TDR Episode One (Members Saga .... You could be next!)

[Diesel Freak]

Planet ISB59 where they will pay retribution by pouring Hot Molten Iron into castings that will be later used on "real" powerplants.



Later that day... ...



Under the cover of a captured Duramax Cruiser with a blown head gasket we approached Darth Vader's Evil Starship.



"Men, we only have one chance to free Sled Puller from his sentence of death in the Bilge"



Once on board the Evil Starship, I call upon my Second In Command: Nowell "HVAC Thomas, who specializes in fighting the Storm Troopers and their Powerstroke Laser Swords, to lead the Insertion Force with his Twin Turbo Red Rocket which I had just mounted two GE Mini Guns on the Cab.



The ensuing Carnage of Black Soot, Hot Lead, and Storm Trooper body parts was enough to make a seasoned veteran like myself a little misty eyed at the thought of imenant victory.



Suddenly the Dark Lord himself appeared... ... but not alone. He had Sled Puller under guard and in shackles with a Powerstroke Laser Sword to his throat... ... . Someone had clued the enemy to our plans. I was suddenly struck to the grownd by a sharp blow to my left shoulder... looking up, I saw... .

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

TMTT running around tryin' to tie up the loose ends where Diesel Freak left off. So anyways He looked up and saw Steve St. Laurent brandishing what was once a power strip that had all of the TDR servers plugged into it. With lightning fast reflexes Steve started to .....

...be really late posting, and thereby,

leave TMTT in the "Lurch" reciting his favorite passionate exclamation "You Rang, Baybeee, YOOOUUURANNNNG"...



while the other TDR bad boys said "Tim, :--) we had no idea"

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

... ... yell at Rich M for posting out of turn .

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Oh Steve St. ... . Wer'e waiting!

 

[jmeehan]

Powered by refried bean's exhausting out of the nearly stock (for now) exhaust, 85cj poaches the thread.

With his twin fender mounted . 50's and flowing (for now) red hair the gallantly virile wannbe hero blasts into the cab of the eviiil doooers tracter on the way to planet ISB59 to highjack the whole bloody mess and crash on the nearest planetoid...

With a blinding flash and huge thunder clap of nothingness we hear "uh. . where are we?... Steve? has anyone seen Steve?... "

 

[Sled Puller]

Actually, Sled Puller was busy driving around the country to cancled events, but nobody could get word to him becuase he is too cheap to buy a cell phone.



You guys should announce this in the other events, I never saw it.

 

[Diesel Freak]

Eegads! Sled Puller was AWOL!



In the midst of all the Carnage it was actually Steve that Darth Vader was about to skewer. . no wonder we cant find him!

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Oh my gawd whaddlwedooo? I know we can call BigDig to dig us out of this mess.

 

[BIGDIG]

Meanwhile back at HOOTERS ,the lights dim,then the floor rumble-n-splits open, a bright light comes beaming up from the depths and rising with a harem of barn chicks,wearing nothing but chaps,boots and straw hats, comes BIGDIG. Rushing out the door with his FARM IMPLEMENTS not far behind,fires up his Kubota M5030 with a 24v cummins and heads for planet ISB59,while coming out of hyperspace he finds himself in what appears to be a meteor shower of Duramax parts,and some turbo parts that where spooled into outerspace at the sled pulls in Muncie Indiana. LOOK yells one of the barnchicks,isn't that Steve St. Laurent?

 

[BIGDIG]

Oops,post delay due to satellite interuption... ...

Yes that is Steve,BIGDIG to Toolman,BIGDIG to Toolman come-in!

 

[ToolManTimTaylor]

Big Dig , it seems our radio connections are weak and being jammed by the edge Pulse machine! We need someone who has vast computer knowledge that can start working on the pulse modulation frequency. I will radio out to Wheaties while you try to keep contact with Steve. In the meantime Whitmore will fire up the rickety old cat powered delta gamma radiating spectrum analyzing machine.

[BIGDIG]

Toolman,my Vector Modulator is toast. My mainframe harddrive was shorted out when one of my Barn Troopers spilt some Equiban Horse Wormer on the console. I crosslinked a flouropolymer and glass braid silicone lead wire into the microwave relay,then tapped off of the subminiature solid state relay to the 480vt AC contactor. That gave me the power to run my rectifiers and open up my datalink through the VP44 Modulator and synchronize the internal oscillator and close the faulty bandgap and give me enough facilitating pulse width modulation to contact you... CAN YOU HEAR ME KNOW???

 

[Whitmore]

HOLY MEGA GIGGA BLASTERS BIGDIG that 48vt AC contractor is really puttin out some serious juice, it seams the high frequency modulator has large showerheads feedind the combustion chamber because now the massive iorn block is glowing a cherry red, you better leave that barn chick alone and adjust the fuel compensator back down a couple G forces. Wait a minute it JGies to the rescue and he has tools in hand to save the day

 

[GiesJ]

I get the call from Whitmore and load a short bed full of tools. I spent hours digging thru the Dr. Perfomance and Banks decoys to find the good stuff. An unlikely combo - a 98 24 valve, short bed, CLUB cab smoke machine... As I drive over, I think about another cruiser - Old Sickley and how that horsepower could really come in handy. Then I remember that I tear up everytime I read Joe Donnelly's comments about the 24V... Just as this thought leave my interglatica mind the truck dies. My boost was a steady 17 psi, EGTs were in check but I noticed my Fuel pressue was lower than normal. I roll to a stop and realize what has happend. It has happend before - VP44 grabbed it's Angle wings and went to the big Bosch repair shop in the sky.

I won't be the hero today. No Barn Chicks for this ole cowboy. I pick up the cell phone and make the call, not for me but my TDR buddies - "Hello, Mr. Donneley ... "

 

[BIGDIG]

TAP TAP TAP!!!!! HELLO ANY ONE OUT THERE??TAP TAP TAP. Toolman come-in...
