That's where we got "infected"!!! I'm ready to roll, heater works now, new rear tires, new battery, new muffler and repaired pipe, just one more thing, will put it on a lift and will do a complete inspection. My grandson is coming with me. I'm going to drive him through the delta and have late lunch in Locke. Then late Saturday drive to Groveland for night and home through Yosemite on Sunday. Join us, let's have convoy to the park! Edited March 2, 2018 by pflaming 1 Quote
Los_Control Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 I cant say yes or no, but funny how things can work out. Currently we are sitting in Texas waiting for our house to close so we can move in. Another 2 weeks? Of course we want to spend a couple weeks in the new house, then we are on the road back to WA. Wife said she wants to drive straight across the south through NM, AZ, NV, CA and then up to WA. I think with just a small amount of effort/planning, we would be driving right through the area and stop to visit for a few hours. 1 1 Quote
FlashBuddy Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 For a few hours?! I would expect to spend the night. Air BnB? 1 Quote

48Dodger Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Posted March 19, 2018 Got my vacation time approved......3 weeks.....why???? Cuz you crazy truck people wear me out!!!! 1 week before the show and 2 weeks after to recover! I need it, I'm getting old, 54 years old! I was 43 when I started this incredible event with my incredible friends....now its my favorite time of the year! This is the first time I'm taking this much time off work....what it means is I can spend quality time with all my buddies who stay days before and after the event......I'm a lucky dude. Look forward to seeing you all again this year. And a big shout out to my friend Davin, who hopefully makes it for the THIRD time from Oz in 2020. You can thank him Brent....there will be a Lucky # 13teen....lol Tim aka 48Dodger 2 Quote

Tim aka 48Dodger I really looking forward to being back in 2020 Tim. I would like to spend at least a few of days in your town next trip. I'm hoping to bring the wifey with me on that trip too. We're off to London for a white Christmas this year... and may concentrate on some local trips within Oz in 2019. You guys have strange vacation times over there. It seems that one has to work for the same company for many years to get 4 weeks leave per year - 4 weeks is pretty much the normal here in Oz. I get 6 weeks vacation time each year because of all the night shifts which I am required to do. I reckon that 6 weeks is too long, but I seem to fill in much of my spare time nowadays with charity work! I look forward to seeing many photos from this year's 'Q' and will look on with envy!!! 1 Quote

Here at Cummins its 10 years to get 4 weeks, ot being at a certain grade level (yah 1 lousy grade level above where I'm at now). 3 jobs ago I have 5 weeks, but that was after 15 years. Us American's like to work it seems. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Took me 20 years at this company to get 4 weeks, which is the max. My wife gets 6 weeks where she works. She's been there just about as long as I've been with my employer. (32 years in June) 1 Quote
Don Coatney Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Took me 62 years of hard work to get 52 weeks vacation. 1 1 2 Quote
pflaming Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 So Don, if you started work at age 20, that would make you over 82 years old and counting! Cool! I sincerely wish you many more. Quote

LOL, that look was not from driving the truck....... she is not a fan of having her photo taken, let alone being recorded. side note, our hopes of bringing the truck are diminishing fast..... last year I borrow my neighbors trailer, for this year, I asked him back in November if I could use it again. He recently loaned it out (in January) and he doesn't know when it will be back. sigh, well, that won't happen again.... time to get my own (have a bigger trip in mind for next year) 3 Quote
