The people and friends i made over the years was the real reason i kept going back. I am very grateful for everything tim does and all the great people ive met because of this BBQ. You dont need to bring a truck to enjoy someones company and have a conversation. If its more economical to drive a modern ecobox this year, nobody is going to judge you for doing so. my $.02 3 1 Quote

John-T-53 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Posted March 27, 2018 The lawn WILL be mowed, I'll see to it! ...and the RR ties stacked. 2 Quote
48Dodger Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Posted March 28, 2018 The dang thing is getting CLOSE! Thought it would be a good time to show off some trophies from the past. Its not like most car show stuff where there is a lot politics, its just my way of saying thank you for stopping in and spending time with everyone. If you got a trophy, share it and tell the story.....I plan on saving pictures and posting them at the BBQ so have some fun! Don't be shy, put yourself in the picture if you can...you earned it for Pete's sake!! The 2018 "Wish You Were Here" award will follow in a few days!! 48D 2 Quote
pflaming Posted March 28, 2018 Report Posted March 28, 2018 My first trophy melted in my shop fire, this is my 2nd one. That is Chloe our granddaughter. 4 Quote
Brent B3B Posted March 28, 2018 Report Posted March 28, 2018 2016 we were given "longest distance" (on the front table next to the Coke can) last year we were given a couple...... " tough trucker" for me and "best in progress" for Julie. I was very excited about both awards until we got home and Julie made sure hers was just a little bit higher on the shelf 1 year later and I think I am offended! 5 1 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 Likely all I'll ever be able to garner Wish You Were Here Longest Distance Traveled Friend of the BBQ 2 Quote
Desotodav Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 I am proud to possess awards for the categories of 'longest distance travelled', 'wish you were here', and 'friend of the BBQ' from 2014 and 2017. I live about 10,000 miles from the BBQ, so I guess that I make that decision easy for Tim when I do travel across the pond to the BBQ . See y'all back there in 2020. 2 Quote

tom'sB2B Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 I gots me mine! So if the truck takes a dump in route this year, I can tell the tow truck driver all about my trophy. 1 1 Quote
Merle Coggins Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) I can't find a picture of mine. I'm sure I have one somewhere. 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... Edited March 30, 2018 by Merle Coggins 1 Quote

B1B Keven Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 Just a heads up. I told a customer to go to the BBQ. His name is Cordell and he's over in the Napa valley. He's got a '59 Tucker Sno-Cat. Tucker used the running gear and gauges from Dodge trucks. He's also looking at a 2 ton '48-'50 truck near him to haul the Sno-Cat. 2 Quote
Brent B3B Posted April 3, 2018 Report Posted April 3, 2018 WOW, I don't know how do you guys do it! dare I say, awesome forecast........ 1 Quote

greg g Posted April 3, 2018 Report Posted April 3, 2018 Well I guess we should have planned better. We will be traveling in your neck of the woods for 10 days starting on the 21st of April. Arriving SF then touring north to Yosemite area, then south down to Palm Desert at the end of the trip. My brother wants to 4 wheel out to some GPS co ordinants in the dessert to take some pictures of the Milky Way through time lapse and a specially rented lens. As for me, I would rather sit by afire with a couple adult beverages. Afraid we will be missing the world renowned tailgate party, are their any other semi cultural events going on in the region that might be on our must do,must see list? Quote 1 Quote

Sorry to hear it Greg......there will still be a few more BBQ's thanks to the help of many on this site.....and you're always welcome to stop by, say hello, and check out the digs for next year! 48D Quote
48Dodger Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Posted April 4, 2018 The rain (believe it or not!) has made the clean up process difficult...so I hope y'all love (lawn) grass...lol. The BBQ is almost here.... as it always happens, 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 2016 Dave aka Dave72dt 2017 Rob aka Dodge4ya This year, its a guy who has every post logged, filed, tagged, or I'm sure, memorized! You can never be sure how many trucks he actually has, because I believe he's like the rest of us and has enough pieces stashed away to actually build another truck. He's always willing to offer a link to a well thought out post he made/read, or share new insight on a recent experience. Its always been the best part about the trucksite, I think, people's abilities to share ideas, and he has been great about it! You can't help but notice when someone puts in an effort like that and I hope he has many more posts to share in the long haul. So here's to you! • 2018 JBNeal • Congratulations Sir!!! Look for your trophy in the mail my friend. 48D 7 Quote
