Shit that looks like it hurt.

If you need any help setting up for farm fest let me know. I also have a rather large "stage" that I picked up if you would like to use it.

That's the funny thing... it really didn't hurt much. In fact I didn't really feel shit until halfway through the car ride. After that the pain came on and steadily worsened for the next 30 minutes... then it hurt like a MOTHER FUCKER. I was really happy when the doc showed up with the cortisone shots. After that I couldn't feel a thing. Even sat there and watched the guy pick bits of glove out and clean the wound. I like that stuff. What sucks is Michele took the stitches out yesterday and the damn wound opened up. So I'm trying to be really careful with it for the next couple weeks.

As far as your offer... I love you. I hadn't even considered another trailer but that's a great idea. The band was actually asking if we could expand the stage this year and I was like... uh... it's a trailer dude... I can't make it any bigger. But we could park yours next to/in front of mine and they should have plenty of room. Good call man! I'm taking that Thursday off so if you want to come over.... we'll put you to work, but we'll be drinking!

talskinyguy · 06-05-2008, 10:29 PM

I already have that Thursday off actually....

And my trailer is 30 feet long, it will probably be plenty.

I also noticed that the dealership gave me the wrong plates for my truck, so I need to get new plates for the weight I will be running, which is $174.....fuck me......

Damon · 06-06-2008, 08:34 AM

Ouch... those plate fees blow. The trailer length isn't the issue though, it's the width since that will be the depth of the stage. How high is the deck off the ground?

talskinyguy · 06-06-2008, 09:20 AM

Yeah, the odd thing is now I have been paying attention to what plates are on different trucks, and there are a lot of trucks with the wrong plates on them.

The deck of the trailer is about 30" off the ground.

Perfect, I may have to modify the drum riser slightly to hook onto/sit on the side of yours. How about you park it at my place after the NG so I can figure it out?

talskinyguy · 06-06-2008, 10:37 AM

That works for me

GTOGIRL3000 · 06-06-2008, 12:12 PM

Holy crap Damon!

Glad you didn't lose your thumb!!

talskinyguy · 06-06-2008, 12:54 PM

Sooooooo

The NG is basically a week away. I assume everyone is going to be heading down 57 since its the shortest drive. Does anyone else have a different plan?

Is anyone else trailering their car? Someone said Dan might be?

And does anyone have room in their car/truck for passengers. I need to keep my weight down in my truck as much as possible so I was hoping either Dave or Pete could grab a ride with someone else. And I know Matt (stealthxtreme4) is also looking for a ride.

Dave and Pete, I would like to load the cars up ahead of time. I have that Sunday and Monday off work before we leave. Would either of those days work for you guys? I would like the lightest car loaded first, and I'm assuming that's Pete's, but correct me if I'm wrong.
