convoy

Hey all I came across this thread only yesterday and think this whole idea is awesome!!! I told a couple of my buddies who have furds and they never heard of such a get together!! Anyway i am going to try like heck to get in this convoy. I will be comming over from Newburgh NY taking 84 east it is about a 45 min drive to Danbury from there. Could you guys give me an idea of how far from Danbury your first stop and meet is so I can leave myself enough time!! I am really pysched for this even though I don't know anyone!! as for mods I could use a hand installing my Banjo bolts and maybe getting my FP gauge hooked up I just need to find a stainless line with 1/8 female npt fittings before sat. So put me down as a definate maybe! LOL and do we need any portable heaters? I think I can get my hand on a couple if we will be working outdoors as well. Thanks guys!!

You could meet me in Danbury if you're coming for sure and we could caravan to the first stop. Or not.....

alright, we can go to the CRAPPER BARREL!!!



I guess I can drink coffee, and maybe a muffin of sumthin

 

[Wheaties]

Torque, you have to be the only person who doesn't like breakfast at the CB. It's breakfast, you know?, breakfast!! Americans do breakfast in more ways than just about any country in the world. Don't like eggs? Go with pancakes, or waffles, or french toast, or hash, or cereal, cream of wheat, oatmeal, grits, biscuits and gravy (MMM!), corn bread, toast with jam, bagels and cream cheese, bagels and lox, english muffins, bacon, sausage, or steak. And that excludes the eggs. How many ways are there to have eggs if you do like em?



If you know a place that does a better breakfast, I'd like to hear about it.

Give Scott a call, there's a guy in his area that sells and tune's radios. He makes house calls. Many of us have small Uniden's, just a basic radio that costs around $60, plus about $25 for cable antenna, and mount. It's an inexpensive BOMB, you could do yourself... !?

WHOA!!! Back the breakfast train up



I really am not a big breakfast person, I usually only drink a cup of coffee, and sometimes a buttered roll.



Guys, go to the Barrel, I'll join ya, don't worry.



FireChick, I think I have a CB with a cigarette adapter and magnetic antenna, if I find it, you can have it!!
