Alto - Jan 28

[davido]

JANUARY 28, not February 28

We're planning a trip to at least ride some ATVs that weekend.

Anyone else want to go?

[BroncoJo]

Do you mean January 28? We discussed this at the last meeting and there was plenty of interest

[MR.ZAP]

TAMOR members are clairvoyant...

[davido]

TAMOR members are clairvoyant...

Well I guess we know who ended up with the Word of the Day Calendar at WTWE... as if.

[MR.ZAP]

Hahaha I wish I got to participate in the WTWE, whole trip sounded fantastic.

[sam_hodnett]

WTF does that even mean?

[MR.ZAP]

Iron Maiden introduced me to that word as a child... :haha:

clair-voy-ant   [klair-voi-uhnt]
adjective

1. having or claiming to have the power of seeing objects or actions beyond the range of natural vision: Not being clairvoyant, I did not foresee the danger of ignoring her advice. Synonyms: psychic, telepathic, prescient, second-sighted, visionary; intuitive, empathic; predictive, prophetic.

[heathermcc]

if this happens i would be interested. jeff and ryan garner seemed interested too, neither of them seem to check this very often though

[BroncoJo]

So who all is going to this??

[MR.ZAP]

Me

[TdmayfieldIV]

Maybe me

[heathermcc]

depending on whether the jeep is ready i am. ryan is on the fence still but im trying to convince him.

[rgarner92]

I would like to go but I gotta see how things pan out with my older sisters birthday...

[MR.ZAP]

Sam, you need to email all of the prospective members and let them know. We need a meeting place and a time though.

[Hellbent]

Ill be going. probably just for the day on saturday tho

[JB]

Maybe on the Honda.

[heathermcc]

ryan and i dont have class friday so if he decides to go we will probably head there friday morning/early afternoon

[bcolman]

I may be in! But would need a seat

[sam_hodnett]

Noah was talking about going, I am down to go but will need a trail seat :flipoff2:

[Deluxe]

I'd be down for a day trip Saturday but gotta get my shift covered at work

[Seth]

ryan and jeff garner? relation?

[heathermcc]

too many ryans so i specified which one, generally most people know jeff

[JB]

ryan and jeff garner? relation?

Dont think so.

[Sharpe]

too many ryans so i specified which one, generally most people know jeff

Ryans and Roberts strictly go by last names. Jeff is not Jeff. Jeff is Weeble. [/discussion]

[rgarner92]

Yeah sorry guys I'm not related to jeff...

[Weeble]

going!

[MR.ZAP]

Shweeeeet

[Seth]

I was confused because there is a Jeff Garner who used to be in the club, I wasn't sure if he had snuck a younger family member into the ranks or something.

[Deluxe]

Shift is covered!

[MR.ZAP]

Nice, this is looking good... We need a time and place to meet up.

[heathermcc]

for obvious reason im tentatively going

[sam_hodnett]

Shift is covered!

You mind if I catch a ride out there and a trail seat with you? if you are just going on saturday

[Deluxe]

You mind if I catch a ride out there and a trail seat with you? if you are just going on saturday

yeah man thats fine, just goin saturday

[Deluxe]

oh and I think calebs going to meet up with us on the way from huntsville to go

[85cj7]

Isn't Alto about 2 hrs. from CS? You guys are driving all the way out there, paying for gas, and the $40 entry fee for an afternoon of wheeling? (If so then the new generation of college students has more cash then I ever did)

Anyone staying fri-sat or sat-sun?

[rgarner92]

Jeff me heather and a couple others are goin up Friday afternoon

[Deluxe]

is it really 40 for one day?

[85cj7]

is it really 40 for one day?

My understanding is that it is a flat 3 day pass for $40. That's why if I'm going to make the haul I'm going to make it count. But please correct me if I am mistaken b/c i would love to pay less. Anyone know for sure? I couldn't find anything on their website about prices.

[Kyle.]

