    I kinda planned on hitting up that Fortune Creek trip, but after removing my RTT in a fit of rage this evening, I am out.

    I was drilling some new holes in the brackets for my awning so it would clear my front door when I open and close it. While re-installing I threaded the nut a few times and moved to another nut/bolt on the rear. Well, I didn't thread it enough, nut fell off, awning fell (using a rear bolt as a pivot point) and scraped now my window, smacked my door, and finally fell to the ground.

    Dented the door (somewhere no one but me will notice, but I REALLY notice) and scratched the glass of my driver's window. So mad.

    So then I decided to drive on. Mounted it all up, still doesn't clear.

    Tent/Awning are stored for the winter.

    How many people are heading there from the Olympia/Lacey/Tacoma area? We could meet up somewhere and convoy there, I'm planning on going but have to install a locker this weekend so it all depends on that.

    lol, good lookin' out Seth!!! :thumbsup:

    I'll keep that in mind next time I get in a 'Gangs of New York/Anchorman/American History X'-style skirmish ;)

    I'm getting my upper wisdom teeth pulled; they are becoming compacted/exploded and causing problems. Forgive me if my future postings after the extraction are less intelligent or articulate....

    You get those puddle lights ordered and installed?

    I just realized how apropos that is for Dora.

    :rofl:

    I'm killing it today!

    Check out THESE that I just found too...they're different but still cool.

    Also just found San Jose Sharks ones for the GF's car. She's a huge fan. Hope she likes them...

    This is the last list I saw. I'll be going Sunday only. Peewee says CB ch 2. Northwest taco is bowing out so need a Saturday leader? Dakotastoyota is leading Sunday? Meet up on Sat is what time and place? Meet up at Van Epps trailhead on Sun is what time?
    Also, JDAM, are you coming Sunday so we can compare bumpers?

    Still over a week out, weather could change. I've been up there a few times and can lead if no one else is up for it
