It was awesome to meet you, and good work getting those springs on that bugger.

We had a great time and Kiera finally approves of my addiction to TRS and accepts it.

It was great to meet some good people that without trs I wouldn't have met!


Mmm... this thread is gravy...

 

[ranger_mclaren]

One other member showed before we all got there 'ohio ranger 93'. Other than that, that was it. I'll post my pics once they finish loading. I'm going to send this PM this thread to Jim and black so we all post in the same section.

The next morning I was finally able to join the pack.

Yep thats me and Jims baby.

I had a ton of fun. And would do it again tomarrow minus the springs. Thanks again to Jims friend John for the repair I wouldn't have made it home without it. Thanks for all the laughs, the stories and the breakfast Vanessa and Jim!! Breakfast was very good!!

glad to help out a fellow TRS member and enjoy some great times together sorry i couldn't stay the night sounds like i missed out on a great ending to the weekend..thanks to everyone who came and especially for Jim and Vanessa for putting up there house and garage so we could meet there..

couldn't ask for a better weekend guys.

Sorry I didn't end up making it, hopefully next time I woln't have to bail at the last minute, looks like ya'll enjoyed it. All I got to do was work on fixing stuff around home. Still don't have the engine in dad's Ranger. Got all set to drop it in and ran into trouble getting it to fit, so I had to pull it back out and do some re-arranging.

 

[fishman67]

Great time! great to meet everyone, Patty and I had a great time. Many thanks to Jim and Vanessa for all that they do. Lee

 

[Jim Oaks]

Here's a few more. I swear I took a photo with rangerbum and Kiera in it, but I can't find it. Anyone else have one? Anyone have a pic of people playing corn hole?

Vanessa and I had a great time. We had (10) guests total Saturday. '93 Ohio Ranger' and his friend Madison showed up early and left before everyone else got there, but everyone else was there till late. It was great to finally meet Rangerbum and Kiera, Fishman67 and his wife, along with ranger_mclaren and his wife.

Fishman67 and his wife were a riot.

Somehow my wife had a bug fly down her shirt.

Grey had to head home around 11:30pm, and fishman67 and his wife left a little before him, but the rest of us went to Dennys and grabbed some food. Then we all crashed at our house. Since there were just the (5) staying the night we had them sleep in the house.

It was all definitely gravy.

I think we'll be definitely doing this again next year.

We all need to get together again sometime.

 

[ranger_mclaren]

I was thinking the same thing about rangerbum and kira, I hope James got some pics of them I wanted to get a photo of all of us a dennys but I left my camera at your house when I was cleaning up. I wish I could have interacted a bit more but that focus took up all day. I look forward to all of us getting together again.

 

[93 Ohio Ranger]

Wish i could have stayed longer! Madison wasnt feeling the best. So we went to her house and than noticed our friend totalled his truck so helped him out than went to the super nats for a while. I must say i wish i came later so i could have met every one. We need to have another meet before winter?

 

[Black'03LevelII]

Jim I did get a couple of pics of people playin cornhole, well just Vanessa being a goof about the game! As soon as photo bucket is done loading eveything I have I will load some pics up!

 

[Black'03LevelII]

These first two pics are from a convoy I seen on the way to go meet up with Ranger_McLaren and his wife.

there was 15 vehicles total, unfortunately I didn't get the phone ready quick enough to catch the deuce and a half

scenic view from Jim's driveway! I would like to come back and take pics of the colours in the fall!
