2018 Lone Star Toyota Jamboree @ Barnwell Mountain, Gilmer, TX May 3rd-6th

This is so true... when you start realizing that you have drank like a 12 pack and still have a ton of stuff to raffle off... is when you realize that time has slowed to a super 4 lo crawl...

Starting on time would help a lot.

Another thing that I really think would help a lot... more than one serving line... split it in two and would be able to serve a lot more people quickly to be honest.

Having like all the people there at Jambo go through one line is not going to cut it...

Pretty sure I drank like 2 beers just waiting in line for food...

 

I agree 2 lines would do wonders to make it faster. We waited through several beers and by the time I got food I was glad to have it to soak up some booze before the marathon that was the raffle.

 

I know who I'm looking for at the raffle this year! I'll actually have room in an actual *truck* to bring more beers this year! My little car was loaded down heavy last year.

 

I ran out fast and started bumming beers of others who had coolers near by... This year I will need to be better prepared or just go wheeling during the raffle since my only luck is bad luck.

 

I remember this. I had one beer left and u were trying to get it from me, but it was my last beer. I didnt know what to do. Then you went to sleep in your truck.

 

That wasn't Jambo. Guess I should double the beer I bring from now on or drink less.

 

Double, plus a few handouts.

 

Yup I need to be ready to pay back some people for their generosity to my drunkiness.

 

For some reason I drank all my beer Friday night

 

Same here. Definitely would have to say two serving lines so it does not take forever to get food.

Works for me! I am just going to come prepared this time a little better...

I think I bummed one or two last year as well. I know I was drinking rum and coke there for a little bit.

But the more people that go wheeling during the raffle, the less people that can win things...

 

I remember there was a plan, but shit went sideways

 

Ha

Ha

Ha.

 

Any info on when registration opens? Website says mid Feb. @hoarder23

 

I think end of February, first of March.

So maybe this weekend?

 

If we could actually hear and make sense of what they were saying and not trying to guess, would make the raffle go faster too, me thinks.

Their speaker setup made me feel like a 90 year old with hwaring failure, trying to understand them.

 

Same, I think they had more speakers last year, but they were wireless and failed half way though...

 

At the last meeting @tgormtx told us no later than the first week of March.

 

Sounds good to me!

 

PSA: Things happen, and we’ve spent a lot on our trucks.

Buy a fire extinguisher or two, and mount them in easy to access places. I’ve used mine twice on vehicle fires.

I got mine from http://stores.ebay.com/Farner-Fire , but there are local places in DFW that offer refurbs too.

 

I got one from Walmart that I keep behind the drivers seat, but this reminds me that I want to get a bigger one just in case.

Any recommendation on what size to get? 2.5lb, 5lb, 10lb?
