OH yeah and thanks to Fred "the kool-aid man" brune and the rest of the brune clan for all the help.

PS trailer brakes are overrated. I bet I left some kick ass skid marks on the off ramp for the exit before OSR. :gigem:

well after being stuck in traffic for 2 and a half hours because of a 18 wheeler wreck/that turned into a fire. The pete ran out of diesel inbetween waxahachie and hillsboro. So i went to hillsboro, got petro and some starting fluid, and rowdy got us on the road. Well after fueling up we had to stop in waco to drop of creightons jeep and switch riders. i rolled into college station at 12:45 am after leaving clayton at 1 pm, that sucked almost as bad as having to get up this morning and be at work at 7 30 am, after not getting to bed till after 2

Did krebs even bring his truck?

I hope you had a bandana on just for good measure. :gigem:

Is Fredo's migdet still hanging in there?

Krebs trailer toasted a bearing next to Sardis lake. Fred went and picked them up. We then let Krebs borrow our trailer to go to CS, and Fred towed Krebs trailer to Dallas where were trying to fix it up. I got to drive the Belle home, and dad towed Fred's Scout. Krebs is supposed to be coming to swap back tonight so they can hold The Krebs Family Great Christmas Tractor Move later this week. It was your basic clusterfawk, but it worked out good because now the Kingwood kids couldn't be pissed at Fred crashing their door down and me spraying them with a garden hose at 4 in the morning. :flipoff2:

In hindsight that was pretty damn funny, especially the look on fred's face when he busted through. It was like a little kid caught playing with his wiener, and then he went back to pissed.

Its probably a good thing i hadnt drank anything that night, as I would've run my mouth ALOT more and me and Fredo would've exchanged blows and both of us would've gotten hurt. Me with a broken jaw and fred with a broken hand :D

ill get mine up tonight after work. My friend keith has about 45 minutes of video also.

My trailer got a flat just outside of calvert and with no spare and to much wieght for one axle i had to drive the bronco home, only to get pulled over at anderson and proceed to get 3 tickets....

Man that sucks a fatty!

THis was a wierd ass trip, but as Jimmy said it was indeed legendary!

So far tow rig/trailer carnage:
Me - hit krebs trash can and got fairly unnoticable dent above tail pipe
Me - freaking basketball goal gets blown over in wind and puts a dent in the the bed rail (WTF?)
Ed - ran out of go-juice
Clarke - trailer flat/run-in with Johnny Law
Me/Krebs - trailer bearing

I think we had more breakage on trailers/tow rigs than we did on the trail.
