Hope to see ya'll.

Mark,
Im probably gonna bail too. Since this run has been SERIOUSLY down sized to a day run, there is other stuff that I should get done.
Besides that...I FLAT OUT can NOT keep up with you and I know how you like to keep moving...FAST! 
I just dont have the skills yet.

My dance card is clean 7/15-20. Was thinking Fordyce but I think it's still got too much flow, so anything else will do, including a meander out into the backcountry of Nevada.
If I don't come up with a plan, I'll be stuck building a shed or something.

I think we are doing a mellow Dog friendly camp that weekend. Jake got stuck at home last weekend so we owe him one. We might find a deserted beach on Pyramid and just let him run and swim.
Shed building goes pretty fast with air tools. I framed out 2/3 of ours in an hour. I might even pick up a cheap HF roofing nailer. Either that or rent one.
I'm pretty sure shed construction builds up Man points at an exponential rate. It's right up there with bathroom re-models.

HA thanks for the compliment. I think you under estimate yourself in the Blue Blotch! You kept up just fine on the Con. I know you get frustrated when you get a little hung up but I am constantly amazed at what you crawl that beast over. We all get stuck once in awhile. Thats the fun of it. If we all had mega buggies we would have been bored long ago with this "sport". I read the thread about you wanting to sell and am glad you have reconsidered. Look at each guy in the club and their rigs really fit them and their personalities. Look at Mike in the Green Grenade and then you in the Blotcher. It fits you. Your right about the weight. Chop it and shorten it. That white rig was sweet.
Oh well. I'm still runnin the trail alone or maybe a sleeper will show. My wife thinks your goin. Shhhh. She freaks when I wheel uno. I really don't mind it.
I'll let you know how it went at the Mtg.
If I break I'll hollar for help
Mark

I'm out. I got denied for taking Saturday off. Working six days a week sucks but I'm selfishly hoarding money to spend on Cruiser parts!
Have fun if anyone goes.

Nope, not me!
However, I did JACK UP my shoulder lifting something into the back of the taco!  
I cant raise my arm in front of me without great effort and pain.
REALLY NOT GOOD!
MRI and arthroscopic surgery time!
At least I can pick my surgical team!

So far I have avoided surgery with mine. I had a partial dislocation with a subsequent tear a couple of years ago on my right shoulder. When it flairs up, I have to suck down the Celebrex and start my physical therapy exercises again.
Good luck.