Im down to go if it doesnt cost 40 bucks. I have my first day of work sunday so it would only be a day trip. not worth 40 bucks and skipping meals for a week to pay for gas.

[AggieTJ2007]

the $40 is only on special event weekends. if it is just a regular weekend it is much cheaper like $10 per day.

[sam_hodnett]

I dont think so, that is just event weekends. Last time i think it was 15 or 20 for driver and 10 for passenger

[Deluxe]

I dont think so, that is just event weekends. Last time i think it was 15 or 20 for driver and 10 for passenger

sounds a lot better

[JB]

Someone needs to call to confirm open and prices

[85cj7]

Someone needs to call to confirm open and prices

X2

I'm thinking about making it out for this. Sure is going to be sloppy though.

[Deluxe]

damn rain

[Hellbent]

yea alto mud! I am going, taking joop, ranger (if it runs) and probably tommys pos... And leaving saturday morning for just a day trip i am sure.

[MR.ZAP]

No mud for me, but hopefully this keeps the dust down. However, we can do baptisms for the new guys in the mud... :haha:

[Kyle.]

alright I'm in. if anyone wants to help me alittle on gas i have seats available in my jeep!
yeah i generally avoid the mud. hopefully the trails will still be fun. atleast i have a winch now! haha

[Hellbent]

mud pussies

[MR.ZAP]

RRDH mofugga. :flipoff2:

[Kyle.]

will it even be worth going after the death storm we had this morning? Gonna rain all day today and possibly some tomorrow too. not say im wimping out just yet haha

[Sharpe]

Worth going?!?!? The rain should be a bigger incentive! Alto sucks when its dry.

[sam_hodnett]

Worth going?!?!? The rain should be a bigger incentive! Alto sucks when its dry.

^this^

[heathermcc]

its supposed to be done raining their either today or tomorrow

[JB]

So is it open this weekend? What time is everyone leaving on Saturday morning?

[sam_hodnett]

We are meeting at mcdonalds at 9. And good question, has anyone called?

[MR.ZAP]

Noooope

[davido]

The mud is fun too. Bring a few changes of clothes and keep your feet dry. It should be epic after the amount of rain we've had. Some of these mud lovers have been pent up for nearly a year without much to play in out there. Forecast is nice days and cold nights. No rain. We'll see.

I was planning on going Friday. Anyone else?

Anyone want to confirm they're open? I emailed them, but I'm doubtful on remembering to make a phone call during business hours. I give it a 50/50 shot as hearing back from them in the next 6 weeks. :)

[rgarner92]

Me heather and Jeff are all going friday

[GWadley]

It's about time I got back into wheeling with yall. Count me in, I won't be leaving until 10:30ish though.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Nice, good to see you're still around man. I'm sure we won't leave till late morning because we'll all be hungover as usual.

[MR.ZAP]

Well we are meeting up at 9 at McDonald's, but the Tommy caravan can leave later I guess :flipoff2:

[85cj7]

Does anyone know if they are open tomorrow-sat.?

[BroncoJo]

Since when has alto ever not been open on a weekend?

If your worried about it call for yourself and share the info

[JB]

Really? An officer needs to call and make sure its open. Ill do it tomorrow for ya'll though b/c it's so hard. I will be pretty busy, but I am going to do my best to pull 5 minutes out of my day tomorrow to ensure that a dozen 90210 slapdick TAMORites dont drive 120 miles one way for no reason.


:)

Agree. Thanks JB.

I'm going to call during my lunch break tomorrow around noon just to make sure. It's pretty amazing to me that full time students (with less than stellar GPAs) cannot pick up a phone between classes and make a call.

[KrazyKarl02]

My freshman year I did not have a cell phone, so long distance calling could have been an excuse...

[BroncoJo]

Instead of bitching in this thread why don't one of you ****s pick up the phone and call? :flipoff2:

[heathermcc]

i called a couple times and got no answer. ill call again before we leave

[85cj7]

I gave it 3 shots, 30 mins apart with no answer.

