Richloam State Park - Near Tampa

[FMExplorer]

Hey guys,
Another Florida run is in the making... The last Saturday in August (yeah - we're planning way ahead!) we will be out there. Should be lots of dirt and gumbo to get really cruddy in

If you don't want to get your truck dirty, c'mon along and ride shotgun! We should have a pre-run done in a few weeks to get a feel for things...

Keep me posted on the prerun..Who knows, I might be able to get away...

 

[rockylaurence]

Prerun Yeh!!

Jon, let me know when you Prerun. I haven't gotten out since Mutual Mine and I'm getting itchy.
It would be nice just to get out and get drty,even if it's only for an afternoon.
Jon, are you going to have the Lift installed by then? How's your shoulder doing?
Mike, have you started your lift yet?

Lest go DIG-N
:smoke:

 

[mdrut]

Nope, not yet..Hey, anytime you want to get dirty, just give a yell..The mine is FULL of water, you wanna do a day run there or Richloam, just yell...I'm always ready to get dirty......

Hey,

Just got back from vacation in tenn.

I was riding over to my sisters 4:00 in the morning.bam bang bang towed it to my sisters.Got a late start on are vacation.Pulled the tranny yesterday.The tranny is shot.Checking on trannys now.Don't know how long before I can get it back together.

 

[mdrut]

I hate to hear that..You know you're always welcome to ride along..Where did you go in Tn., that is my home state...

 

[FMExplorer]

Hey guys,
I won't have the lift in because I won't have the strength back in my arm until mid-late September. I can, however, drive and get dirty! I'll see what I can do about getting up there to make a run in the next few weeks - a lot of studying for the new job right now...

I'm going this Saturday

I relocated my Drive train vents today. I routed them back and up into the rear tail light cuby. It's all at about 5 feet and I have a loop at the end.
Mike; where do you want to meet? Is there a Gas station or Resteraunt? Is anyone else going to make it?
PS I must have lost my registration at the other Forum.

Rocky,
I don't think I can make the pre-run this weekend. I have an Auburn LS on the way that I will be installing Saturday. Get some good stories for us!

[rockylaurence]

One better

Jon; you always have to do "One-Better". I install $10.00 worth of hose and fittings for relocating the vents on my X and you have to Install a (Mega-buc)L/S in your Explorer! A coincidence--I don'tthink so! Smile...
Really!? That's great.. Are you doing it yourself? Do you have the Ford L/S in there now or is it open? The install of the Locker in the front of mine was the single biggest improvement I've made. Good Luck:smoke:

 

[FMExplorer]

Hey Rock!

I got the LS for 180 - 6months old. I'm going to do the install myself - seems pretty easy. If it arrives by Friday, I may do it that night and just show up Saturday. If it doesn't arrive I may show up too! So don't count me out yet...

[mdrut]

Keep your fingers crossed, I hope to get the hooks on Friday evening..As much rain as we have had up here, there is no way I'm gonna go into new territory without them..

 

[mdrut]

Ok peoples, 2 weeks and counting...lets get a head count...I'm in..

 

[FMExplorer]

I'm in - will have a friend riding shotgun too...

BTW - What time do we want to meet? 9:30?

Jon, are those pictures of your swamp buggy in the other thread?
You gonna finally get the lift put on and stop playing around? LOL You started a new job? Does this mean you aren't jockeying customers around anymore in your ex?Or did you get them some boots to wear? HA!

Ok, enough.. I'll stop...for now anyways..Glad to see the club is out and about. Ya'll have fun.Later

 

[FMExplorer]

Jeff,
I will post this weekend. Yes - I started a new job - with Morgan Stanley. I was due to be on the 61st floor of the South TOwer in 6 weeks. That's square where the 2nd plane hit.

BTW - The swamp buggy doesn't smell much anymore

Are they going to be able to recover from their loss? I heard some companies had all their people and information in those towers, so their company will just be gone. I am glad to see you are still with us. Does this put your working for them on hold or are you just going to go to another office(ie. another city or a temp location in NYC)?

 

[FMExplorer]

Morgan Stanley as a company is as storng as ever. We had all of our retial operations backed up off site - and done at numerous intervals throughout each day. As far as our company is concerned, there is no financial disaster - only human.

As far as my training goes - They are obviously going to move the site - we just aren't sure where to yet...
