+1000, what Mike said. Howyadoin', man?!? Just spoke with Jenny this morning, secured #3... so it'll be me, RD, and- ??? Hoping that Vern can grab the 3rd bed... will call that old sad sack in a while. It's ON, like DONKEY KONG!!! | ||

Hovering in the muck. So Jeremy..... You found the exit from the abyss? Good on you! I received tickets to tour the bottom for a bit longer! Brad I appreciate it. I will make any effort I can, however I do not own the key to my circumstances at this time. | ||

I'm grokkin' ya, buddy. For the really nominal cost of the room, already split 2 ways, myself and RD will hold that last bed for you until you know Y/N. I do know the taste of shit sandwiches and turd turnovers, surely we can get you off the steady diet of them you've been having lately. I'm just hoping that the one 4 wheeled vehicle we have, currently very sick, can be remedied by our mechanic for short $$$... and sometime before my busy work season ends, that I can acquire someone's grampa's truck. And still pay bills... and get into a position where I can restructure my finances. Dog paddling up shizzle creek aint no fun. I'm ready to get out, dry off, and go for a ride. | ||

We're just over 1 week away. I'm coming up Friday morning. If nobody's there, I'll just ride all over the place like a crazy person until I run into somebody. Jim's for lunch on Friday and Saturday. So looking forward to this. | ||
| Crusty |
I'm hoping to arrive sometime Thursday afternoon/evening. I suppose I could force myself to eat at Jim's two days in a row. I haven't slept in my tent for over a year. I am so looking forward to this. | ||

John- depending on your route, DO stop at Tellico Grains Bakery. For lunch. I used to stop at the Tellico Plains Drive-In, which has been there for years and overlooks the river- their food is very decent, and good. But, for a true gourmand such as yourself, do the bakery. If you miss their hours, do the drive-in. | ||

So- Matthew, Mike, see if you can post up your favorite source of weather forecasting for the area next weekend, phleeze... Weather here in Mur-vil is gawgiss! Sure hope to have the same in a week. | ||

It changes all the time... but here's what the interwebz are saying right now:  | ||

Thanks man! SCHWEEET | ||

 When I was there for Buelltoberfest, a couple of years ago, I remember it was 32º F when I woke up in my tent. The coldest low in that forecast is 46º F. Oh; this is going to be FUN! | ||

Buellish, I'm doing much better. Just got back from Crusty's and felt better today than I have in two weeks. Must have been a strange virus or something. I had no flu like conditions, just weak and really out of it. I had a friend join me for the trip in case I had a relapse but all was good. With my house issues I probably won't make it this year but you never know, it will be a last minute decision. After removing the carpet from the basement floor we found many large cracks in the concrete. It needs to be replaced so now I have to remove all the walls in the basement, and there are several. The only good news is that with the weight of the concrete off of the foundation it will be easier to lift the house and level it. | ||

I got a cabin booked, will be there Thursday. If anyone needs a place to sleep there is a second bed. That includes you John if you suddenly find out you are too old to camp, or Greg if he needs a last second accommodation after escaping the house. | ||
| Buellish |
Glad to hear your doing alright Greg and good luck with your project.You'll be missed! Frank,glad to hear you'll be joining us!Your presence means there is someone to keep up with Matthew and take the heat off us slow pokes! | ||

Where's Charlie? I've still got his son Aiden's jacket, hope to return it. We're getting the band back together. We're on a mission from God. | ||
| Ourdee |
Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke. | ||
| 86129squids |
//and a piece of bread for my brother. | ||
| Ourdee |
Toasted and dry. | ||
| Froggy |
Don't forget to replace those ribs you stole! | ||

Finally getting around to changing the noisy output shaft bearing so the Uly will be ready to be there even if I am on the bubble. According to the posts on how to change it I have the wrong bearing in hand. I have a call in to Lance to be sure before I tear it down. | ||
| Etennuly |
It seems to be an upgraded much more substantial integrated bearing unit. Changed from late '05 production. I like a good upgrade! | ||
| 86129squids |
... yeah, I guess you're right, Frogs!  That was funny! | ||
| 86129squids |
... looks like we may have a Charlie sighting next Saturday! Texted him earlier, he usually makes it for at least a day ride. Burnin' it on that dang Victory... add 1 more to the fast guy column.  | ||
| Pwnzor |
I'm going to need to charge up the GoPro, because people don't believe me when I tell them about Charlie dragging the hard parts of that big Victory all over the mountainside. | ||
| 86129squids |
We shall ride like the Valkyries. I might listen to different music in my head. | ||

... got my schedule sorted to welcome RD in Thursday afternoon/evening, then we roll out early Friday AM. So far the weather looks to be cooperating. Matthew, I'm gonna try to bring a worthy bottle of whiskey. Got to try a shot of "Little Book" last night, 128 proof, smooove. | ||
| Ourdee |
Thursday afternoon/evening, Oh Yeah! | ||
| Buellish |
Well it's a good thing Buellvemberfest isn't this weekend,I'm heading up to Suches where the temp is 32 and the wind is blowing gusts of up to 24 mph!Time for the Gerbings! | ||
| Ourdee |
Gerbings  | ||
| 86129squids |
... that reminded me why I loved my 1978 Datsun Z cars so much! DANG if I'd love to get another one someday... RD- I'll be in touch in the next few days to discuss itinerary. Let me know about when you'll expect to arrive here in Knoxville/Maryville. Still have a slight chance of precip here, nothing to worry about as of yet. |
