    We made it all the way through and over to the Alice side. Eric's mishap was actually actually playing around at the top of Yankee Hill.

    Hey Brian I didn't realize that was your runner in the pic. That bumper looks awesome buddy. The last time I seen the runner is when you helped me with the ground wire for my CB.
    I think thats the same trial I rode with Gramps for the first time. I think....

    If there wasn't photographic evidence I never would have believed it :eek:

    Looks like Michelin needs to go back to the drawing board, maybe reallocate some of the lava testing funds for snow research.

    Is he keeping the same amount of funding for cleavage testing though?

    The testing has largely been completed.

    How else do you think we were able to determine the exact snow depth and density required to suspend the truck on it's skids thus removing the incredible traction characteristics of the michelin tires from the equation?

    Keep this information under your hat though as we are still conducting testing exercises simply to spend what's in our testing budget and keep the funds from being diverted to the study of gerbil flatulence in zero gravity or some other such nonsense.

    Sounds like you're working on a michelin anthem huh Bob?

    What a great idea! Would it use the same tune as "Oh Canada"?

    :popcorn: to see what you come up with.

    Wow CoTacoTRD your truck has come quite a ways since I last saw it. And between you and Ost, I really need to get my BHLM done.

    Looks like a fun run, if maybe a bit chilly.

    Just have some boner back into you in a parking lot and that will motivate you to get the BHLM done. Maybe a retrofit while you're at it. :D

    Oh, under the still 'unemployed', trying to change careers, go back to school for a certificate, barely scraping by on some consulting work, rock.
    :tumbleweed:

    Part of me has wished for someone to ding a bumper so I can upgrade. But so far all I've got that I didn't do myself on a trail is a pair of nice door dings from some foreign tourist in a rented car at a hotel parking lot in Ouray last summer. :mad:

    We had a good time at the poker run. Decent amount of snow but it was actually pretty warm since there was no wind.

    [​IMG]

    Our poker hands sucked, but I did win a Colorado Themed deck of cards at the raffle :D Lots of people showed up to run each trail (lots more not pictured). We wan Hackett all the way down to the river.

    196 pics to poke through. Next time, everyone needs to remove their license plates so they don't have to be blanked out. Unless you don't care about such things...
