Gamblers tickets for Fri nite, probably end up at Cleo's afterwards...

It's not off, it just not wheeling any more. It's driving and walking.

Sushi and martini. I'd rather walk 10 miles in bunghole deep snow. Have fun with that.

As for the Gamblers, are they any good? Never been.

woody · 12-11-08, 09:51 AM

it's entertaining....a good hockey game includes lots of fighting, so we'll see...lol

more sushi for me....good deal

webelk6 · 12-11-08, 06:15 PM

still looking for a picture of an oem overflow bottle with stock bracket mounting location along with pic of charcoal cannister for a 4/75

Did not take good pics in the early yrs.(disposable camera, updated by alstaz with a digital, dropped in the crick by my kid, then bought another....)

Well Saturday went well in Crandon. Not much snow made for easy hiking. Ice underneath made for some lousy suprises. 40th anniversary trail ride for The Fall Brush Run 101 will be an epic event. Not much serious wheeling but just wrapping your head around what these guys and gals used to do while bopping around the woods should be a great time.

Are they allowing trail rides on the original 25 mile track?

Hank · 12-16-08, 01:11 PM

Yes and no. Cliff has yet to make up his mind for good. Also the originality is a bit tough because it used to traverse swamps and had water crossings and such. This as you well know is taboo today. We will do our best to keep it original with respect to treading lightly and ensuring customers a good time. There are spots where 30 years of brush (read trees 4-5" in diameter) are going to keep us out due to current forest management techniques.

Niner · 12-16-08, 01:30 PM

Still keep us informed My Father and I have missed very few Brush runs since 1974. would be great to run even parts of the original route.

Hank · 12-16-08, 01:35 PM

I certainly will keep all here informed. How is your dad? I heard he had a foot thing? He was laid up for a bit?

Still want those mini truck axles? They are out and ready at N8's. If not, no big deal. I took to long getting it apart.

Niner · 12-16-08, 01:39 PM

sure would, prolly should get them out of N8's way PM me the price

got the overflow bottle figgered, just need the cannister shot.

Hank · 12-24-08, 07:06 AM

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Niner · 12-24-08, 12:25 PM

Yeah what Hank said.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

cannister figgered too.
Oh and Merry Xmas to all.

woody · 12-24-08, 07:44 PM

Merry Christmas

Hank · 12-30-08, 07:03 AM

So I guess the next logical thing is Happy New Year. Party till the lights come on but be smart.

On a more fun note the FJ62 is now locked in the front, cut and turned and the well bashed rear overhang is well, trimmed.

Still hoping for a winter ride in January. There is a big group going to McCaslin on the 16th so I'd prefer to avoid that. I'm thinking 24th if I can clear it with the warden.

woody · 12-30-08, 07:10 AM

24th is on my calendar, 16th is TX for me

Niner · 01-01-09, 06:29 PM

Our clubs had the 24th scheduled since November but that isn't usually to many people.

Hank · 01-02-09, 08:20 AM

Got a plan at all? Day trip? Meeting time?

Niner · 01-02-09, 09:15 PM

breakfast at 8:00 at the usual place all are welcome but if the group gets to big we split into more than one and meet at the end of the day or cross paths for lunch.

woody · 01-03-09, 07:28 AM

'the usual place' being Mountain

Niner · 01-03-09, 09:46 AM

yeah what Woody said.

Hank · 01-06-09, 07:01 AM

I was just informed that Extreme has a group coming up also. I'll be in the SMALL group. I don't want deja'vu of last year.

woody · 01-06-09, 08:42 AM

Scott Erickson is coming up too....should be a fun bunch

Hank · 01-19-09, 10:37 AM

No cruiser back yet. It is supposed to be getting the new work painted, rustproofed or otherwise protected. If I don't get a day or two to drive it and check things out (no service since last thrashing) I won't be attending the winter ride. Sucks. Might do some local thrashing. Might work on the basement.

Niner · 01-19-09, 08:15 PM

the jeep and trailer and hauler are available

woody · 01-19-09, 08:18 PM

40 is down for a while, 80 is going....headed up Fri nite to cabin it... (no, not at McCaslin....)

Niner · 01-19-09, 08:29 PM

I'm trying to get Tom Jones to ride bitch and maybe drive a little hank could still use the heep since he had to drive it all the way home 2 years ago while i hauled his 62. not that it is superior just reliable. after all they all end up chevy powered.

true?

Hank · 01-20-09, 11:15 AM

I'll be driving the 62 home tonight. The 62 is Uber reliable. That was the only time it ever failed to get me home. I'll pass on the heep offer thanks. I don't think my head could take that many blows from a day on the trail. I assume you will have the FJC? If it drives ok tonight there is a good chance I'll go. With the amount of new work underneath it and lack of road time since it may be trial by fire.

woody · 01-20-09, 11:22 AM

I could always road-trip back up with the goose on Monday to fetch it....gotta drop off Goeb's FJ40 someday anyways....

Hank · 01-20-09, 11:36 AM

I'm not worried about breaking it at all. Jim had issues with death wobble after the cut and turn. It drove up there at 70mph. It has never had DW. If I wanted that crap again I'd go back to heeps. IF it's there, I won't be going Sat, if not then game on.
