PLANNING TECORE VIII - April 12th-14th

[dvanbramer88]

Alright, as we start getting real close, only a few weeks now we should start discussing a meeting time. Earlier was mentioned and not really opposed. Lets also clean up the maybe list. I know most places require 2 week notice for requests off and we are quickly approaching that point. So if you want to go, it's time to commit.

The address to the shopping center. For any first timers: If you google maps this address, we meet at the Walmart Fuel Court on the far side of this shopping center.

171 Burgess Road Harrisonburg, VA 22801

Lets say 9am at the fuel court?

Also, anyone on the maybe list coming from NJ or north of Pa, We (myself, v7guy, and probably moots1288) have a convoy arranged. PM me for details if you'd like to join our convoy.

I wanna go... Stupid work...

[Trail X]

9am should be fine.

[dvanbramer88]

I'll be sure to pick up one of these bad boys before Tecore. No more squatting for me.

And MDB; I think I found your next big seller...

[NC_IslandRunner]

I have the bucket lid one.

[dvanbramer88]

I have the bucket lid one.

Nice. The ultimate poor boy camp toilet would be just to cut a big hole in the lid of a homer bucket.

[NC_IslandRunner]

15 Days...

[dvanbramer88]

15 Days...

Can't wait! I'll be doing the last couple odds and ends of maintenance to my truck on Saturday and than I will be ready to roll.

I'm getting a new spare tire and changing the oil. Also got a shock bolt that could get tightened a little.

[Trail X]

I still need to unpack my camping equipment from the move. Maybe I can get my father in law to help this weekend.

My wife insists we attempt to make this. I can get friday off, not Thursday. I am not sure if we can get there to meet up in the AM, but I know we can get there Friday if we leave late Thursday. We're masters at driving straight thru. We just need to get a few things together within the .... what next two weeks?

So we're back on schedule.

Oh sure, put it all on me in case something goes wrong. I said I REALLY want to go, but if you take that as "insisting".....

[JorDaneeKey]

Rory, is that offer to stay at your place Thursday night still open? Is there a bed check curfew we should plan on?

[Opeth]

I just drove through pretty much the better half of VA this week, wish it was for this meet rather than work

Offer is still open. I'm a night owl so anytime is ok.

I just realized we need to register the car in FL. I've been a cheapo and running around with VA tags for the past year and half. We hit that state line and I know good ol' boy state trooper will want to know where my front plate is and my stupid va inspection sticker. Guess it's time to visit the FL DMV, ugh.

[Trail X]

Yeah, that's a pain in the butt.

We can always plan to meet you at a designated coordinate at a certain time, if you will be late.

[HARDTRAILZ]

FL is a pain fit plates if you have not switched your dr license yet...that's not cheap.

Us IN boys drive straight through Thursday night every time.

[v7guy]

Mike/JorDanee, it'll be great to meet you guys and see the truck in person! Rory is a good fella, you'll like him. That should take the edge off a 13 hour ride.

I wish Cody was coming with Moots and I, we're gonna have to leave at 2 am. It'll be alright though. It's getting close and I can't wait. I need a few days away from this city.

James was crazy riding up through there at night... and lets not forget his rush to "catch the train" when we were leaving lol.

Getting excited, can't wait!
