Todd B Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 I loved my wife so much I married her twice. Plus as a benefit I got half my stuff back. I have met Marks and Merles honeys and I think everything will be just fine. The guys found some great catches, (Not sure if Marks lady is making the right choice though) 3 Quote

pflaming Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 Tim, you having a swap table this year? Others, especially from south of Fresno. I am driving up on Friday afternoon, stay night in Lodi, the BBQ, and return Saturday evening. If anyone wants to car pool let me know, my departure time from Selma, CA is very flexible. I did this last year, had a great time. Paul 1 Quote

48Dodger Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Posted March 12, 2016 Tim, you having a swap table this year? Parts table is fine Paul. Seems in the years past guys just found an open area and sold their stuff no problem. If the swap meet part of the BBQ becomes more important, we'll make an area for it. As far as my stuff goes, I really should create do a better job laying it out before the event. hmmmm...... 48D Quote
48Dodger Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Posted March 12, 2016 Doing my best to keep the flyer on the current page!!! 48D Quote
48Dodger Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Posted March 15, 2016 BBQ is almost upon us!!!! When the event is under way, a few forum names will come up....some asking questions like "wonder what he's like?" "wonder if he'll come out next year?" or "wouldn't it be great if that guy was here, I'd like to talk with him". It's what created the "Wish You Were Here Award". An award that reminds everyone on the forum, no matter where you're at, you're invited!! Past winners 2008 Don Coatney 2009 Merle Coggins 2010 Hank aka HanksB3B 2011 Ed aka Young ED 2012 Bud aka Budstruck 2013 Tim Adams aka Plymouthy Adams 2014 Mark aka ggdad1951 and Davin aka Desotodav 2015 Joe Hanely aka 52b3 Joe This guy paints old trucks like me, so I'm happy to see him get the trophy. Truly wish he could make it out to the BBQ this year, and look forward to the day he sez he's bought his ticket, loaded his paint brushes and is on his way! • 2016 Dave aka Dave72dt • Congratulations Dave!!! Look for your trophy in the mail my friend. 48D 6 Quote
pflaming Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 BBQ: Yesterday my grandson asked if he could go with me to the BBQ? Now that is loyalty, start em young, got a grandchild, with Tim's permission, bring them, the open air and open spaces is GREAT for them. I asked Zackary what he remembered, his reply was the ride on the quad with Tim and the big oak tree that he walked out to in the pasture. Will start driving Phoeniz daily now to assure it will make the trip. A trip or two up to the Big Trees will confirm and a AAA Premium Tow ticket in my billfold as back up. Fellows, we need to bring our trucks, the new attentees want to see ALL the trucks, so "start your engines". Got a friend here in Auberry that has a 39 daily driver, I'm working on him to drive up with me. Maybe trailer his behind Phoenix, now that would be a rest stop event! If mine takes a dive, we just trade trucks. See you at the Q 3 Quote
Dave72dt Posted March 16, 2016 Report Posted March 16, 2016 It's difficult to put into words how much an award like this means and to be grouped with such an illustrious bunch is a huge honor. I'll find a prominent place to display it until the "man cave" in the basement is finished and can take it's proper place in the forefront of several other treasured items. The ticket was almost bought this year, on the fence with the decision until my son's house fire in January finalized it for this year. The trip is in the planning stages already, for next year, a milestone event and if needed, I'll pack some sanding blocks and a paint gun. In the meantime, I need to button up an off topic car that's going to turn a few heads when it gets out in public, do some rust repair on a son's truck, get some color on my Mach I and spend some quality time on my truck. It's been pushed back on the "to do" list for too long. I'll send a pic of it's temporary home when it arrives. I guess that's mandatory, and I look forward to following the pics and stories of the event. Thank you again, I feel very honored to receive it. Dave 6 Quote
Jim Shepard Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Ok, it looks like there will be 7 coming in our little group this year - 4 regulars and 3 newbies.

The wind is another story, got some damage to the roof. The B1BQ needs some TLC, the crack weeds are waiting on Brent (lol), mowing the parking lot belongs to John T again, and I'm building a "can" in the shop. No more portapotties.... The trophies are almost done. The 51 Chevy I painted/etc has left....its getting home in time for some family pictures. Checked out our cater's rig....its a big ol' Dodge...he's hired. invited him to the BBQ...he might come... I also caught my woman wearing our wedding ring a few months early...lol. And I got a new hat. Oh, not to mention I have a new Hawk for anyone interested to see....she's a beauty! There are a few new guys stopping by this year....a COE (dodge....47?) a 55 Dodge 1.5 ton and an International. I can't wait for the party to get started...I am sooooo ready!!!! 48D 2 Quote
JBNeal Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 Ya know the Amish have get-togethers of fellowship and barn-raisings, supplied with a hearty meal to keep folks rejuvenated...maybe ya could save some of them chores for when some of them able-bodied fellers wander onto the premises 3 Quote

Reg Evans Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Hey, where's the plumbing vent for the crapper ? Edited March 22, 2016 by Reg Evans Quote
pflaming Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 "Plumbing vent" and the anti explosion device? I installed one in my new garage!!! LOL Quote
DJ194950 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) A deep hole dug and a bucket of dirt to cover deposits. What else is needed when you live way out in the country?! Want fancy?-- a vent to the hole the the fixture sits on that has a open/close valve. Not to close to your well though! Perfect! LOL! Edited March 22, 2016 by DJ194950 Quote
