Yes Sarah, TDR members REALLY do exist

[Ol'TrailDog]

Met my first real life TDR member today. I really thought you guys were a bunch of bespectaled Walter Middys with pocket protectors, pounding away at the key boards with alter ego dreams of Motor Head City. Oh yeah, with a few good ol' boys sprinkled in for good measure. :-laf



Paul Knapp drove up from Pinedale and we met at Hoback Junction. I helped him out by taking a used BD ebrake off his hands for a princely sum, and thus, improved the safety of his premises with less clutter. Won't work with his PDR HX40 (green envy). He's got one of those moded-out 12vs that I can only aspire to - a piece at a time.



We spent probably an hour swapping CTD tales in the snow-slash-rain with a little wind (it's WY - of course there was wind). Paul had to be one of those guys who stands around in the inclement elements wearing only a hooded sweat shirt, warm as toast (hood not up). Whilst I wear a vest, Carhardtt jacket, and winter hat - chatter, chatter. This dog either needs more meat on his bones or has to keep moving.



Dang, it was a pleasure to meet him! WY hospitality

I get ridiculed anytime I bring up my TDR "friends". Probably because I have more TDR "friends" than real ones. And I've only met 2 of them in-person (klenger and JHardwick).

After five years my wife finally understands what I mean when I talk about the TDR guys.

I always get that too. Whitmore showed up to a surprise birthday party for me a couple years back and the next day people were asking how I had a friend in Shoshoni?

OTD yer just gonna have to drive that new to you 12 valve over here for one of our gatherings.

Yeah, you should have seen my friends, last year, when we went up to Rampart with Nick. Of course, the asked where i found any freinds since we hadn't been allowed out yet, so i said, "oh, you know, i met these guys over the net". They didn't think it was safe to go with ya'll, espicially to shoot guns. Funny stuff.

Same thing happened when i went the TDR Christmas party in Den with SamsRams. The TDR is great!

Jason, get back here just as soon as you can. We blundered the goin' away gathering, we'll make it up with a coming back party and we'll be sure the Whitmore's are there and bring some of their shrimp/bacon/jalepeno kabobs.

Those kabobs were awesome. So were the oysters.



The dodge is doing fine out here on the east coast but she is a total pavement princess. I went from breaking my seat due to off road activites in WYO to the daily highway commute. Plus, everything rusts out here. I mean everthing.

Hope things are great in WYO for everyone. A come back party would be great!
