It's not looking any better for me to make it either. The rigs brake issues haven't been fully repaired yet, and it has to pass inspection as it failed. Tags are no good and without a waiver, it can't get renewed.

I might just come out to camp and hangout tho.

The weather is starting to get real nice for this. Wish I wasn't going to be unpacking into my new house that whole weekend. Ugh, jeeeeep is running lol so would have been fun.

 

[jakebrake]

The whole dang platoon is dropping like flies! Stay strong men we will hold our line at the battle of SMORR. Fight the good fight, come wheel with us.

 

[gmanpaint]

Got my camp site locked in. Will be at site 28.
Def bringing a tent heater. The overnight temps of late in MO have been in the low 40's

 

[jakebrake]

I will be bringing a 32 foot enclosed trailer that we will try and keep a heater going in so if any one is about to freeze to death there should be plenty of floor space to warm up!

 

[crazyflights]

Thats big ole trailer...

 

[obie]

Well, I'm confirmed out. Trac got broadsided today and tore the whole front right suspension and driveline up, and I'm probably gonna be fighting the other guys insurance for a while to make sure they replace it with exactly what I specify.

Pretty pissed because I was going to post today that I was a confirmed in, budgeted everything I needed to set aside for this and got my vacation time approved yesterday.

 

[Rick]

Well dang that just sucks... Sounds like you came out of it better than the truck, thankfully. I hope you get it all resolved quickly.

 

[UrbanRedneckKid]

Bad bad news. I completely grenaded my front axle today, pin and spiders let loose, and took out everything, even the housing.

Don't hold me to it, but I may be a "maybe"...

anyone have a EB 44 housing?

It's confirmed. I'm not gunna make it. Just couldn't fund all the new parts and the trip. Sorry guys, we were really hoping to try and stretch for it, but it's just not possible.

On the plus side, I switch jobs this Wednesday! Way more pay, I'll be in for the next run.

Well I guess I need to look in here more often as I have an E/B 44 out in the back 40 under a v8 SAS ranger. But take it you don't need one now lol

 

[gmanpaint]

Almost time!

An off road shop & sponsor of the park has just made a bunch of their products available at the park. Greene County Offroad is based out of OK and has stocked a bunch of cool gear for sale at the front office. I cant wait to see what their offering

Oh, for those that are using air mattresses in the tents, bring something like a rug or foam to place under it. The ground is cold, as it has been lower 40's overnight now and we have a cold front pushing down from upper Canada that will bring some chilly weather in the near future.

I will wheel Pugly a bit, but wouldn't mind a ride in someones rig for the harder trails if someone would be so nice to let me

Jake, if you have any extra TTB D35 axles left from your old set up, I could sure use them in case I snap one at the park. I do not have a spare, and that would not be good to be stuck out there. LOL! Really wish I had a lunchbox locker to throw in the 8.8 for this run.

 

[4pullingGM]

How did I miss this? The explorer is down and I'm going to be traveling for work next week so I won't have time to patch'er up. Ya'll have fun

 

[Twiztid]

hope you all are bringing your winter gear with you as it's going to be down around 31 degrees here tonight in springfield Friday 56/38 sat. 62/42
just a little heads up folks and i'm 45 minutes from the park so bring you carr-harts

 

[Turdle]

With regret I must bow out--again

Just too many things going on around here. You guys have fun.

 

[Rick]

Jon, sorry to hear that you won't be able to make the run. I know there's a lot going on in your life right now... Hang in there my friend.

To the rest, have a great time at SMORR and be safe. We'll be thinking about you at Truck Haven this weekend

We need to get Skype setup between our camps! If you get cell coverage out there, PM me with the Skype info and we'll try to do an EF run video conference

 

[Twiztid]

Up in the air what way i'm going Jon, as i have been informed that the Cape Girardeau, Missouri job is a go and that i will have to do the driver escort duty starting first thing friday morning and it's a 12 hour haul round trip if nothing breaks down on me and i don't have to do road side repairs. and i have to rear steer the mechanical hdy. trailer and that one was 82 feet long 10 foot wide and we pour those double Tee's up to 120 feet. drive that thing up a mountain side snake path in the morning without any coffee lmao

 

[jakebrake]

Sad to see so many out.. Shawn and I will be arriving Friday in the late afternoon. SMORR is always a good time with challenging and capable runs for everyone. How about a roll call, any one going to join me this weekend?

 

[obie]

Damn. Today was the day I was supposed to be driving down, but the truck is still in the shop for another week and a half at least. Have fun fellas, hopefully see ya'all next year.

it's up in the air if i will be able to make it, but i'm only 45 minutes away. really wanted Spark'saflying to make this run, in memory of Mark

 

[jakebrake]

The roll call is important because if no one is going I MIGHT make a change of direction and head a little further south! If I don't see any one on here don't expect to see me there, in other words... No hard feelings just a much larger event taking place I could use the opportunity to attend instead!
