Trap! You need to really read this, especially #4 & 6:

Words Women Use:

1.) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five Minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #1 for the meaning of fine.)

6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.

8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying SHUT UP!

9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking, "what's wrong", for the woman's response refer to # 3.

[locknload]

Roger that! Those are great. pretty accurate as well.

How many of you will be wheeling Sunday?

[Twiss]

Jason, Did you Flop????

[KnuckleHead]

I'm out. :cry: Tellico trip broke my bank.

[BeaterToyota]

Jason, Did you Flop????

Nope, didn't go this past weekend. I'll be there at the end of the month instead.

[BeaterToyota]

I'm out. :cry: Tellico trip broke my bank.

Was that your first time to Tellico? What'd you think? I haven't been in 9 years and I want to go back next spring.

[KnuckleHead]

Was that your first time to Tellico? What'd you think?

Yeah, first time. It was pretty cool and I had a good time. I only wished I had more time to run more trails. I think all total, I had almost 30 hours of hwy time, but only about 10 hours of trail time. It really wasn't worth the time and money. :cry: We ran upper and lower 2, trail 4, & trail 5.

Next time, I'll plan on staying 3 or 4 days to get some real trail time in.

[BeaterToyota]

I got in touch with Chris and he said there's still plenty of space available for this coming weekend.

[dsasteel]

Ok, I'm all ready to go. My wife and I will be leaving Friday afternoon I suppose after work. We have two other heeps riding up there with us too.

If anyone wants to caravan with me let me know!

Give me a call anytime.. I'm always awake. 804-387-3243 (Ben)

Also, someone give me a ring on Friday to let me know where our guys are going to be. I don't want to be hanging around a bunch of retarded jeepers. :lol:

[mtnyota]

The place is small. You'll see everyone when you get there. Also, I have a feeling that this weekend will be busy. It's the last weekend before they go to a membership format.

[dsasteel]

Sounds good. See you there!

[Eric_N]

You all missed an interesting day.

[larc68]

You all missed an interesting day.

any pics?

[mtnyota]

Who flopped?

[BeaterToyota]

Who flopped?
Dunno? I'm sure somebody did.

Eric, how about you give me that Trail Gear driveshaft kit? :lol: I broke the shit outta my rear shaft. Some dude there named Ben hooked me up with a spare to drive home. He had dual cases and stock rear axle location, so his spare worked perfectly for my junk. I need to build myself a new one.

We ran less than 2 trails. I broke my junk 1/2 way through the first one and bailed out back to the house/staging area. I pulled my rear shaft and was about to drive home in front wheel drive with my square shaft :roll: when Ben came running up and said he had a spare.

I replaced the shaft and we watched some crazy fuckers wheel "Body Shop". Then we hit one more trail. Finished about 1/2 of it when the Ranger in our group (with no freakin' lockers and no gears) lost his tranny fluid and couldn't go anywhere. He was pinned up against rocks and needed 2 winches to get out. That took over an hour and after that we just freakin' left.

Still, it's better than not wheeling.

[locknload]

What happened? 8O

[Eric_N]

We're lame b/c we didnt take any pics. That Ranger was a joke. And the drivers mowhawk def. wasnt helping him get through the trail. He thought that throttle was gonna get him through everything.

[locknload]

Damn, you mean they're on the trails too. 8O

[Eric_N]

You know whats funny, put a mowhawk on that guy and thats pretty much how he looked.

[shortyv6]

broke both stub shafts bout half way thru the first trail on sat. that after having vac issues on fri night( tried to chase them down durnk in the dark sux. found with little issue in the am)

[Eric_N]

How rediculously hot was it thier saturday? We were sweating our asses off on sunday, I couldn't imagine going thier saturday.

[mtnyota]

Sounds like ya'll had fun! wish I could have been there. dude, if you need my driveshaft kit it's yours if Eric gives me his that are laying in his driveway. :D

[Eric_N]

There yours. Jason, I totally forgot to get that one birf/inner for Terry back from you that I left at your house. I guess next time im down there or if you see him first.

edit: Sweet, I just noticed I got bumped up to a Hardcore Loser. That name fits me very nicely.

I didn't break anything the entire run minus some pretty bad body damage, but GOD I need a SAS.

[Eric_N]
