I'm glad everything's coming together. I'm sure you can borrow stuff like that as needed Kyle.
I almost had to cancel this trip earlier this week because I came down with a nasty flu... I'm not yet at 100%, but I hope to be by Friday.
When is everyone planning to meet up? Noon? Who is meeting up at 4?
Sounds like its the 6 of us:
JamesDowning
BartonMD + wife
janesy86 + gf
darknight + man friend
bigezzyk
HARDTRAILZ
PLANNING: TECORE IV

Can't wait to get down there and relax. Work has sucked this week and a little time in the woods will be a blessing.
Good deal, glad they held up to their speedy delivery time! As for shovel/Hi-Lift I got mine and JD will obv have his winch if we get super stuck.
And I definately hear ya on the relaxation in the woods, can't wait to get outa work tommorow.

We'll see how it shakes out, but she's got 2 days to get better, and I've got 2 days to get it and get better (exposed Sunday, so I should get it today, if I'm going too)...

Hope you guys feel better soon.

Just got home and found a package waiting for me from Purple Cranium. Ordered it early Sept. but they have been super backed up since they just moved locations. Didn't expect to get it since I got no tracking # but glad I have some protection back there now for this trip!

Thanks to Regulator for swapping my hub and my buddy scott for changing my oil while i got things together.
//// UPS. They said out for delivery then at 5 it pops up that they cant find street cuz it doesnt exist. They only deliver monthly to me. I call and get the run around, then call again, then they call back and tell me go to the hub 30 minutes away to pick it up by 8...at 730 they tell me this. Get there, send me to security gate down the street, they say..Huh, then they try and track it down and 45 min later I get my hub. Find out it was just on the wrong truck really, but they could not admit that at first. They are the biggest group of douchebags. I hated UPS shipping before ,but now I plan to trash them everywhere and expose them for the crap they are.
But the hub was $46 shipped and came with sensor and everything. great fit. They tried to ship it quick til UPS screwed them, but the product was great.
Anyway...Got work in 5 hours, There for 8.5 then on the road. Got everything loaded, but food to pack in morning, so VA here i come.
Thanks again Matt.

Good to hear you didn't bring back any grenade shrapnel
