I love it when Dub shows off his mad photochop skills.
It'll be good to have the swarthy bucaneer back.
Beeg, are you sure you'll be able to resist the pull to come back into fam?

Todd,
Any clue's for us about the VX run...getting psyched!
Okay... so long time since I posted anything anywhere. Been a crazy couple years.
So anyway, it is with mixed emotions I report that I was able to fanagle a way to moab this year for visiting with a lot of yall. Unfortunately, Loco is still down, she will not be making the trip.
Needs a tranny replacement and a new axle shaft (will do both while I am in there).
But I lost my job 3/2, Tia lost hers 3/31. I picked up a contract position that could turn perm, could end at any time, I just don’t know. She is still looking and we are hopeful that things shake free soon. I am a project engineer/manager in electronics/electrical discipline (specializing in audio/visual, with experience in DC power, and telecommunications). She is in the finance/accounting world, with audit, AP, corporate training, Oracle, systems conversions, and management experience.
Cant make the trip and fix the Amigo. We desperately need a change of scenery so we thought that the trip and visiting with old friends would be worth making the trip. We will head out on Thursday 5/14 after work/school, and arrive late 11p-12a is the window I am targeting. Don’t think we will hit the road until 5ish. We will return on Monday 5/18.
So looking forward to seeing everyone and chillaxin. So, we will be lookin for open seats for Tia, Kyren (15), and myself. Would like to ride along on some trails, and if not, we will chill around town or hit the parks and hike. Either way we will be havin a break from the job boards and stresses of everyday life.
Shoot me a msg and let me know if you would be willing to share a seat in your rig. We don’t all have to be in the same rig, but would like to stick together on the same trail.
I can offer my spotting expertise (far from the best, but fairly decent) , trail knowledge ( I have done a LOT of those trails and know them well, including some off the beaten path off shoots), and comedic relief. 8)
Like I say, I have no clue who will and wont be there this year, as I have been away for quite some time. We decided to do a road trip to Oregon last year, 4235 miles. Will bring laptop and drive to show pics. It was an awesome time. Regardless, we will have a good time.
So that’s my $5 post. I have been saving pennies for a long time.

Well, one less thing to worry about. The day before I went to Uwharrie, my VX overheated. It continued to do so the whole trip, I was running the defrost on high to keep temp below 225. Today I replaced the fan clutch, now it sounds like a semi!!!! I love it, temp, not a degree over 178, just like it should be, but boy is the VX loud now. I think my clutch has been bad for some time. Can't wait to see everyone, still lookin into the hats, but I dont think it will be before then.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Keith, great to hear from you! I'm very sad to hear the news about you and Tia job market sucks right now. My Bro-in-law is now living with us due to the same circumstance. I'll keep my ear and eyes open. Glad you are coming to Moab, we'll have a blast!. I know there will be some extra seats.
