Hey Ya'll,

It's been awhile. Also, one of our Bronco brothers - RescueBronc - has come up on some hard times, so me and Dale [79F150] are getting together to help him out. He has 5 kids and Christmas pickens are gonna be kinda slim. So we're gonna get some toys and presents together for the kids.


Who's in?

The Date is Sunday, December 21st, around 3-4pm. Location is the Delkwood Grill in Marietta, GA. I-75 North to Delk Rd - Exit 261. Take a right - East on Delk Rd - the Delkwood Grill is out there about 1/2 mile on the left. The number is 770-956-1313 if you want better directions. [Or PM me for my cell if you want]

Well, I just called the Delkwood Grill and she's supposed to call me back tomorrow. Some guy has asked for the 20th, but never confirmed. I could stick with that date and just change the location... I dunno. I'll have to think on this one.

I wish we could be there, but as you all know we will be having a baby sometime in the next 2 -3 weeks so I don't think we will be up to too much traveling. We will definitely try to make the one after this and bring baby Jack to meet everyone!

Yeah, my kids have 2 X-boxes, a X-box 360, a PS 2, A Game cube, 2 or 3 Game boys and 2 or 3 Nintendo DSs as well as 2 gaming PCs... They are pretty well stocked on games collected over the years. Stuff gets "hand-me-downed" so the older ones get it, then when they want something new, the younger ones get the old stuff... I just gave my 10 year old the PS 2, it was mine, so all my old games are like new to him...

I think they are still shooting for Delkwood on the 21st...


This would be helpful, too. I'd like to contribute by perhaps sending some product. Any of them into motocross?

Ages are:

17 Male, 16 Male, 12 Female, 10 Male and 8 Male.

The boys are into motorcross (watching) but we've only got a small trail bike for riding (an XR-80) 2 smaller 4 wheelers and a Dune Buggy type Go-Kart. When we go riding we usually trailer the stuff somewhere off-load, chain up the trailer and I'll follow them in the Bko just to make sure everyone is safe. Then we'll come back to base and "swap out" since there aren't quite enough vehicles to go around....

You can send me a CR-500 if you want I'd love to ride with them...:toothless

Any more q's, let me know. Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts guys... Life is starting to smooth out a little bit we've just got one incredible hole to dig out of now.

We'll (well the wife and kids) will be out of town down at my wife's grandparents in South Ga. on the 27th. I thought you were doing the 21st.

I'll just throw this out there... any interest in meeting at the power lines in Dawsonville? (Where Shadybrady got stuck and I posted my poser pics). (I can post or give better directions but it is off of 400 near hwy 53. Its not real wheeling but its a decent place to meet and hang out. There is also a few cool bars in Dawson right near by AND if anyone else likes Chinese food there is a great Chinese Buffet 2 mins from the power lines. Its $10 a plate and has great food and room for all of us (they'll slide tables together) I think they have beer and wine there too... We could move the day to a Saturday or whenever everyone is available. Any interest?

I'm gonna try to drive the Bronco....

I went to get in it and move it the other night so I could drive it to work and was like, dang, I don't remember the brakes being that bad. So I get it in the garage and I'm cleaning all the leaves out from under the hood and check the fluid level...the first part of the reservoir was empty. Crawl under the back end and see brake fluid all over the tire. Brutus was like, "yeah, I'll show you, park me out by the barn and forget about me...piisssssssss no more brake fluid, haha!" So I went and bought F350 wheel cylinders yesterday. Gonna try to get them on tonight and hopefully drive it tomorrow.

Then I was gonna drive the '66 and had no brake lights. So I had one truck with no brakes and one with no brake lights. No good. :toothless