I've got the wheeling bug this weekend but don't think Alto is worth the drive and gas money for a big mud pit that I'll be cleaning off for weeks. Going to hit up Bridgeport OHV this Sunday instead for a some rocks. Invite to anyone who wants to join.

[TdmayfieldIV]

I dont understand this. Daily driver rigs don't want to wheel cause they could break and the built rigs dont want to go in the mud because they'll get dirty. I think yall need to find another hobby because you will definately get dirty anywhere you go wheeling and you'll definately break something every once in a while.

[BroncoJo]

My freshman year I did not have a cell phone, so long distance calling could have been an excuse...

Did you chisel notes in stone too?

Reading comprehension. . . Try it.

I like wheeling; not 'muddin'.

You also have an earring. Correlation or causation?

[Deluxe]

alto better be fawkin open

[MR.ZAP]

Bet it will be, I called as well, no answer. I got first dibs on helicopter hill!!!!! :D

[Deluxe]

love that we went from no one calling to like 5 after all that bitchin :D

[85cj7]

The hair got cut and the earrings came out once I started caring about all of the BS that comes with working for a land development firm. I feel like if I hear about Utilization rates, Multipliers, Cost to complete reports, or complicated 10 digit task numbers one more time I'm going to go postal. It's been a long few months if you couldn't tell.

[robertf03]

we have 11 digit task numbers. hows that for complicated?

[85cj7]

Did anybody head out today?

We are here and they are open. There is a little mud but not a whole bunch. We are doin some night wheelin :)

Sweet ass trip, Kyle did break a drive shaft though.

[JB]

Axleshaft

[Kyle.]

[MR.ZAP]

Yes, axleshaft, long day haha was fun otherwise.

[Sparling]

[MR.ZAP]

Yup, front driver.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Evan and I both exploded some wheels. Other than that, turned out well I think.

[Deluxe]

Just got back, had a good time

[JB]

Pretty sure I fractured my wrist and jacked up my knee. hit a washout prettyquick, and stopped pretty quick

[Weeble]

trip was awesome! last night was colllllldddddd but the wheeling was great. having new guys come out was pretty fun too. we're expanding! haha

[Sharpe]

Evan and I both exploded some wheels. Other than that, turned out well I think.

Exploded some wheels? Blew beads?

[Kyle.]

I think both wheels were bent to ****, especially evans

[JB]

...

[Sharpe]

At least it wasn't your face like Frick and Eckert!

[KrazyKarl02]

There goes your social life :flipoff2:

[JB]

Fractured radius
Fractured ulna
Fractured scaphoid
Knee is all swollen up
Probably bruised some upper ribs

per St. Joes Express. Dr said I should have gone ER. *****:D

Have to see an orthopedist next week. So far, this really sucks

[KrazyKarl02]

Oh man, that does sound bad. How fast were you going when you hit the wash out?

[Sharpe]

Did you spill your beer?

[JB]

Dave O was behind me. Maybe 10-15mph? I dunno, maybe less. There was a good 2 sec of realization that this was going to suck. Gotta get a atv with brakes

[MR.ZAP]

JB, was Dave the one taking video?

[Kyle.]

did no one tell garret to disconnect his sway bars? his jk should have plenty of flex

[Hellbent]

doubt he knows what that is

[MR.ZAP]

Tommy, you are an idiot... hahaha

[davido]

Great time. I was shocked to see the park almost empty. I was way off in my prediction there. It was awesome having it all to ourselves, just flying through all of the trails. I saw parts of the park I had never seen. The recent water made every little hole full of water. Made it fun. I didn't see any dust until the main roads late on Saturday. That was nice for a change.

That sucks about your wrist John. We were moving at a better pace than 10MPH. You hit it hard. Could have been any of us also.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Tommy, you are an idiot... hahaha

Why? Personal attack........banned:flipoff2:

[MR.ZAP]

I mean I have every tool that I could need in the back of my Jeep, but you can't say that people should have extra shafts and crap. Do you know how expensive JK shafts are? Stub is $65 at the cheapest, inners and outers start at a cool $149. And which one do you get? 30 passenger? 44 driver? It's just not practical unless you are made of money, or you drive something that was made during the ****ing oil embargo :haha: Not attacking you at all broham, just saying...

