River Shiver 2008

[Deny]

Got my check and registration into the envelope, and on my way to the post office as we speak!

[Deny]

Just got back, and its in the mail now!

[Ratpuke]

What?? Why're you paying??

I thought the Swamp Donkeys were gonna do an "Outlaw" run there this year.

[Deny]

I ain't no holigan, I am very sofisticated and got proper manners. I appreciate the RMLCA effort and am happy to pay for a little bit of fun in order to break up the long winter. Don't worry, I'll still be able to represent with my mad "outlaw"/rednek weelin skillz.

[Ratpuke]

wimp

[Deny]

Yeah heres the kicker:
I will be trailering my truck down, how gay is that, I swore I never would own a trailer queen. (my excuse is I don't want to be running my swampers in -40 weather)

[Ratpuke]

Well, I'll be driving. Trailering is for boys!!

[Deny]

So whos going to be shooting?

[BC40]

Say it ain't so.
You're the guy that always said a Land Cruiser was meant for cruising the land, to and from the wheeling destinations. Now your becoming one of those guys. Blaming it on the swampers.

[Enigma]

No kidding..that soft Northern lifestyle really has changed him hasnt it?

A real swamp donkey would drive his 40 and trailer the swampers behind!

[Deny]

I know, I know.
The main reason I guess is that it's not my daily driver anymore, I don't trust it as much as I did when I know I could drive it all the time. More reasons: its cold, and the truck doesn't do that great in the cold. The swamper issue is only minor, but I have never driven the swampers on an icey highway, so I don't really know what they would do. Plus I need to get back to work fast so I need a truck that I won't be driving like I stole all weekend then hope things don't happen on my 7-9hr trip back home, and finally I have a truck and trailer, so why not. Oh yeah, there is a base camp here too, so not a big deal, if it were a drive in, drive out long trip, probably be a different story. Oh thought of another one (better just post before I write a book to justify this but sort of got used to driving a turbo diesel, so going back to an 8hr trip in a NA diesel would be a little tough for me, so don't worry, I will go back to drive Cruiser to and from events once I turbo it
I hope you don't think I sold out, but you can definatly start calling my truck a trailer queen if you want

[lowenbrau]

Leave the Swampers at home. Unless we get a heat wave a/ts do better at River Shiver.

[Deny]

I don't have at's, so I figure if they do bad, I strap on the chains, I dont know, I dont want to go out and buy tires for one weekend.

[Ratpuke]

Leave your truck at home and drive down with me. Pick up Uncle Gord in Red Deer and we'll see how much fun you have driving him.

Yeah I'd probably be better off just welding some paddles to my rims and driving that eh

Hmmm, 3 swamp donkey mini runs, I think there's something your trying to tell me. It has been a few years now since attending the first official rivershiver.

[Ratpuke]

I remember it well.....

and how much you freaked me out when you were asking me about Agent Orange and Uncle Gord, etc. Oh how you just gotta love list lurkers ;-)

[RockDoc]

[maximBJ70]

I wanted to drop a line and tell the RMLCA crew that I'll be heading out from Winnipeg for the event. This will be my first TLCA event so you guys will have to go easy on me
Tried to get some other Winnipeger's to join but they're not interested in having any fun.
Looking forward to it.

Max

[Ratpuke]

Ok, you should really contact the RMLCA then. Craig MacKay's email is craig.in.calgary@gmail.com

See you there!

[maximBJ70]

thanks ratpuke.

If you're coming, get your registration in!!!!

I PM'ed you.

Craig.

[maximBJ70]

Registration is in the mail as of last week...sorry, I should have prefaced my first post with that. pm'd you back.

I wanted to introduce myself to the crowd, looking forward to meeting all you folks out there.

[RockDoc]

Well, not a Pegger, but I am originally from Brandon.

Don't worry, your truck should make it through without trashing anything that doesn't already need replacing.... but then how would I know.

[Deny]

Two sleeps and it's here. Just have to pack, and I am ready. Can't wait.

[RockDoc]

Looks like the temps might climb above 0!! I've got my fingers crossed we get a real sloppy weekend.
