Good deal, man. Was looking forward to seeing Jim's little red 'engine that could' again. That ride impressed me... Alas, regardless what he rolls in this year it'll be good to see him.Quote:

BX,
Looking forward to meeting you. It'll be a hoot (don't pollute). You'll want to PM Biju for meeting details as I am just the guy who is feeding people when they reach Grand Junction.
I think you are the one who left me a vmail.....I'll try to get in touch with you soon.
Are you the ebony I see on I-25 North at 6:45 am between Denver and Ft. Collins?
Count Me In For The Convoy!
Any of the out of state-ers coming in to Denver Sun. nite and getting a hotel in the Golden area? Tone, Lisa, and I will be driving up from OK Sun. and looking at staying somewhere close to the parking lot where Biju is meeting everyone at 7:30 am (ugh!) on Mon. Woulod be fun to have a mini meet/greet for dinner or drinks, maybe take over part of the same hotel/motel.
J - if you gather sunday night give me a ring. i'll join ya for eats/drinks.Quote:

Thanks.
The only problem with this thread is that after reading it, I always walk away humming CW McCall's "Convoy" song...which I really hate.
Lyrics for: Convoy
"Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck.
You got a copy on me, Pigpen? C'mon."
"Ah, yeah, ten-four, Pigpen, for sure, for sure.
By golly, it's clean clear to Flagtown. C'mon."
"Yeah, that's a big ten-four there, Pigpen.
Yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy.
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy."
It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
And a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We's headin' for bear on Eye-one-oh
'Bout a mile outta Shakeytown
I says, "Pigpen, this here's Rubber Duck
And I'm about to put the hammer down"
[Chorus]
'Cause we got a little convoy rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a little convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight
Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA
Convoy!
"Ah, breaker, Pigpen, this here's Duck 'n' you wanna back off them hogs?"
"Ah, ten-four. About 5 mile or so. Ten, roger.
Them hogs is gettin' intense up here."
By the time we got into Tulsa-town
We had 85 trucks in all
But they's a roadblock up on the cloverleaf
And them bears 's wall-to-wall
Yeah, them smokeys as thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear in the air
I says "Callin' all trucks, this here's the Duck
We about to go a-huntin' bear"
'Cause we got a great big convoy rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight
Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA
Convoy
"Ah, you wanna give me a ten-nine on that, Pigpen?
Negatory, Pigpen, you're still too close.
Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses.
Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten"
Well, we rolled up Interstate Forty-Four
Like a rocket-sled on rails
We tore up all of our swindle sheets
And left 'em settin' on the scales
By the time we hit that Chi-town
Them bears was a-gettin' smart
They brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinois National Guard
There's armored cars and tanks and jeeps
And rigs of every size
Yeah, them chicken coops was full of bears
And choppers filled the skies
Well, we shot the line, we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus
In a chartreuse microbus
"Ah, Rubber Duck, this is Sodbuster. C'mon here."
"Yeah, ten-four, Sodbuster.
Listen, ya wanna put that microbus in behind that suicide-jockey?
Yeah, he's haulin' dynamite and he needs all the help he can get."
Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey Shore
Prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But I didn't have a doggone dime
I says "Pigpen, this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll"
So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight
I says, "Let them truckers roll, ten-four"
'Cause we got a mighty convoy rockin' thru the night
Yeah, we got a mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight
Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the USA
Convoy
"Ah, ten-four, Pigpen. What's your twenty? OMAHA?
Well, they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there, for sure.
Well, mercy sakes, good buddy, we gonna back on outta here,
So keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your... tail.
We'll catch you on the flip-flop.
This here's the Rubber Duck on the side. We gone, 'bye, 'bye."
BBQ Planning:
Best I can tell from looking at this thread, we have between 12 and 15 VX's for the BBQ in Grand Junction May 14. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The part that is missing from the equation is how many mouths I am feeding.
So, fess up peeps....if you are planning on crashing the BBQ, what's your head count? Am I feeding 15 peeps or 30 or more? I figure the more, the merrier, but I need to plan the shopping list.
Thanks in advance for the info....you all have touched me deeply. And I like being touched. ;)
Bim
Jay, Lisa and I will be arriving in the FJ.
Jim & I will be there, that's two more.
(Arnold Schwartzenhaugen voice on)
It's NOT a tumor !!! :rolleyes:
Count me in!!
I CAN'T WAIT!!
Me 'n' me better half (2) :)
:confused: I said yay but now its nay as I will be comming up with tom.
count me and girlfriend in for food....
and if you guys meet sunday night please gimme a call ill come grab some dinner....biju should have my number..
It looks like I will be making it in the convoy after all! I am delivering a bedroom set to some friends in Glenwood Springs on the 12th and leaving the following Monday - so I might as well join up with all the cool kids in Glenwood! Bim, I would love to have some BBQ if that is alright - I can bring some elk meat along with me if anyone is interested!? Also, I will be towing my utility trailer; if anyone needs to make some room in their VX (or FJ) you are free to throw some stuff in the trailer.
Awesome Zeus...of course you can crash the BBQ...EVERYONE IS WELCOME AT THE BBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Bim

just a communications reminder:

Channel 9 is usually an emergency channel...at least with CB's!?!?!?!?!?!
I assume he's talking about FRS channel nine (467.5875), with no PL/CTCSS code.Quote:
