I didn't get a lot of pics of trucks since I was peddling parts for two days... and shining chrome (right Tim)!!!!!!

The guy in the black shirt must be in charge... I always learned to put my hands on my hips when in charge!

Forgot to carry the camera most of the day but did get one nice truck. Got to meet a few members and bought some parts from Tim and other places.

i stopped by special K's spot, and bought some stuff from Tim Christian and Bill Athey, sorry i couldn't hang around, i had a motor at home beggin to be pulled :)

oh, there's a long story behind the mullet, but i usually don't look quite so goofy :D

looks like a great time i really hated to miss it this year..

Well Guys, it's 1:30 a.m. just got home, from Carlisle.I had a great time. I am glad I got to meet a few of you. I didn't have alot of time to do alot of chatting, Sorry I had a limited amount of time to take in all the trucks and parts. So I couldn't stand around and chat like I wanted to. Guess you'll all will have to come to the NBM.

i had a great time ! and met lots of members and saw some of the same old faces too.
got rid of alot of parts.

i got home at midnight last night. some drunk ran over my trailer before i could get out of the park, but its fixable.

oldblue, thanks for taking me and specalk to the dinner . it was nice to get a warm meal.

He ran over your trailer? that sucks...

I would have stayed and partied if I were you....

Trying to finish off my "Farmers Tan". I got home about 11.....no drunks running over me (did they ever get the guy out of the middle of the road?) thankfully.

Thanks for a great time....good seeing everyone. Wish you guys had gone to Williams Grove with us....great racing

BTW: Corporal Hicks isn't eating cat food in that picture is he? I saw his "Hotel Room"

He's one of those Generals that sleeps in the field with his troops!:flag:


I'm just a "bottom feeding" Captain ya know...

Dang looked like fun saw lots of part in the pics I need. Hope everyone got home safe.

some idiot tried to drive his very large , very nice, 4x4 passed me in an isle without even slowing down.
he bent my tailight housing back and tore the angle iron it was mounted to.

i ran out of beer! and parts. why stay.
i needed to get home for a day of rest before i go back to work

I hear ya... I didn't take any beer or Beam home! sucks about your trailer, did he stop? pay?

got rid of one set of my bedsides, on their way up to VT right now....

he stopped, but if he got out of the truck he would of fell on his face .
and even though he was VERY MELLO i know how things can turn around when sonme one is that intoxicated.
I didnt want anything to do with him.
so i guided him past and told him to slow down and take it easy.
he drove away at about .5 miles an hour:lol:

It was good to go up there this year and get parts i needed to get going again on my truck . me and my freind walked pretty much the whole show . I was surpised that he walked as much as he did with his foot still all screwed up . It was good to catch up with people from the message board and from some of the people from truck clubs i know . did any one get a good laugh at the idiots with jeeps up there at the rock crawl thing ?

Great thread(for the most part (:rolleyes:).It`s nice to get some other views of the show I never got.It was great meeting so many new faces from the board and the rest I have already met.It`s hard to list them all and not forget any.I hope all chime in here.I met members from NH to NC.I`m not sure if the NH Truck Mafia or Barry B get the long distance award.I believe I counted 30+ members I spoke to.I realized I knew more people there than back home!It was truly an uplifting weekend.I can only imagine what a board meet would be like.It`s a fact that there`s no such thing as too much truck talk.If there is,I can`t imagine hoe many days or different people it would take to run out.My wife was wrong.I don`t care who y`are!:lol:
Yes,it was great sleeping in the Blue Cott Suite at the Silver Tarp Motel.It got chilly at night,so I borrowed a canvas drop cloth with a fair coating of paint from olblue60,made one make shift end wall from headliners and door panels.Now,I`m not trying to get all upscale on anyone with all that class.I believe we all do the best we can with what the good lord gives us and for those stuck in hotels I`d like to say,"I feel your pain."
No,not cat food.Them`s my Goldfeesh Flavor Blast Cheddars!!
I was nearby when that drunk ran across jc`s trailer in a totally cherry 4wd.Once he was guided through,with alot of EXTRA instruction,he never even got out to look at his truck!!

