Looking forward to April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
