EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: PA, Portersville - 6/10/2011 to 6/12/2011

make sure you have good scissors....and a ruler...that really looks like all you need....

 

[dbylinski]

I got it!!! Best of all it comes in a kit and the kit was cheaper than buying the fleece by the yard so I'm ready! Bring it on, I'm a "crafter" now! Oh boy, just one more place this organization has taken me!

 

[dieselsweetheart]

I didn't know it came in a kit...what all is included? Where did you get it?

 

[dbylinski]

2 microfleece panels (48x60) one panel printed and 1 panel plain. That constitutes a kit but it's all I need.

 

[dieselsweetheart]

well good, now I know how much fleece it takes to make a baby blanket... I wonder, does that equal one yard?

No, you need green grass for that.

Hi everyone....about 50 days till the rally...one thing I wanted to tell you to bring along is a walkie-talkie. These are great for staying in touch while we are convoying. While en route to Nashville last year we had a driver needing to stop and check out an issue with his truck...and by alerting us that he was stopping we were able to stop with him to help him troubleshoot... so pack one now so you don't FERGET!!! Don't forget the good $10/10 sales at the grocery stores too....

 

[kakampers]

Cheryl...been meaning to ask...when you guys convoy like this, what is your average speed on the highway??

 

[f250dieseldad]

We have a cb Cheryl.

 

[jnbhobe]

We have a cb Cheryl.

Breaker-Breaker 1-9, is there any Smokies on that 9-0 west bound. (couldn't resist it John)

 

[f250dieseldad]

I drive to slow to worry about smokies.

 

[dieselsweetheart]

The d-engineer will have to tell you...but I think he goes about 60-65. We will probably have a good 6-7 hour trip ahead of us...with a couple stops in between for potty breaks and leg exercises...

 

[dieselsweetheart]

CBs are good too....we have both walkie and CB....

In that case, we'll probably have to follow behind...we, in an effort to conserve fuel, and our nerves, travel at 55 mph as a steadfast rule...so far on flat highway it's getting us around 12 mpg in the new truck....