It was nice meeting a few of you guys and Thanks Mike for the beer and Tailgate. Our club website should have some pics and videos up sometime in the near future. I know on our message board some people have posted links to pics and videos. I need to try and find a good video of me and my buddy dragging my S-10 during the drag contest. www.diverserides.com
Shannon

no problem shannon, thanks for stopping by. any pics of those girls in the pool?:lol:

We stopped by to talk to Tim on the way in and on the way out.

It was winding down on Sunday, but we had too much life going on at home to make it on Saturday. I'll unload and upload my camera tonight. :)

Stood there talking to Tim and trying to remmeebr that as much as I wanted the cab parts, the two cherry fenders and the old school Edelrock manifold -- my house bills have to come first.. lol (I did point out to management what stuff I really need to finish the truck! lol)

We almost got run over twice -- once by some kid in an S10 Blazar and once by someone trying to back a trailer into a spot.

Made a parts connection though -- someone came by looking for a manual sterring box -- seeing as I have one serving as a door-stop we exchanged a bit of info and we'll see what we can do. :) (Tim is a great facilitator!)

Sorry i didnt make it. I had some spotters there for me though.

Nice meeting you all. NH Mafia got home safely with VTBlazer's bedsides and all our loot too. Thanks for the hospitality!

No one took lots of pics of the trucks out there? Seems like there would have been tons of really nice ones floating around... Those above are sweet, but where are the customs?!

We took a few pics --

Nice! That's more like it. Anyone else?

there where some nice trucks there this year . only seen 2 really nice frist gen blazers there .the one really nice one was that pretty much all stock one that was there. I cant wait till next year might have my truck at least close if not done to take up there .

Sorry about the late reply. I had to figure out my board name, it has been awhile. Anyway, I met jc & spec-K on friday night. I met Mike during the day on friday. I had the copper 67 for sale in the last row towards gate one. Spec-k took pics friday night, but I didn't see any posted. I forgot my camera so no pics. I had a great time - sold just enough to pay for the space. Later, Jerod

oh yeah... nice truck, you should post some pics... Hide the For sale sign cause the "moderators" won't like that idea....

WOW, looks like a killer show, and only 2 hours from my Dad's lake house.
I may have to fly up next year for a week and drive down for this show ;)

Mike, I posted the pics in the forum under 1967 finished pics.

yep, you should... and the offer is still open to any board members that want to fly a helicopter simulator at my work while you're in the area... I only run 7 of them so you'll have to take your pick.

Helicopter simulator?? Details?

Sounds fun...I live in Maryland. Close enough

yep, I run 2 UH-60 sims (1 more due in Oct), 1 Ch-47, 1 AH-64 (can't go in it), 2 UH-1, 1 UH-72 and the AVCATT which is 6 sims in a trailer....

open to any board member that happens to be around the Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA area.. Your tax dollars at work so why not check out what the troops are using today...

Sounds like an excuse for a road trip.

I took a few night pics of Jerod`s `67.I`ve been too busy to post my Carlisle pics.It`ll be fall before I get them up.:cool:

I would make a trip for that. Thats like a dream for me. How advanced are they????

all but the UH-72 are full motion, 6 or 7 different databases (Hawaii, Alaska, PA, Korea, etc..) weather, bad guys, emergency malfunctions, etc..

guess there pretty advanced, enough to log actual flight time in.

I can set up a tour if we get a few guys together. Open most weekends and everyday until 9pm or so.

Mike,

Yeah I remembered the offer, just could not make it up this summer.
I'll try to come up next July and give you alot of notice. Mini meet?

Craig

I`m saving up my quarters.My life hasn`t been the same since they replaced that one in front of Safeway with that Danny the Dolphin ride.

:lol:

you don't want to know how many quarters it takes to run these... waaaay cheaper than the aircraft per hour though, but higher initial cost..

Is it cool if I PM you sometime about this? I have always wanted to do something like this....Would just need to figure when would be a good time for you. Are you on base or something?

no problem, send me a PM anytime

:lol:

Walmart has a fire truck ride.I guess I`ll give that one a try.:(
