'BanditFest' April 2012 In Austin, Tx

[Gmanpaint]

Ya know...I will make it down there one of these days for a meet. You guys just keep having meets around the same time us guys a little east of you throws one.

Week after this meet is the big Smorr run of the year, so I def cant make this one

[KF5ZXT]

I guess some effort needs to be expended to coordinate communications.

[TxPlates]

Sonds like Gman needs to plan a little better around us... hahaha :p

[KF5ZXT]

Hahaha - who's effort did you think I meant? Hahahah.

[TxPlates]

BAM!

[MrQ]

Can't believe I haven't posted yet, but yes I will be coming to this. I think Russell would be disappointed if I didn't.

[nice59fordf100]

[KF5ZXT]

Fortunately its just minor things to fix this time around.

Cruise control
Left Rear speaker not working

And if there is time, my rear windshield wiper. However ineffective, its still better than nothing on a rainy morning.

Thanks in advance Russell.

Also the 33's go on Red this week, so I'll get a chance to do a real road test with them when I head up to Austin.

[nice59fordf100]

Pretty much parker

[Kris Guilbeaux]

glad i took off already

[nice59fordf100]

Ok, heres the rough game plan. I would like to roll out Saturday, 4/28, morning with everything packed and ready to go. So Friday, 4/27, any one that wants to show up and help load is welcome too. Youre welcome to arrive 4/26 was well.

Blue and shade will be drivable and thus loaded with my mote immediate belongings (clothes, sheets, etc). We will need a driver for each. I need two trailers (Randall/justin and mike, im begging yall for this ) for stripe and the navajo, which will also be.loaded with junk. I will drive the uhaul. The 59 will stay in Oklahoma at a friends house in the meantime. So, with all of yall help, Im hoping to to do this all smoothly. I budgetted some money for gas and such and will help where I can. Again guys, thank you so much

[KF5ZXT]

I'll help how I can. I am available 4/26-29.

[KF5ZXT]

One option is to all meet at Guilbeaux's (sans Russell) on Friday, and once Parker shows up, head out caravan style. It sounds like we need two tow rigs, two trailers, and two extra drivers (Parker and Guilbeaux). I'd probably drive to Victoria first to get one of the trailers, then I imagine Justin and I will drive up to Guilbeaux's. Russell, do the two vehicles that need to be driven back have CB's? (I like to be able to communicate with people in the caravans without having to rely on cell phones). I have an extra magnetic CB antenna that could be attached to something in a pinch. Looks like 650 miles each way, for me, going that route.

I'm avail as well friday after I get off work. I can just go straight from work in my company car and meet ya'll over at Kris's and leave it there till we get back. I would need to be back sunday to go to work on Monday (I hate work - end of rant). I already called dibs on driving shade back I have two cobra walkie talkies so that I can atleast have a back up way of getting in touch with someone on the other end should cells fail if we don't have enough portable CB radios. As far as contributing money, I can pay for the gas to get shade to Austin, not much but little bit of less of a burden. If we need anything else before the the great ride, speak up!

[nice59fordf100]

All excellent ideas guys! Blue and shade are minus cbs so that might be a problem. Parker, we should arrive at kris's Saturday evening sometime. Randall,.you are correct on the two tow rigs and trailers.

[TxPlates]

I wonder if my hand held cb radios will work with the other regular ad great we arrive sat, we're just in time to celebrate your new home with adult beverages.

Well, the move is one thing to celebrate, sure..but I just realized..Im moving exactly on Blue's twentieth birthday.

[TxPlates]

Ok, you're killing me. You have got to choose one or the other. I'm voting the move

[Kris Guilbeaux]

i have a cb we can hook up in blue i would just need to get power to it. it does not have an attenna thou
