TRS Event 2022 TRS Fall Off-Road Round-Up

Not me... my hound stayed home. He's not as civilized as he needs to be. I hope to work with him a bit without the crowd.

Well who does he have for a role model again?

I guess it would depend on the weather. She is a German Sheperd/husky mix, so lots of fur. As it is she can usually be found near the AC vent or in the pool. I would also probably need a dedicated poop shovel.
She experienced rain for the first time the other day and was quite baffled and delighted by it, was confused by thunder but not frightened. Cool thing is despite the huge ears, things like fireworks/ motorcycles/ ranger backfires etc dont startle her. .

She has been great on a day trip road trips so far...and loves wheeling....I'll probly bring her. And maybe a lil pit bike too.

Last night, at the Red Roof Inn, Livvy discovered the "magic box". We would get in and the door would shut automatically. Then we would feel funny, as if we were moving. Then, there was a beep and when the door opened, everything looked different. The next time we got in and went through the process, when the doors opened, everything looked like where we started in the first place. It's amazing.

Oh... he is definitely my dog.

I honestly believe it's a male hound thing. He's un-neutered because I would like to breed a few litters of pups and common to leave your male hunting dogs complete. It makes them a bit more aggressive and fearless. I also think it makes them stubborn.

He really is a good dog... friendly and gets along with other dogs well. He just doesn't like to be on a lead... barks too much and doesn't listen enough to have him around the other dogs and people. It would be a non stop bark fest.

 

[Mrs. Eighty Five]

Bring her.

I brought Livvy.
Jim brought Marley
Laura brought Freya
Bobby brought Rocky

And several of us would like to kill whoever brought the mosquitos. (Really, they weren't terrible compared to other places I've been) pet mosquitoes are hereby permanently banned from TRS events.

Pet mosquitos?? I wonder who brought those… I remember bees.

Finally made it back home. Thanks to all who came out.

Man, I didn’t even think about doing anything like that with the pictures…

 

[Uncle Gump]

My guess is the person that filtered that photo.... also painted this hood.

 

[bobbywalter]

Yeah..that's complicated

Notice that by this time in the mission, there are no longer any redshirts in that landing party.

There is clearly a guy in a red shirt...... lol.

Third on the right, if you count the small child about to slash your trailer tires.

Looks like a good time was had by all and that's all that matters. Everyone facing the camera is smiling

That's not 'red', it's 'pink'. Go get your eyes checked

Yeah. More pinkish. He’s from the media department and got beamed down to get publicity footage to the recruiting department.

Coming into the south end of Attica via paved cattle trail thanks to a GPS screwup.
