Atlanta/Tennessee VX Meet April 19th

[carlymac]

I've spent the afternoon digging out my camping gear and wanted to know if anybody needs a sleeping bag? I have several and won't mind bringing extras if needed. If not I'll use the room in the VX for something else. Just let me know.

T-minus 5 days

[forgetful]

Thanks Joe.

Yeah, another paintballer. I went one time with my daughter's boyfriend and his dad out in the woods just kinda of playing around and I got hooked.

I was gonna take you up on your offer of the sleeping bag Carl but I think we are going to really ruff it, Feather down quilt and an air mattress will be pretty ruff, but I think we can handle it.LOL

I still haven't sent in my contribution to the site.I had a bad experience with paypal once on ebay. 2 days after using it, someone tryed to charge a $1000 on my card. I never had any trouble before that. I know lots of people use it everyday without trouble, but I will never used it again. So I just have to snail mail it in. I'm still a nobee until then.

Jonny Apollo, I was wondering if you won that vx poster that I saw you bid on at ebay? It was pretty neat.

Well, I'm counting the hours till the gap. See ya there.......

Hey Shawn,

No, I didn't win that poster. You win some you lose some. There was a neat promo booklet this week too, but I let Donny have it, seeing as he had the high bid (did throw in a token bid at one point when he got outbid, but let it go). I hate bidding against people I know... seems un-American or something!

I did pick up an extra VX electrical troubleshooting manual, if you or anyone at the meet needs it. I've also got some other extras I'll be bringing... anyone need some slightly dented rear cladding?

I've got a bag and some blankets... may want to stake out some tent space if you have any to spare, Carl!

I plan on leaving work after lunch and driving up to the park on Friday. See you at the meet!

Just got a green light….

After following this forum for quite some time and unfortunately missing the Orlando meet, this seems to me like a great opportunity to meet y’all. I plan to start rolling Friday noon (what do you say Joe Black, Ocala / I-75 ?) and plan on camping till Sunday. Hope there’s still some room left for another medium tent/option to reserve another spot for me and my wife (carlymac?).
One more VX for the Florida convoy….

[carlymac]

GREAT niv_d,
We'll make room or get another site. If the sites are too small I'll see about reserving another site for fri. night through sun. I'll also PM you gruvens cell number just in case... This is going to be a HOOT!! See YA' At THE GAP

T-minus 3 days

I was digging out my camping gear also.
Question: Does anyone have a gadget to inflate air mattresses?
(I used to be able to sleep w/o air mattress but then I got
spoiled after I used one on a week long trip last summer.)

I am bringing the (yet unopened) box with Tone's popper kit.
Question: I read on an earlier post that some additional
wire is needed for popper install. Is this true?

Hopefully, I will make it to campsite before dark on Friday.
I'm looking at a 3 hour drive and hope to get away from work
around 3pm.

I'm bringing lots of shrimp for cookout Sat (?) nite.
Question: Do I need to bring a big pot for boiling H20?

CarlyMac just called me "Quiet Girl" in a pm email. This makes
me laugh.

See you on Friday pm. I am driving a red one...with a miniature
collie and dashound sticking their noses out of the window.

[niv_d]

OK , OK, I admit it…

I’m spoiled as well so you’re sure to find a small air compressor/inflator in my trunk. It becomes handy some time after trail riding as well. I’m just not sure about the time I’ll be able to show up at the Gap. Probably leave at about noon of Friday but it’s a looooong ride up there from the Orlando, FL area.

C U there!

[niv_d]

Opps! Almost forgot,
Just got your PM carlymac. Thanks!

[carlymac]

Lori, I have an air mattress inflater.
Don't worry about the wire we'll have enough to go around
And I only have a 2qt. pot so if you'll need more pot bring it.

I'm running around like a mad man today, building a new house, and getting the last minuet details worked out, but tomorrow I'll be like your dogs...riding in a VehiCROSS with my head out the window

[carlymac]

I just checked the site to see if anybody posted and my last post to Lori (quiet girl) almost sounds illegal...MORE POT... I'm a cop for cring out loud.

[Joe_Black]

Hey niv_d, Ocala meet up sounds good. We're planning on leaving around noon Friday ourselves. I'll PM my cell so we can co-ordinate. Woohoo! More Floridians!

[Lori]

Two quarts of pot is not going to be enough for us, so
I plan on bringing a gallon of pot. WOW.

I read a post (somewhere else) from someone who was
reviewing the park we're staying at. She said that
campers are urged to keep their food locked up in cars
because of "bears in the area." Grrrr...

See everyone on Friday...

[dyanni]

Looks like I am stuck in New Orleans. If any of you are around on Sunday, I might see you.

[johnnyapollo]

Hey Donny.. man that sucks! Well, you'll be there in spirit at least!
