TRS Event 2026 Fall Colors Campout

[Jim Oaks]

That's already much better than me. I'm glad you can go. I can't say much, honestly. I hosted a Ford Festiva gathering in a Saturn SL1. I'm looking forward to the pics after the event!

My rhinestone jumpsuit and disco ball?

My rhinestone jumpsuit and disco ball?

If I see nothing else, that will be enough.

That reminds me, has the statute of limitation run out on the photo of you from Badlands yet?

I remember you saying anybody that posted it gets banned.

I’m unfortunately not going to make it. I had a faint hope of making an appearance but life has other plans for me at the moment apparently. Green Ranger is still tore apart and I’m not inclined to take either of my other current vehicles that far. Plus there’s an EMS crisis meeting Thursday evening that I kind of need to attend locally in addition to everything else going on

We are going to be showing up Friday, rather than Thursday. Jessica couldn't get the day off and the new 12 volt refrigerator might not be delivered until then. I got my money's worth out of the other, cheap one but it isn't keeping temp like it should anymore. The replacement is a ICECO, but their delivery speed and notifications aren't all that great. So, we'll see.

@Curious Hound I have a spare mag mount GMRS antenna, if you want me to bring it. It's the one that came with the radio.

EDIT: Well, ICECO's delivery policy is apparently more of a suggested guideline rather than a hard core policy. It won't ship until mid month even though their website says 1-2 business days to process the order and 7-9 days to deliver it. So, we'll be bringing the old one, We might just have to run it on the freezer setting so it will do refrigerator things,

That would be awesome. I am not quite going to make it over to 85's house this afternoon. I had to take mom for her hair appointment this morning.

On the other hand...

This ugly little thing will carry some serious camping gear.

What about regular camping gear? Is there room for that too?

Probably. But I'll leave that home in favor of carrying a little bit of silly camping hear.

You can hear camping and you can carry it? Awesome! I'm looking forward to it!

I brought the antenna up along with the hand held GMRS radios, in case someone needs a radio.

And revision number two, or maybe three, it looks like we'll be able to show up Thursday, just in the evening. We will have to make sure we show up before the office's 8 p.m. closing time.

I'll be there around 2pm tomorrow. Seriously thought about leaving this morning but the washing machine decided to play hard ball. I had to clean and rebuild the lid lock assembly. Both plastic screw bosses broke off. It's working right this minute. Gotta do laundry and pack today. Get in bed and leave early tomorrow.

I'm in the area. I'll get to the campground in a few minutes. For as much as I dislike Moms Flex, it gave me a comfortable ride and I got here with just less than a tank of gas at 23.4mpg. 5 1/2 hours nonstop. I just filled it up and used the restroom at Burger King, just down the road.