Sorry to hear this, that really sucks. The scaphoid bone is one of the last bones you ever want to break, takes forever to heal compared to the radius and ulna. I broke the scaphoid in my right hand and was in a full hand cast for months. And when I say full hand cast, I mean forget about using that hand for awhile. I'm going to try to attach a pic of what I mean, but I'm not sure if it's gonna work on my phone.

I agree, I'm at the replace it as you break it point financially. Don't have much of an option...

[TdmayfieldIV]

I think for a vehicle which requires a stub shaft to drive, a $65 stub shaft is good insurance. $200 in fluids and tools makes you almost completely self sufficinent.

[TdmayfieldIV]

It was originally the right thread

I decided this was the wrong thread.......bite me

oh sorry, all hail the all powerful thuper moderator tummy

[AggieTJ2007]

I agree, I'm at the replace it as you break it point financially. Don't have much of an option...

you know you can pull just the inner, leave the stub in the unit bearing stuff a rag in the axle tube and drive for a couple of weeks without any problems

also $300 for a set of shafts is pretty cheap,

[Deluxe]

Yeah that's what was done on kyles

The stub doesn't even need to still have ears on it!

No one got my gas money reference? ****ing new army...

I got it, it was hilarious and I thought i wrote out a small narrative about it, guess it didnt post

[Kyle.]

also $300 for a set of shafts is pretty cheap,

yeah its 300 for just the driver side, ill have to shell out another 300 for the passenger side soon. Im going with superior discovery axle shafts. should do the trick.

[AggieTJ2007]

yeah its 300 for just the driver side, ill have to shell out another 300 for the passenger side soon. Im going with superior discovery axle shafts. should do the trick.

make sure you put good ujoints in there, it would be a waste to get alloy shafts and run stock u-joints

i have a friend looking at 4 wheelers. send me specs and price and another friend who would probably want the trailer,

[Hellbent]

Jeff i didnt know you were goin down in the creek or i would have stayed down there.

[JB]

Surgery on Monday to put a screw in my scaphoid:( Hopefully the ligaments are ok so I do not have to get pins put in. Possibly just a splint afterwards for a few months instead of a cast. That would be nice

High deductible because I am young and invincible blah blah blah:( I will have to change that next reenrollment.

It felt fine this weekend so I worked with it and reinstalled my steering ram, spliced my winch rope back together, and tore the winch setup off the 04 in prep for the new bumper. Was pretty aching that night. Chest is ok. Knee is still pretty sore and I will probably have to get it looked at. Will probably need some TAMOR assistance in installation of the new bumper and winch

Sucko

Hopefully I will be fully healed to win TCC X again:gigem:

[Sparling]

Just a screw or a plate too? I have 5 screws in my wrist. It healed pretty quick and there wasn't any pain after surgery. My arm was completely numb for 2 days after surgery though. Let me know when you need help.

[JB]

He didn't mention plates. Dr. is very smart guy but was poor at describing the injury in simple terms. Seems like it will be pretty routine though. The impact fractured several other bones in the hand in a pattern that is not really typical. I am getting a 2nd opinion tomorrow just to be sure. If left untreated, it can cause arthritis later, which I don' want.

Thanks for the offer. I was planning on just taking it over to Travis' and getting some guys to help out. I haven't told Travis this yet.:)

[Sparling]

Yeah, I've already got some arthritis in my wrist but I only ever have issues with it when it's cold.

[sam_hodnett]

Give me a call if you need anything

[JB]

Just one screw. Surgery was 2 hours. On painkillers now. This whole ordeal sucks I will find out more on Thursday as to how long till its healed up

[DRAGOONRANCH]

That sucks, but glad it wasn't any worse.

[JB]

Healing up nicely. Prob at 50% use right now
