Arkansas Trip Sept. '08

[pipeliner1978]

Thanks for the heads up, but hopefully I got it covered

Can somone(ahem....zack)  pick up a copy of the maps from Swanny today for me.  I would like a copy of both, the full 3 day ride, and the partial if that is possible.  Thanks again Swanny for the maps. 

Make sure that before you post you ask these questions:

1)  Will others think I'm being a jerk?   Dunno, probably, everyone has their own opinions (some people like Will Ferrell, some people think he's a jerk.......some people say cubcumbers taste better pickled.....I don't know)

2)  Would I say this in front of my mother? Absolutely

3)  Does this post contribute to the board or add value to this thread? 

4)  Is this post on topic? Should I begin a new thread?  I think so / I don't think so

Well it looks like a big pile of work just got unleashed on me as of 9 PM last night and my group is losing our assistant buyer to another group so I am going to have to bail out on this trip.

Here I sit on my day off at the office with a crap load of stuff to do.

Can one of you meet me tomorrow around lunch time and I will drop off the maps to you?  I should get out of meetings around 11:30 so I can meet around noon.  If not tomorrow the next free time I have is Friday at Noon.  Got meetings through lunch on Wednesday and Thursday.

I am really bummed b/c the weather is going to be great and those roads are just awesome.

Damn Swanny! That sucks on a huge level! Anyway to beat this monster down and still make it?? Hope so. I'll pick up the maps if you want. Just post or PM me when and where and I will be there. Pappasitas (sp?) for lunch?? Just let me know. Giant bummer. Really sorry.

Hopefully something will change. It won't be the same without you...

Swanny, that really sucks...... But I do know the whole work thing being a 6-7 day worker myself.  If I don't work 60-70 hours, I got a break!  Man, if there is anyway you can make it, DO!  I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you yesterday, but I was working.  I was looking forward to meeting you on this ride.  All the members here that I value their opinions all really like you, and I know it would be the same for me.

custom fabrication being done by my welders as I'm typing.  Looks like I will be able to haul 4 bikes to Arkansas.  2 on trailer, 2 in truck.  Having my welders fab a dual motorcycle tie-down  deal for the F-350.  So slag if you need to go with us, you're welcome to.

[Slag]

Cool. I will ride up with you guys. Do you have rooms booked? I will need a place to crash that first night.

So, are you trailering or riding?

Is Kevin going Friday night?

[Kevin848]

Is Kevin going Friday night?

Yes

[Slag]

I will trailer up on Friday, and will ride back with you guys on Monday.

Looks like Me, Bonnie, Kevin, and Zack are heading up on Friday night.  Zack will be riding back with you all on Monday though.  I have a room booked for 2 double beds.  I don't know Kevin's plans if he wants one of the beds or not.  So......you are welcome to crash on the floor, or share a double bed with Kevin (how you doin  ).  Or you all can share a room.  Doesn't make a shit to me.  The room was 165 bucks for 2 nights.  You all decide if you wanna stay with us, or get your own room.  Kevin will only need a room for Fri and Sat though.....
