NO EXCUSES, MICHAEL!!!!


Chris' spring was completely off the shock and stuff the other day. Weird.
You get your butt out there and fix it....then go in and get some hot chocolate!!!

Ok, I recruited Darwin to help me. It took us 4 hours to cut off the old shocks, go buy new ones, put them on, change the plugs,wires, rotor and distributer. We took turns jumping in and out of a warm truck. Our hands were frozen. The wind was nasty. However it is all done and ready to go on Sat. Hope there's lots of snow on the ground.

Or we will be sliding everywhere.

I haven't been sledding in AGES!!!! How fun!!!

I can't wait!

Going towards FROG HOLE ?????????????????????????????????

OK folks, I just checked the weather for Tremont, PA, for Saturday and there's only a 10% chance of precipitation. However, . . . the low will be 13 degrees F and the high will be 14 degrees F. I'm really starting to chicken out. I don't mind breaking down in decent weather, but even the prospect of breaking down in sub-freezing temperatures leaves me scared silly!

The high temperature on Monday is only going to be 24, and even that scares me.

Just be forewarned that there's a better than 50/50 chance that I'll be a no-show both days.

I hear you, Ed. Gonna be wicked cold...I already have all of my layers of clothes picked out!!!

I was impressed how well the GIRLS withstood the cold

Don't pick....we girls withstand MEN, so basically cold is easy.

Very TRUE COLD ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS EASYYYYYYYYY layer up invest in some GOR TEX

Mike..... Where is my video??? I know it takes me forever to post them but I expect more from you....

I am horrible at the 'run down' thing. But if you want to know what we did....COME OUT ON A RIDE!


"Thank you"s go to:

Jimmy
Mike and Carla
Robby
RJ and Celia
Angela and Jeff
Michelle and George
Greg
Christine (and her daughter and 2 nieces)
My beautiful other half, Chris, for being a great leader even if I complain that he's not watching behind him enough!


It was a great time and we were happy to finally meet RJ's wife, Celia (who rocked an icy mud pit and a couple other obstacles as a first time wheeler!) But Celia wasn't the only first timer.... Angela & Jeff and Michelle & George were noobs that kicked some trail too. Hopefully, we have them all hooked. We know Angela is, she had a permagrin the whole day!!

And of course, Jimmy, Robby, Greg, and Mike....our Usual Suspects were there and we couldn't have been happier. We're psyched that Carla came......as I type this, the lucky lady is at the Ravens/Steelers game! Hope you had a blast, Carla!

We had a woman named Christine with us and then she vanished....we hope we get to see her again. But if you're out there, Christine....THANKS FOR COMING!

WHAT? I have paypal.

































The comp won't read my card so I'm going to have to figure a work around. A couple of days maybe.

So we're hooked.....
and thanks to all who rode for just being all round friendly, giving out tips for us newbies, and being patient with us as we navigated our first ride. We (jeff/ang and george/michelle) had a great time and will definately be coming out for more rides. As long as it's not as cold as it was....BRRRR!!

It was nice to meet everyone and hope to see you all soon!

...I know I am supposed to behave, but THAT is funny!!!!

RJ and Celia checking in... We just wanted to thank everyone for a great time this weekend. The ice was rather challenging, but fun. Celia is now completely hooked on wheeling. She even wants a Jeep herself... Just Kidding. But hopefully she'll come around.

Also, wanted to thank everyone who helped me with my little tire blow out. It's great to wheel with a supportive crew like you guys.

Thanks to all and see you next month... God Bless!

Seriously though, great day, cold or not. I had a great time as usual. I'll have Ken's pics posted up as soon as he mails me the disc...he took over 200 pics with that awesome digital SLR.
