I'm out for the count, and not amused. Work has interfered, and there is no two stepping around it so home I must stay. Enjoy, be safe, and send pictures please!
i'm pulling my hair out...
Sorry MP. Not much more to say. Buiz, leave that thing at home, if you have to, but get up to Tennessee.
I had a complete technology melt-down yesterday, all of which I rely on heavily for my business. I almost stood up and said f-it, and got on the road. Still, not that far from it, but first to the Verizon store for a fricking, temporary phone...
Nothing is going to get between me and A-Dock...
i'll be there.... after 2 1/2 days, 8 6V batteries, miles of wiring, I think I found the problem on page 382 of the service manual this morning.... :big:Quote:

Me neither. I still dont have a boat. My wife has got our son now and we cant all go. I had a giant amount of work for a due diligence next Tuesday dropped on me two days ago. JeeezQuote:

I just bought another boat (aww $hit--red boat row gets one bigger) but the trailer has no chance to be ready in time for this trip.
When I first talked to Hedge over a week ago, it sounded like there were plenty of boats for the Gorge weekend. But it sounds like there's been a fair amount of attrition since then, so I have no feel if there's room to hitch a ride.
So, if anyone has a sense of whether there are enough boats that I should hop in the car and just do it, let me know ASAP either way. I will confirm my room and be down tomorrow afternoon. (And will likely have space for a couple more people, if anyone is stuck with a campsite or anything like that.) If the answer is we're short of space, no worries, I will just wait for another event.
Thanks,
Mike
Mike, I am sure there will be plenty of seats. Between Stan, Andre, Bill, Brian (hopefully), Jim, Cliff, Phil, Parnell, and god knows who else, there should be plenty of seats. For example, not speaking for them by any means, Stan and Susan should have seats and I know Cliff will have some seats. Jim will have seats also. I think Parnell is coming solo also. We will tie you to a deck if we have too..... :) I bring gas money, but no one has ever taken any even though I offer. Doesn't hurt to keep some in your pocket to help out with whatever boat you end up in. Plus, Susan could use and official hat holder.
Get your ass down there! :)
not bringing my boat, but there will be plenty of open seats....
wussy.... :)Quote:

Probably testing at dusk Boat is going to be a mess but who cares if I get there.
DW I owe you a ride sorry its not the 21 but you might find my 16 to be interesting after owning one.
Travel safe everyone.
Parnell
Okay, my arm is plenty twisted. I'll be down tomorrow afternoon, maybe in the 3 -6 range.
If anyone needs a place to crash, they said my "rustic cabin" sleeps up to 7. Supposedly, it is a 2 min walk from A-dock...maybe that's 4 minutes if you're weaving.
I will bring plenty of beer and gas money, and a steak for the grill night.
Is there anything else that would be a help? More side dishes? Desserts? Cups/plates/napkins/utensils? Anything?
Mike
Rum for Bushwhackers.
That's easy to do. Preferred brand/style?Quote:

I looked at a bunch of Bushwacker recipes online and I have seen all sorts of different variations. Not sure what a proper A-dock Bushwacker employs...
I am planning on arriving Sat am for the run and cookout.
Mike, PM sent.
Yes:grin:Quote:

If you need help getting her squared away, I am ready to hop in the bildge at anytime, just say the word. Great place for getting a Donzi dialed in, you will be surrounded by gear heads and donzi nuts......... :)

I'll be down on A-dock singing Feliz Navidad. Looking forward to it.
Mike
Holy Cow ! (That's great news!) Friday noonish...with "Feliz Navidad" bells on ! ;)
Probably more towards 3-4ish if you don't want to wear that t-shirt that long. ;) But do remind me....;)
Trailer brake issues will hopefully be resolved by then, (some steep mtns between here & there) but will be there either way.....ready to "dial it up a bit " ! :) :h3:
Phil
Dre and I are here. We were going to hang in Nashville last night but decided that it would be good to get rolling. Come find us at the Roamer!
Hoping to leave town around 5 which would put me there around 7. That is, of course, if I would stop goofing off and get my work done! Will call you this afternoon, Hedge.
I'm a real problem solver!Quote:

Come on the rest of you...see you soon.
Life is gooood! :) :)
What a dang good time. Hedge is in the airport flying out to work but the party is still going on. I want to thank everyone that attended. The run got a little bigger this year and would not have been the same without help fro some key individuals. Who to thank? Basically everyone. There was not a sole there that the not help in some way. That is what made it a great run. Every time I turned around someone was doing something or buying something. W had a GREAT group of people. I was certainly busy but am more than happy to kick off the third annual Gorge run next year!
No man, THANK YOU for all the hard work. You throw a hell of a shin dig. It was a truely epic time and event! Can't wait till next year!
I saw some of the behind the scenes logistics opportunties, especially with the race gas, and the extra effort was greatly appreciated. End result was trading drive-bys with Tex and Dre all the way back from Goose Pond and some very memorable moments on the water, without having to worry about running out of fuel.
This was just one example of a great weekend. The Gorge Run rocks. And it's the people that really make it.
Thanks Bill.
