I had a truck do that, it was the clutch finally going out. Hope they can get yours fixed, I always hate having a car in the shop.Bird wrote:IMPORTANT: My truck wouldn't get me home tonight. Had to drop it off at the shop with the keys to see what needs to be done. Transmission is slipping ... BAD. Can't do more than 10 mph without the engine red lining. I may not have the truck for my daily 200 lbs of ice to the camp site. Obviously, the Viper can't haul the ice chests that are the size of small coffins. Get some ice to get you through Sat morning and we'll see if I get the truck back tomorrow.
Sorry, Guys, but I didn't plan this one.

Here's a list of what I'll be bringing after I get out of work.
24 pack of Coke
24 pack of Sprite
Tons of cookies
My large cooler loaded with drinks and ice
Orange cooler loaded with clean ice
Table
2 extra chairs
If anyone needs me to pick anything else up, speak now or forever hold your pee.

Re: Camping - Apr 30 - May 2
I've got my 9 lbs of chihuahua, a big bottle of mojito mix + tonic and a handle of rum, a bit of water and gatorade, four chairs. I think I'm going to pick up some watermelon on the way out. Also, since my work area has been torn up to replace the carpet and I'm sitting here at someone elses computer, I'm wondering what time we can head down there. What time is everyone else planning on getting there?

I get out of class at 1:30, and then I'll be going home, packing up the truck and heading out, so hopefully I will be there before 5

Re: Camping - Apr 30 - May 2
I'm definitely out for tonight, sorry guys. Have a good time this weekend.
Re: Camping - Apr 30 - May 2
They are open now, you can show up at any time, just let them know you're with campsites 74 and 75. More than likely they've been empty all week. Should I bring my weedwacker?

Re: Camping - Apr 30 - May 2
Probably a good idea. What time are you heading down? I'm thinking once I'm done with lunch...

Re: Camping - Apr 30 - May 2
Just to let everyone know, I'm not sure if I will make it out or not. I am going to try, but I didn't realize I had a wedding to go to tomorrow evening, and we're shopping for my son's 1yr old birthday party. I will try and make it out sometime either sat or more than likely on sun. Have fun everyone and someone drink one for me

we will be getting out of hand on either account
Re: Camping - Apr 30 - May 2
I'll be heading out just as soon as I can get out of work. I've got everything by the door ready to throw in the truck just as soon as I get home. I'll swing by and pick up ice and then be there. I'm going to try like hell to get down there around 4 or 5.

Here is the funnel of death, just to help illustrate
Funnel of Death
I'm think it is probably crown and coke in the funnel in this pic. However, DO NOT BONG EVERCLEAR, unless you like broken bones.
