View Full Version : GEORGIA - December Meet and Greet
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.

Bronco Lounger 11-15-2008, 10:00 AM 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!
79F150 11-15-2008, 02:54 PM For anyone that would like to contribute or anyone that has...

88MULE 11-15-2008, 09:27 PM You know we will do what we can to help,just let us know.
FordTruckMan 11-17-2008, 01:01 AM I will def plan on being there. Are video games a possibility? Cause I have extras I could donate. Or get some to donate. But need to know if there is a console. Otherwise I'll consider something else.
gabronco91 11-17-2008, 01:50 AM I should be there. I can't wait to see everyone again! It'll be the last meet and greet I can go on before I leave. :rockon

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...

The Reverend Floater 12-05-2008, 01:35 AM Sounds cool. Whenever you get a chance, could you send me a pm of their ages and genders?
This would be helpful, too. I'd like to contribute by perhaps sending some product. Any of them into motocross?
broncomania 12-07-2008, 06:51 PM ok, im planning on making a trip to georgia very soon to visit my family again this year. whats the plan on the meet and greet ???? im gonna try to plan on coming up to visit and meet up with my friends at the same time.
RescueBronc 12-07-2008, 08:58 PM I think they are still shooting for Delkwood on the 21st...

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.

Lifted Fords 12-14-2008, 03:07 PM whats delkwood!!!????

FordTruckMan 12-14-2008, 03:09 PM type in delkwood grill marietta, ga on google and you'll find it...

Well, the Delkwood was not available the 20th. I'm gonna call tomorrow and see if they're available the 27th, or I may try for Sunday the 21st. I'll let ya'll know tomorrow.
FordTruckMan 12-14-2008, 09:17 PM both days work for me i believe. i will do everything i can to bring the bronco though.... that might be a problem... still leaking oil.... lame...
RescueBronc 12-15-2008, 02:23 AM 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?
gabronco91 12-15-2008, 02:32 AM I should be there wherever or whenever it is as long as its not after the 28 because I leave for bootcamp that day.

You don't have to bring a Bronco but come on by.:thumbup
Gacknar 12-18-2008, 12:24 PM Unfortunately, I will probably not make it.
I'm moving and want it done before Christmas.

OH NOOOOEEESS!!!1! It won't be the same. :cry
FordTruckMan 12-18-2008, 12:39 PM well i should be there. i don't really see why not. don't think the bronco will make it though.....
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
robbiem 12-19-2008, 06:25 PM there is a guy in marietta with a bronco rear window for $35. I may have to head that way.
