Northern Virginia Roll Call

Better get prepped for the fun humidity swing from Tucson!!!

 

Look at my signature line for a Grand Canyon trip we did. Of you like National Parks, go now before school let's out. Otherwise they become.parking lots.

If I had.that much time I'd start where we did, work north through the NP"s to Glacier, then west to Washington states NP's and down into Cali for those.

There are some off road opportunities near the parks as well. Check the locals in the regional threads.

 

I hope you enjoy traffic, humidity, and allergies

 

You beat me to it.

 

Stop outside Austin and do the Rally Ready rally experience. It’s $100 for 3 laps in a WRX with gravel tires on their beginner rally course. I went with my brother and cousin and it was one of the funnest things ever. The guys there are super cool, Rob (I think he’s the manager) showed us the shop where they had Mike Glover’s (from fieldcraft survival) car and their race car on a lift with Bucky Lasek’s car outside. If you roll up in a Tacoma I’d bet they’d be into it haha. I plan to go back and take their 2 day course at some point.

 

Long shot but, does anyone happen to have a silver streak mica tailgate sitting around?

 

Until you've lived in Djibouti, you won't know what hot and humid really is.

Metro life will be new to be. I've also lived in Los Angeles for 3 long miserable years so I also know traffic. Don't worry though, I'm not a Californian.

 

So after many years of debating whether or not to make one, I finally created my official build thread over on T4R. I’m excited and this will give me some excitement in my life. Link is here:

 

Guam....just saying.....worse place I've even been for that!
Welcome!

 

Okinawa. The day I landed it was 113* on the tarmac. The next week, the the warehouse was 130*, highest at 136*. Not an ocean breeze to be found. Humidity not factored in, but does it really matter after that?

 

Sub'd. I used to love that site, but I might be converted to TW now lol.

 

Welcome!

 

True....been there as most of us weirdos have, but I'm telling you.....high heat and high humidity....it's crazy when you go into meetings and everyone at the table looks like a soaked cat and it's normal!! hahahah

 

I worked in the warehouse and the admin section had a window. The air got so cold in the office condensation would form. You can imagine what a few over-heated Marines might have written on that. At least we didn't have to adjust to the temp changes leaving the office area!

 

Marines have always been the most entertaining branch of the military!

 

Oh shit! I just realized that you’re the same y=mx+b that’s on T4R! Lol, small world I suppose. Thanks dude, I appreciate it.

I just finished logging everything from 2013-present. Took me a few hours, but it’s done and I am very proud of how it turned out. I think it’s good to have one, and will allow more opportunities to talk with people about their builds and for people who have questions to find potential answers

 

The few, the proud, the entertainers?

 

Sounds like you should contact marketing!

Story time with my Marine friends is hands-down, the best. It also depends on how well they trust/know you, but once you become part of the inner circle be prepared. But I don't need to tell you this.

 

Is anyone driving from NoVa down to Richmond between May 12 and 14? I have a set of shocks I need to move down to Ryan so he can take them to a potential buyer near his summer internship in Illinois. It's a shot in the dark, but thought I'd ask just in case...

 

If Ryan can head to Ashburn, I'll be there Monday for two weeks. Back to the office.
