That's neat! I've tried unsuccessfully to get Sandy interested in at least learning how to drive on some of the more mundane trails...it just makes sense from an safety perspective.

Excellent.

Darcie enjoys it. It's always better when you can get them involved, makes the farkle spending easier.

I just told Jo about this tonight.
The biggest problem I see is getting the 40 back after she gets a taste for it.

My Mom learned how to drive towing a 22' travel trailer, after my Step Dad got squished under it when a jack kicked out. Better to learn without the extra stress.

Sounds great as long as the wives don't scream bloody murder at each banging and clanging sound from underneath.... Mine is afraid to "hurt her", aka the "other woman".

I'm still going, but solo. We are leaving for Oregon the next day so wants to stay home and pack. She also scheduled Jake for a bath and a hair cut. Given Jakes current aromatic state I think a bath is a priority, nobody wants to spend all day driving with a dog that smells like he died a week ago in the car.

I just had thumb surgery on friday, but I really would like to make this run. If I'm not still morphined-out, Ill go. I'm going to take my dad too, he's never been off roading.

Surgery pics for your enjoyment:


Skiing accident...

Surgery is always fun. Hopefully you'll be able to make the run.


So next weekend could be another fun day. If I get denied this time, I think it's a sign...

I beg to differ, I very much remember spinning the 33's (and 45's) and having all of the fun of putting a penny or nickel on the stylus to weight it down for worn out records. I didn't get to listen to George, my parents didn't think young children should be listening to George, so I didn't get any George exposure until much later.

I even had the pleasure of selecting the next track of an 8-track player.

Jack

P.S. I am older than I appear, besides I live by the motto that "You are only as old as the woman you feel." That's why I got one that is 6yrs younger, that also happens to look younger than she appears.

So...you were spin'n when you were...what...3? We were at a party Saturday night...and there were kids there. The game everyone had to play was "get an actor/actresses name taped to your back" (it was outdoor movie night...which was pretty cool)...anyway one of the teens had John Wayne. He didn't know who John Wayne was...damn it sucks to get older . (notice I didn't state "old"...just "older").


Damn cradle robber...

Jack,
Youll be fine.
The trail is a worse off than it was last year...more rutted, boulders have traveled etc, but Sean (silverscout) made it through with 33's.
There is a decent line at the gate keeper if you stay to the right. I was leader, and I had to do some schnazzy back and forth, but everyone saw the line AFTER me and walked right through it.

The fact that the kid didn't know who the Duke was is just un-American, that's right up there with Bruce Dern shooting John Wayne in the Cowboys.

And yes, get 'um young and train 'em right, that's what I always say. (Of course I shouldn't have picked one so strong willed)
