I got a "Wish You Were Here" one year, and a "Long Distance Traveled" another year. And now that I think about them, they may still be in a box after my move a couple years ago. I'm going to have to dig them out and get them back on display. edit: Found the pic from the old house... Hey, I see George Carlin, Dave Barry, and John Jerome....good reading material! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollyDodge Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Dolly Dodge has plans to attend. Still working on getting a trailer for her. UHaul won't rent one to me for her. I have one lined out that friend said I can use. I will have to go over and back in a day, but at least she will make one of the BBQs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 With my lift safety check, and my successful mountain road test behind me, today I felt worthy to attach the forum indents. I put one in the window to remind me of the membership privilege and the one on the tailgate a bit askew beside the recycle icon to remind those who follow that I recycle and that perfection is not a prerequisite to this hobby, but active participation is! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48Dodger Posted April 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Can't wait to see The Phoenix mobile again, and to finally see Dolly up close! ITS LESS THEN A WEEK AWAY!!!! WHOHOO!!!! I've been fighting the weather...the grass is frickin TALL...lol I'm hoping Friday that JohnT can give it one last go over before Saturday. The Ranch is what it is after all this glorious rain, and I only apologize if you hate beautiful green grass.... Oh, and Brent is gonna freak when he sees how much grass is growing in the sidewalk cracks.....better sharpen my screwdrivers....:D Its a bit of crazy that hits this place just before the big day, this year is no different.....I hope everyone likes trucks, cuz they gonna be some trucks. We all like cars, there's gonna be some of those too, old ones. Oh, and thars gonna be some COE's stopping by too.....so lock down your sled, cuz one of those haulers might just take your rig fer a ride.....lol. Time to mow.....I can hear the grass growing from here! 48D Edited April 8, 2018 by 48Dodger 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Tim, don't worry about the ranch environment tidiness. If you did nothing to the yard, and had us park our vehicles in the pasture across the fence, we would still come. The even is about the people and the stories about their vehicles. For example, the elderly gentleman from Washington who drove his stock '47 1.5 ton truck the full distance, seems he passed on the next year, and the fantastic old totally restored 'late '30's trucks with the 500 hp engines build by a "salty" dog truck driver, and Brets trucks from Oregon, or the young man who drove nonstop from Wisconsin, and of course our mate from down under, and "Tom, and Dick, and Harry! And finally Hillary mentioned that she lost because she DIDN'T attend! So not to worry, we are coming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48Dodger Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Some of the crew are flying in TOMORROW NIGHT....this Q just got REAL!!! Been fighting through this rain, cool weather, wind without help of extra hands! My kids grew up and are living their own lives... My Bay Area son, Zac will be manning the burger truck again this year with his long time buddies Frankie and Justin. But my youngest daughter moved to Arizona, following her College Graduation.....she found a great job and plans to come home for visit, AFTER the BBQ.....sigh. My oldest lives 4 miles away (has the grand kids) but is so busy with her own family life, I can only sneak my butt in there as a babysitter once in a while...lol. Me and Steph do a pretty darn good job. The weather: It's a gonna be 75 degrees, a few clouds and a bunch of old trucks......its a gonna be a nice! So I'm getting old and tired I guess, so trust me......I can't wait to see y' all and get this party STARTED! Tim aka 48Dodger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"On the Road Again, Can't Wait Toget On the Road Again" !!! Update: I'm loaded up and ready to roll. Will drive to San Juan Baptista to pick up my dune buggy frame, then turn north to Tims. Each drive is about 2 1/2 hours. I've got some must see stops along the way so should be fun. Edited April 12, 2018 by pflaming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Haymond Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 After missing a couple of years I am looking forward to returning this year. Today I gassed up my 1950 Plymouth, checked the tire pressure and oil level. Saturday morning I will drive up from Fresno with a grin upon my face. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonejacklarry Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) I am sorry that I will be unable to make it to the party. Is there a volunteer that would drink a beer, or two, for me?

Todd B Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Have fun guys, sorry I had to cancel at the last minute. We wrapped up two of three projects so I actually am glad I stayed home. Although we have 12” of snow coming over the weekend which sucks. Enjoy the cheese. 10 year cheddar is my favorite but don’t eat to much. You won’t poop for a week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
