All Ford Nationals and Paragon run, (PA) May 2003!!

[Muskrat]

damn it. Should I show my truck? I guess we'll see if I can get 33's under it, then I'll show, I suppose

 

[STEVE-O]

what the hell is snafu? im confussseedd

 

[Doug]

sna·fu ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sn-f) Slang
n. pl. sna·fus
A chaotic or confused situation.

adj.
In a state of confusion or chaos.

Snafu - The carlisle run is going to be a huge snafu

or as an adjective...

Snafu - Lindsy is always in a snafu.

and actually snafu is an acronym from WWII it stands for Situation Normal - All F**ked Up

And if this isnt off topic i dont know what is!

 

[Muskrat]

I prefer to think of this event as FUBARed

 

[Muskrat]

so, steve, technically you are correct in being confused

 

[Diff Whack Daddy]

There is always BOHICA.
Amodern day acranym meaning, Bend Over, Here It Comes Again.

 

[Muskrat]

ok, the Ranger is mobile again, Matt, can I get the tries next week sometime? I guess I should pre reg tor Carlisle

 

[STEVE-O]

hmm guess i was right... I hope spas isnt goin up tp carlisle this weekend... it will be a mess. its the import nationals. if you do go up, be wary of the rice!

 

[X24]

I'm ready to go... got my scoop on and dent from the BB fixed

 

[Spas]

98X24...I..Hate...you....LOL >>still has to get her roof painted and her BB's taken care of, probably not til the week b4 because she is spending so much damn time on these SHIRTS

Namitey, BITE ME
Rat, BITE ME-- both of you keep saying stuff like fubar and snafu and you'll scare everybody away, dummies (speaking of F'ing things up Doug, I trust YOU have gotten land reserved at the Red Ridge campground for over a dozen people on Saturday night, hmmmm???? Or do I have to call?)

Steve, thank you VERY much for that info- I forgot that it was import weekend (RICE HUNTING! MWA HA HA...oh wait, I have to take my Mom's Saturn because my truck still needs the tranny fixed-again, no time or money because of the shirts....Guys, this went from costing me a little bit of money to costing a lot of money and time-- please stop asking for more? It's really only meant for Explorer owners, nothing special)

 

[Spas]

I'm still going to go up there because this needs to be done, but I also need to know how many people are going on FRIDAY NIGHT so I know HOW MANY ROOMS TO RESERVE. I think I'll just ask for 5 rooms with double beds in each (works out to 4 people a room so no crowding, and it'll be between $25-35 per person)

Is that okay with everybody?? Or do you just want me to post the hotel's # and you can call yourself?

 

[Asilly50NJ]

HEy thanks Spas for working on this whole deal. What ever you get is fine wit me,...i dont care if i gotta sleep in the truck or bed or on the foor or even a chair..........

Careful, they might just take you up on that

Update

1) Undecided
2) Yes
a) Yes, hopefully something stock height with 31s is fine??? :exp:
b) If yes to a, then no to b
3) Still need to get a campground site and decide on Carlisle. Within driving distance so hotel isn't a concern per se. If I don't do Carlisle, I'll try to catch you all for dinner/etc., in the evenings anyhow.


I've recently bought the 31" spare(cha-ching), a CB(cha-ching) but still need to get a K40 antennae (cha-ching) and am trying to locate it somewhat locally, vice online ordering.

 

[Muskrat]

I don't like sea food



Hey, Spas, you started it, and who was supposed to call RR, Doug? I sure as hell don't recall being recruited for it Hey, y'all be happy to know that I have suspension up front finally, my truck isn't sitting on the bump stpos any more

 

[X24]

Well, ya know I'm gonna be there Friday. You sure we're gonna need 5 rooms?? That seems like over kill... unless there's 20 people going Friday.

 

[X24]

Just a quick questions for Saturday night... Are we gonna be somewhere where the Ford Explorer Forcefield is active? I just want to make sure that flying objects are deflected before they hit my truck.

I'll probably try to touch base with someone shortly just to ensure I'm properly geared up. You can check the gear/vehicle at my website, but basically I have (some of these are carried for the hec of it):
31" spare, Fire Ext., First Aid Kit, 50' Sturdy Line, A tow rope, Mini-shovel, Flashlight, CB (w/spare power pack), Tarp, Water

Needed for Paragon:

CB
Tow strap
fire ext.
f aid kit
front AND rear tow hook or hitch
full size spare (or close)
Paragon Flag ($2=$15 depending on type, available at paragon)

and most of all some common sence.... your going to an offroad park, your going to be 4 wheeling on rocks, dirt, etc.... EXPECT MINOR SCRAPES AND DENTS, if you dont get any, good, but if you go there not expecting to get any and do, it sux for everyone when ya get pissed. If there is a problem with your trucks drivetrain, please fix it befor you wheel it, I dont want to find out about pre-exsisting problems halfway through the day when it breaks all the way (eg: "It was making a weird sound for some time now, I knew it was going to eventually break"). We will be wheeling from 9am till 5pm. bring lunch and enough to drink (no alcohol).

I need to know how many people are actually showing up for Paragon, definites only please!!! Ill take care of organizing that circus, but I will need to know how many trucks will be wheeling.

 

[Spas]

rotflmao at 98X24 Don't worry dude, they'll hit the Skunk and the Tool long before they reach our trucks Or if it's a bird, it'll home in on Matt's truck

As for overkill, this is the way I see it:

GOING on friday night:

Spas (1 pal)
Lizard
98FordX24
Namitey
Muskrat (probably bringing a pal)
99Sport
ExplornJ
ASilly50
Das Frem (1 pal?)
YobYeknom (bringing 3 people)
JDraper (?)
JoshC (?)

I know there's more than that going to be there, and with just who I've listed we have 18 people already 4 people per room (well, Matt is getting just a room for him and his pal, I think), you do the math...

I have no problem using my name and credit card # to reserve rooms, I've done it before for eXtremeXplorers and we all just paid our share when the night was over.

Doug, when you've calmed down from your recent..uhm..agreivance, please make sure we have enough campground space for everyone and find out how much it is.
Shaun, get that Ranger done and registered, boy! I just registered my truck

Leaving for Carlisle right now to scout around and come up with a feasable schedule that'll work for everybody!

>>wish me luck and hope that no ricers attack my Explorer! lol <<

Aaaahhh, they just add character

I'll be there with the oversized ATV in tow (now with 3/16" thick steel diamond plate rocksliders ). Bringing wife and kid too. I'll be staying at my place Saturday night since it's kinda on the way to Paragon from Carlisle. I'll be meeting y'all there in the morning.



Lindsy, I won't be staying at Carlisle on Friday night. It's only about an hour and a quarter from my house to Carlisle so I'm staying here.
