lol.....no surprise that they don't know.... "NFL Network?" "yeah, we watch football."

I'll have NFL-Live on the laptop, claims to do frequent updates.....I can live with that, plus Satellite for the pre-game on the drive down....

Gumby · 11-28-07, 04:38 PM

I had to call my cable provider to find out. The NFL is kinda poking the cable companies and most of them are either packaging the NFL channel with a premium sports package or not going for it.

I'm 6 of one, half dozen of the other myself. Drive down Thursday and stay there, or leave from home Friday morning doesn't make a lot of difference to me. I could see not wanting to do the drive from Appleton in the morning. That's a long haul, even for a professional driver.

I think the pillows at the Attica Hotel are weirdly shaped or something. I always wake up with a headache and feeling a bit queasy when I stay there.

We could drive all the way to Indy and invade SpaceGhost. Think he'll have it on at his place?

good day on the trails today......can't wait for tomorrow!

(and yes, the left rear DID walk that 5-1/2' wall!)

9ersgirl · 12-01-07, 10:37 AM

I like you Hat Woody... Wish I was there, although it is warm here in Norfolk, 50's today.

Have fun! Say Hi to Bridgette for me...

woody · 12-01-07, 03:13 PM

few more pics from today are up.....

on a good note, I didn't break the 40 OR roll it....

guess that means I wasn't tryin hard enuf....lol

PhilC64 · 12-02-07, 02:20 PM

Was on the way home and saw a wayward Pig! Looks like Todd blew a tire on his trailer. We cruised the area looking for him but no luck!!

When we tried to leave we were almost accosted by a lunatic hitchhiker!

After interviewing him he stated he was an abused child a needed a warm place until his owner came back! So we gave him a comfortable place to sit until we can return him!

Now that I got him to my home. I can understand why he's abused!

Gumby · 12-02-07, 04:31 PM

Left him in charge of the rig and he runned off. Sumbitch.

I guess leaving him alone in the rain was enough to get him to abandon his principals and whore himself out to an OSU fan.

Obviously he was of weak moral character to begin with.

Threw the tread. No spare

Tried a couple of tire stores in the area, but they were all closed on Sunday. I was less than an hour from home so I ran back to the shop and swapped on a different tire.

5 new tires going on next week.

Woody was right in front of me, but there was no point in calling him. he didn't have my spare.

He probably wouldn't have molested my co-driver though.

Glad to see you found the short cut, and thanks again for stopping.

OLDNSLO · 12-02-07, 04:31 PM

Too Fucking Funny!

woody · 12-02-07, 04:54 PM

Damn Gumby, we wondered what had happened with ya...glanced back once we were on 94 and you were gone, assumed you'd either cut off for home or for fuel....

shoulda called....tho my two spares for my trailer aren't the right size, at least we coulda done moral support!

Goebeler · 12-02-07, 04:59 PM

Todd,
Nice weather to have this type of problem! Sorry we lost sight of you.
Glad all is well and you are home. Great trip and looking forward to some winter wheelin! Might have to get you up to McCaslin this winter.

Watch out for the fuel system worms.

Goebs

Gappy · 12-02-07, 06:02 PM

Phil, that is hilarious!!!
Todd, don't know what is worse, the tire mishap or your amigo jumpin ship!!

PhilC64 · 12-02-07, 06:23 PM

The poor slob was left sitting there in the rain. Crying. I took him home and then to the bar with me. He poured his little old heart out! He makes you sound like an evil man Todd! He said he wanted a loving home. I told him maybe he should strike out on his own and maybe try and make it on his own. (I don't like strays) So he picked up his Budweiser and left. I last saw him on Milwaukee Ave. draggin his bottle behind him. Poor thing.

Gappy · 12-02-07, 06:39 PM

Thanks Tom...why I ought ta...!! That one is tame compared to my second tough spot! lol I know somebody here has pics of it but is very inept at posting pics!

booty · 12-04-07, 05:30 PM

Tom, I can't blame that one on Jered, I was driving then. Thats where I bentup the pass door. Maybe I should have let him try he was telling me to hit it again, but it was too cold and wet to have to try to fix something so I gave up.

Tell your daughter its alright, Woody is our hero too.

Never got a total number of rigs but we met people from five states and two other countries. Everyone seemed to be having a ball.

Dbl Blk <> · 12-05-07, 09:56 AM

Wish I could have been there.

Speaking of Woody as a hero, I got the latest FJC brochure from the dealership. Guess who is featured in the mag? That's right, the king of mud himself!

Woody, I need an autograph!

woody · 12-05-07, 10:20 AM

lol...gotta get myself a copy of that too....had one, and my folks kept it! haha

PhilC64 · 12-05-07, 10:51 AM

Congrats Woody! Thank God it's not hanging in the post office!

hitt · 12-07-07, 12:11 AM

well guys i got to go this year

i dont have a cruser yet but i will when i get the funds for

a new toy

i went a couple years ago with Chad "Peebles" in his 80

(and meet alot of ya'll)

but he had to work this year so i took my little sammi,the wife,and kid

and had a blast till the freezing rain started to come down

Gumby · 12-08-07, 06:59 PM

missing child:

Gappy · 12-08-07, 09:04 PM

Come on Todd, let me help put this in perspective. Your sidekick is now a Buckeye!! He is a whore! You don't really want the POS back do you??!!??

4rnr · 12-09-07, 11:02 AM

Alright, thats it. If Todd doesnt get his gumby back im not wheeling with him anymore. You have no idea what gumby does for his truck. I beleive that as Todd drives (on 21 and 10.2) gumby swings acrobatically around the vehicle holding stuff togeather. If gumby isnt there I have to pull his dead ass strait up the side of 10.2. Gumby is the glue that holds Todds Pig togeather!!

PhilC64 · 12-09-07, 02:01 PM

The "little green one" is important to Todd? Hmmmmmmm maybe you guys can come up with something good for a trade. Whats he worth?
