Dinner Friday night turned out great with
@BigMike bringing out some pork that rivaled
@tcdawg 's...I could see a pork off on a future ride, no shortage of judges. The chili soup actually thickend up enough to make a very good chili. Thanks Karl
@jinxproof1996 for getting the rice and cheese and for everyone else that I am probably forgetting.
I had a great time.
We'll except for getting stung and having to pop my Epi pen, right after lunch on Saturday. Thankfully Jody's wife, Amanda, and Marie, played nurse on Saturday and really helped make sure I was ok. I really appreciate it. That took a lot out of me. I probably should have stayed and took a nap but I bailed Saturday night amidst the SWARM. It really needs to cool off.
I made the mistake on Sunday of washing my hand in hot water and the poison's swelled back up.
Carnage wise I put a small dent in my new slider fascia on the driver side at the back door. I'm glad it happened on the George Winter Trail. On the passenger side of the fascia the paint is bubbling loose, in the same location. Maybe oil on the fascia when it was painted. I don't know. There's no primer so I will probably touch it up with some gray primer and after I really scar them up I'll have them sandblasted and repainted. They are a pretty accent, but they are sacrificial. They also hold a lot of mud!
Leading is tedious when you don't know where you are going but we managed. We rode Blues and Greens. It was actually easier in the morning. I thought the afternoon would dry out but the water must have had more time to drain down because it got slicker.
Lockers are the Bomb //ROCKIN//
Trail 12 into 10 was probably the biggest pucker moment droppin' into that single rut after the narrow passage between those 2 boulders. And then slip sliding sideways and having to drive out of the slide to avoid the tree. That was a bit hairy. Those boulders got a hold of
@4X4KING and gave him a love tap into his new antenna mount and body at the passenger rear corner.
Big Thanks to
@Trailabite for spotting me and for pulling line and the encouragement. My winch was put to use this weekend and it served me and the
@4X4KING well. From what I heard everybody pulled cable at some point.
I posted a few photo's and a bad video to the GATR Facebook page.
I cleaned the Jeep Sunday morning and dropped it back off at Allsouth. The Caster has it steering like an old F100 (Wonky between 10 and 2) on the road and the vibration is still present.
