:-laf Bwaaahahaha. Now THAT is funny.

We did have a skunk living under ours, he peeked out one afternoon but we came to an agreement. We wouldn't bother him and he wouldn't bother us.

Mike.

Nice! LOL That could have had you in your won group for the tours with the way you guys would have smelled.

GREAT pics!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Do you know who some of those people are in your pics such that you can put some names with faces? I've not had the privelage yet to meet you guys, so I'm maybe a little in the dark here. I sure would like to get up that way for a meet next year.

Did you take pictures of your crew cab work in progress to show everybody?

No, only person I know is Busted arm Benny... . :-laf


Yes, I know a good majority of them but I will let them speak up as I know some don't want to be associated with their pic on the internet hence the reason for not labeling them in the first place.

I had a single photo with me but I never showed it as most knew of it from the thread here and secondly I was practically swarmed when I finished parking the 1990! :-laf Seems that truck drew a crowd as well!

Special pricing for TDR Rally on Cabins 1 and 2, $49. 00 per night. They have bigger ones as well.

Cabin 1 and 2 are laid out as shown.

Cabin 3 and 4 have a little more room, same sleeping arrangement plus a kitchen table.

Cabin 5 and 6 have two rooms with a kitchen table.

Bathroom and showers are 500' away and are very clean.

We did have a skunk living under ours, he peeked out one afternoon but we came to an agreement. We wouldn't bother him and he wouldn't bother us.
He liked music from what we could tell and we were very careful not to come upon a disco station on the radio or he surely would have sprayed.
I would not have blamed him if the Bee Gee's were playing... ... .

We figured that he was a built-in security system.

Mike.

OH, man, that just makes it hurt that much more... ... :{ :{ :{

Skunk!?!? Dang... . I'm the kind that can't leave them alone..... He'd have sprayed, and I'd have stunk (worse than normal), but he'd have had a hole in his head..... Too many run-ins with them to leave them alone..... I'm like the dog everyone hates to pet but loves to have around when the coyotes or skunks are after the chickens.....

Anyone try the fishing?!?! Fresh water right there, ya know... ... .

Nice cabins..... and even nicer scenery !


Reminds me of the "jason the teenager slaughtering monster" that lived in an area that looked just like that.

You bring your hockey mask ?

I thought that was who was sitting on the porch swing?!? Isn't his hockey mask in the bag??

I'm the guy on the right. Do I look Canadian eh ? I'll let the other 2 decide if they want to admit who they are since they are now known to have been seen in public talking to me :-laf

I could be wrong but I think its safe to say the arm chair wrapped around the one fellas neck is a dead giveaway...

Yes, that's me with the wide load strapped to my left arm. I got rid of it last Tuesday BTW, you talk about 6 very long weeks with that thing on ya'... .



Center goober is my son, Seth. He is twice the Diesel Nerd that I am.



At work, he is called "Captain Carbon Monoxide" as a result of his eagerness to modify diesel exhaust systems. From a Ram owner wanting stacks to a Peterbilt owner doing an upgrade to 8" straight pipes he is on it.

Stay away from the two gentlemen from Maine; they will cost you money. Mike and Seth showed off their $10 Walmart tire repair to me and the DW. Will my DW and I were to leave Ceraland camp ground on Tuesday morning. I got in the truck to hook up to the 5er the TPMS was on, dinged only once. Got out the tire pressure gage and found the driver side rear tire low at 45 psi. Looked for the reason and found a screw in the outer side wall tread. Tire could not be repaired had to be replaced.
Do you know how hard it is too find a LT265/70/17E rated tire on Tuesday morning and need to tow home that day? Only one tires store in Columbus IN had one, bought a new tire for $245 mounted and balanced.

[RSchwarzli]

That sucks.

Maybe a needed to be there moment, but how did their $10 fix cost you money? Was it their screw? LOL Not following!

No, I think Jim is saying that our having a tire fixed put a jinx on his... ...



We picked up what appeared to be a roofing nail in the left rear tire on the NY Thruway right around Syracuse. After some head scratching we decided to leave it be as long as the tire held air and would deal with it when we arrived in Columbus. It made the trip but Wednesday morning it was showing signs of going slack. We tried a tire outfit close to the Dodge dealer, they informed us that they couldn't get to it until FRIDAY..... No thanks.....

I told Seth to drive over to Wally World as I had noticed that they had a tire and lube out back. They told me that they would do a plug/patch for $10. 00 period. I said "Hell Yes!!" and handed over the keys. What the kid finally pulled out of there after 3 trips to his toolbox was a 5/16" x 1" bolt... .



So tire removed, dismounted, bolt removed, plug patch, mounted back on the rim, spin balanced, back on truck and torqued to 135 ft lbs. for $10. 00.



Jim gets a little screw in his and he has to buy a tire. That's why he thinks that we are trouble... ... ... . :-laf



Mike.

 

[RSchwarzli]

Ah! LOL That makes more sense! :-laf

Not a bad deal for $10..... LOL The bolt if you kept it is almost worth that!

 

[mwilson]

Oh yes, I saved it!!! Now a pocket trinket along with my lucky half dollar... ...

Mike.

 

[Jim W]

Yes, they did put a JINX on my truck; first time I ever had a screw in the outer tread in a somewhat new tire, less than 10K on the Michelin. Wallmart did not even have any E rated tire in stock that would fit the truck. I called one tire store and the clerk wanted to sell me a P-metric tire said it would work. I kept telling the clerk it is a pick-up truck pulling a 5th wheel and he said it would still work. Oh will go figure!
Here is a picture of my tire with screw in it.

:-laf I used to carry a broken flywheel bolt out of my former '01 around in my pocket as a good luck piece. Why I carried something like that around after all the frustration it caused, I have no idea.

Not yet. That is the next item I am keeping a eye out for in good condition at a reasonable price..... tired of goobers mounting my tires and paying them $20 to balance them wrong.....
