My excuses for missing moab 2009... what are yours?

3) Picking up dog in Oregon (Boulder) see attached

2) I asked Brittany to Marry me at the Base of Mt. Shasta, in northern California

1) Brittany and I have a baby on the way, she's 5 1/2 months pregnant and can't be in an offroad vehicle... maybe not in the VX at all



So I kind of knew I wasn't going to be able to make it, but I was hoping I could work out to have my nephew to go with me instead, and then Brit and I could plan a different weekend to get the dog. Turned out my Nephew was running the Ogden Marathon the Weekend of Moab (his first ever 4:32 was his time) After knowing he couldn't go, and that I had no one else to bring, I scheduled "my" weekend for the same weekend as Moab... that way It would soften the blow of not being there. And no offense to you all It was worth it

The Image shows "Boulder" our new American Indian Dog, with "Breuer" our Dutch Shepherd we picked up 3 months ago, amazing amazing amazing dog. He's 13 months old, and damn near genius status

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Grats Dude - looks like you're set up for a Mega-Year.

My 'scuse for not going to Moab is that it just too far. One day I'll make it tho.

[WormGod]

A few really....

My life is mostly all work and no play. Gotta do what I gotta do if I wanna retire by 45.

I live light years away from MOAB. The FTL drives on my VX aren't working so well and throwing a CEL 011101100011X. I haven't used them in a while as to prevent effects seen in and around an event horizon. Neat looking, but very disorienting.

I don't relish the idea of parking my VX to ride shotgun with another VXer. I have dent-scrape-breakage-dirt-dust-flat-aphobia with her. She was simply never set up for any offroad use and it would be stupid to pretend she was.

Procrastination. I am King.

[Moncha]

I will not make anyone feel guilty for not going to Moab, life happens. I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS on the news! When time is right, what you want to do, will happen.

[taylorRichie]

Dude, you didn't even say if she said yes or not!

I'm still waiting for an answer HA!

She said yes before even thinking about it... She'll probably claim temporary insanity and bail on me.

Thanks for the Congrats all! We're very very excited!! Crazy crazy crazy year for me!

We need to get Menace and my Buds together for play time!

[Scott Harness]

Congrats!!

[kodiak]

Nice!!! Congratulations, Dog Wife and Baby all in the same year.

My reasons for missing Moab:
It was awesome, the scenery was incredible, the people were cool (mostly, some were just strange....... well, not some, just one), wheeling the VX is as good as it gets. The weather was perfect...there are a lot more reasons for missing Moab I am sure.

[don moore]

My reasons for missing Moab:
cause LDUB was there..........lol

J/K no it was money..for some reason the feds needed the money more then me ......and my Boss (GRRRRR) took that week off ..so you know what that means.

[MSHardeman]

Heck, dub was one of the main reasons the I DID go to Moab. It sure isn't boring with "The Dude" around.

[Triathlete]

and my Boss (GRRRRR) took that week off ..so you know what that means.

That means he won't know if you're there or not!

[don moore]

That means he won't know if you're there or not!

lol that means I do his work...lol

Talk about missng the Moab point...
Within the original context of this thread, MISS Moab was originally intended to mean why you weren't there...
May I assume you are referring to me when you mention "well, not some, just one"...
If so, thank you, I consider that pretty high praise coming from you......
In any event, it was good to meet you & all your gang! Especially my "little wheelin' buds"...great kids!

Now Don...play nice, you know you want to come & hang out on the stoop...
Once you get past all the BS, I'm almost tolerable...
