Looks like it'll be me, frieed, and 81% of Kurt.

All this snow delayed shipments to my work until tomorrow. Which means I have to work now

I'm possibly in the same boat. I'm waiting on a freight shipment that will take just 10 minutes to unload... however the trucking company is saying it could be as late as 7pm as they are not even starting to send out their drivers until now

 

[sixstringsteve]

Let's just hope your delivery driver doesn't have a parole meeting he has to go to.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Eric and I don't care if we leave at 6 PM or 8 PM. It'll be dark at camp either way. Keep us posted Kurt. If you really want to go, we don't mind waiting 'till you're done. if you think it'd be better to sit this one out, the two of us will leave at 6.

Man, I totally forgot about that. Nope, thankfully this is a different freight carrier. What a clown that guy was.

Cool, I'll let you know for sure one way or the other by noon. They said they will have an idea as to when I'll see my load by then. I just unloaded a couple pallets from a different vendor (ARB was my early one today ) and it was snow-wheeling with my forklift. I'm going to have to linconln-lock the front diff

 

[sixstringsteve]

Doesn't ARB make air lockers for the Toyota forklifts?

I'm going to have to look into that, its seriously miserable. One you get a 500+ lb pallet on the front its fine but unloaded it slips and slips everywhere. I've had it stuck really bad once in the sand, it took us nearly 3 hours to un-stick it, ended up digging it out and pulling it with my FJ40. Yes, I no longer take it on sand, grass/dirt however is legit

When did we lose Kyle?

 

[sixstringsteve]

He texted me earlier today. He might have to work late.

 

[frieed]

Work, huh..

I almost credited him with having more sense than we do, but since it's due to work, nah..

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Don't wait for me. Still no exact ETA on my shipment. As of current its on the truck but they are in SLC working their way south. Dispatcher is saying no sooner than 5pm, no later than 7:30 By the time I shut the doors and get to Cabelas it would be 8:30'ish or later

What I'll do is call once I know what my situation is.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Sounds good. Im going to push the meeting.time back to 7:00 at cabelas anyway. I've got a clunk in the front end that.I have to track down before I leave.

 

[frieed]

Make sure the welds are still hot when you get there...

 

[sixstringsteve]

i got a new catalytic converter today, the welds are still hot. they'll probably be cooled by the time we leave though. I'll have to find something to weld in the mean time.

 

[193kyle]

Yeah, I'm out. Have fun guys!

 

[frieed]

Thanks for the great trip Steve...

 

[sixstringsteve]

You're a trooper eric. Thanks for coming, I wouldn't have gone alone.

 

[Kevin B.]

That's worse than one of JLRockies trip reports.

 

[frieed]

OK, I'll add some detail...

It was cold.
