I was going to hand deliver it. You did say SoCal, right? It's just that fuel surcharge (aka handling) I'm trying to figure out.

I don't know what Tims offering you on the "delivery fee" but I would deliver it for nothing ,zero,zip, nada if you were willing to put me up for say the months of Jan. & Feb. The winters are a real goat humper on the east coast

Get out of my handling charge! I was going to ask for directions to the beach too but you are under cutting me...

Alright ! Alright ! Sorry Tim, just got thinking about bikini tops and Daisey Dukes and I momentarily lost all respect for fello man.Do you forgive me?

[Tim Smith]

Well, we are all rover family so I can't get too upset. If you have a beer handy at Winter Romp, I swear I won't remember a thing wrong with you.

now now gentlemen... there's plenty of bikini's, sand and 75 degree winter sun out here for everyone. i lived in boston for two years, i know about that nor'easter... it was 80 degrees today in los angeles, has been since may and i'm tired of it!

let's do a vacation home swap. you live in my house for the winter and i'll reside yours.

hell if i had a 250 acre property out here is SoCal I'd host a three day rally myself!

[Cutter]

wish I could attend, I'm going to be out of town still. would have loved to met some of you and done some offroading.

Thanks for a great day out Forrest. Also another big thanks for teaching me about the winch line tricks of the trade.

"Never put a saddle on a dead horse."

I'll remember that one.

for those of us who could not attend, can we get an explanation of that one?

bull dog clips

you put the saddle of the clip on the live part of the wire not the dead end [the short end is the dead part], the u-bolt part of the clip bites into the dead part of the wire, not the live part which would weaken it

Well done! And I thought that conversation was just between Forrest and myself.

He was explaining to me the connection on my winch line. Apparently the previous owner made the final connection incorrectly. Not having taken a course in ropes and pulleys, I had no idea and never identified the potential for disaster.

Sorry to hear it but now you simply have to post some pictures.

Here is my footage. This is of my buddy who was the other nut-case with a trailer in the woods. We were using this trip to see what we could get away with while pulling a utility trailer.

due to prior commitments and time restraints I was only able to attend for a short while saturday morning. I left at 10:30, about what time did everyone else show up? Looks like I missed a great weekend, ah well theres always next year. Before I left I did manage to snap this pick of Aaron on top of the pile
