I'm hoping in one hand and doing something else in the other to see what one fills up first... the hope is slipping through my fingers though...

Hopefully my "Road Claws" (straight outta Xi-ling China, baby) will hold up. They are wearing rather quickly. Still have not had a chance to drive much, maybe this weekend

I have 40k on my Hankooks and plan on running them. Slow speeds and smart driving will be kind to our tires. I'm hoping to free up a Saturday to drive the route before the trip, if so I'll report back.
I'm really happy to see all the enthusiasm, thanks everybody!

You're definitely welcome to follow us down. We'll post plans when we get them together. It would be nice to get there a bit early like we did a couple of years ago and watch folks arrive. |
If we're able to make, we'd like to slide in the line as well if you don't mind. We're over in the south aurora area and can meet up with just about anywhere.

My General Grabbers arrived the other day, and yesterday I got my rims all painted up pretty. I'm letting the paint cure over the weekend and will have the tires mounted on Monday.
So it'll be more off-road looking and ready soon! I started thinking about this over the winter when I was slipping and sliding on a mud road; I'm hopeful the Grabbers will help with such things.

I may be out again this year.
Been having problems with my eyes, not being able to focus and refocus. Seem to have found the cause but the rehab is slow and I still cannot drive, actually have not for nearly 2 months so far.
Drag but I have to take care of this before I go insane, because I am close to the edge, I am losing my head!

Uff... Hope this works out, the eyes are something not to F with. Good luck!
I just got new glasses and have had a few issues but nothing like what you are mentioning and it's a PITA for me.

Sorry to hear that your having issues there Brian. I'm also dealing with vertigo/vision problems. I'm drinking Mezcal this morning to if that helps ...since nothing else does!!
