whos in this year? i had the dirty thirty all ready to go, and i just finished up the duece and a half.
then i let my daughters drive the suburban down the road. seems it broke the alignment bushing on the oil pump drive, and they didnt get it shut down in time. so it will be a mad dash to get the 454 out and maybe a 496 put in.
the duece and a half turned out great, will will load it down with people and be cruising the pit for sure. i put a locker in the rear for good measure.
I was thinking about going with a buddy who wanted a reserved spot for his RV but they were all sold out or reserved spots. Didn't feel like going over and waiting in line. We'll see what happens. Would like to check it out once.
we dropped the campers off last night. they said we could not get six spots together in the A camping area but we did find some on the south tip of the campground.
i let my daughters play around in the suburban sunday before last. lost the oil pump, they tried to drive it back to the shop. so i bought a rebuilt short block. put that in and fired it up teusday and it ran for about 5 minutes. pulled it back out to find dirt in the oil passages. so the builder is putting together a new 454 today so i might get it in and done by the weekend. ain't no rest for the wicked keeps running through my mind.
The deuce and a half is done, even the bar down the center of the bed. I'll have my daughter paint the rims this weekend.
I deliver all the ice to the event, so I don't get to visit much. He opened up 200 more acres for camping at this one, and told me to expect to need twice as much ice as last time. It sounds like he's shooting for a big crowd this time.
i talked with him the other day, it has been acting like it is going to be a big event for sure. i worked on my durango last night. it will be ready for sure. still have not got the motor for the suburban yet. we did load up the deuce on the trailer last night. it will be a damn good time for sure.
