2018 summer gmt 360 midwest meet Aug 10-12

[Grimor]

Well, looks like I'm hosting another meet lol. Only week completely off the table is the first week in July. Pretty much anything else works. I'd be willing to do up a half hog, couple chickens, hamburgers and hot dogs.

Pool may or may not be up by then.

Elkhart is a decent size town as far as having all the normal food and stores. Anything we don't have is not far in South Bend. Pretty easy to get to without going down hours of small roads.

Any hotel in Elkhart is close enough. If you don't mind an air mattress in the living room or kids rooms, people can crash in the house, or I have a few extra tents. Could probably even put the RTT on the TB. Someone pick a date that works for everyone.

Thank you sir! I was thinking either August 10-11 or August 17-18, I guess those days would carry into Sunday. Depending on off you wanted to do a Friday-Sunday or just Saturday. Anything in August is pretty much open for us right now!

Thanks for being the host site once again for a mid west meet.

 

[Matt]

Personally, August 10-11th works better for me.

And a big thank you to Dennis!

 

[rizzo20]

Hmmm, just under a 7 hour , 400 mile trip west on I-80 for me. That seems doable

 

[Sparky]

I'm out. Kid is due middle of August (so realistically anytime that whole month), so leaving for a couple days would be a really bad idea. Next time.

Are you trying to say you aren't coming? Sorry, been waiting to hit you with that for a week or so.

That works, we will see what dates the host approves of lol

Make the trip!

 

[Mooseman]

I could probably make that. For the wifey, depends on if she can get the time off.

 

[Grimor]

Perfect! Thanks again! I will definitely chip in for food and everything you are planning on getting. Don’t want you to have to find the whole thing yourself.

This isn’t popping up?

 

[Matt]

It did for me when I clicked on the link.

Aside from the Apple Pie, let me know what else I can help with.

Also, do you think there might be a few people that would want to have their trucks tuned? I was thinking that either we could see if @limequat would want to come down or if anyone else with a tuner and the know how would do it.

It is giving me this message

I’d love to have mine tuned, especially if it saves me the drive!

 

[rizzo20]

Same error for me.

 

[Matt]

Were you guys invited? PM me your FB names and I'll send the invite to you.

 

[Grimor]

it's open to invites and invites from invitees, so if it doesn't show up for anyone on facebook just ask for an invite. I didn't really want to list it as a public event lol. Betwen here and facebook we should be able to get everyone that wants to come to the right place.

 

[rizzo20]

I was thinking about trying to bring my small propane smoker to smoke some meat but Im seceretly hoping my cargo space will have a set of 18" Denali wheels that one of you may want to buy from me😆

In all seriousness let me know what I can do food wise to help out.......Im looking forward to the meet ....and finding a nice home for these wheels. 😉

 

[tsmith1156]

Dennis I’ll message you on Facebook, I know your obviously not buying the food yet but I’ll send you some money when you are to help cover whatever you are getting. I have a Costco membership so I might try to grab 2-3 extra packs of water before we come.

 

[Mooseman]

Water? What is this?

 

[tsmith1156]

Water? What is this?

Lol, I like to drink alcohol but I try to drink between 90-120 ounces of water a day

 

[Mooseman]

I'll be bringing some Canadian hooch. I'll have to check to see how much I can bring over the border. I just hope Canadian pesos don't keep sliding or it'll get more expensive for me.

 

[Matt]

 

[Grimor]

I only check in here every so often. Feel free to spread the word around. Pretty much everyone is welcome, even if you aren't in the facebook event.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Trying to figure logistics since 4 car seats wont quite fit in the TB...

 

[Sparky]

Roof rack.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

I like your style...

I was thinking the enclosed trailer, but roof rack would give them more adventure

 

[Sparky]

Fresh air should do them good, right?

 

[djthumper]

Keep it to the little ones so that there isn't as much drag.

 

[Mooseman]

I thought the roof was for granny?

That’s why I’m cutting my kids count off at 3 lol. We rarely take the tb anywhere as a family anymore. We use the van.

 

[Mooseman]

So just to confirm, it's the weekend of Aug 10 to 12?

 

[Matt]

Yes sir. BTW, of anyone wants a pan hard drop bracket, Erik will have them. $60 which is $10 less than "normal" price.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

I offered him $20 on the book of faces for one but response...

Fo shizzle

 

[rizzo20]

Circled on the calendar!

 

[rizzo20]

I'm debating on the Red Roof Inn , the Sleep Inn or the Garden Inn. Looks to be about $140-$160 for two nights.

 

[Sparky]

I think I stayed at the Red Roof when I was there last.

 

[tsmith1156]

We’re gonna stay somewhere with a pool for the kiddos, not too sure yet where though

 

[Hatchet]

So there might be some bass coming... How well do you like your neighbors?
