rory what time did you want to get there to setup courses? i can be there anytime or did you just want to setup courses at 1230?

Krakker · 07-10-2010, 07:07 PM

Any time works for me. But you have been banned from gate setting since that last Omaha comp. (I still have night mares.)

"IF" you don't mind, you could set some up and maybe Ty and I could set a few gates. I'd like to do one up the granite section.

Kratos · 07-10-2010, 07:35 PM

what are ya thinking 1130 or 12? i still havent decided on what tire to use out there my chisels or rock beast lol. ill make the courses a little less demanding lol

kwkride · 07-10-2010, 07:47 PM

you know Chris, if you just put a different tire on each corner of the rig, then you could get the best of all worlds without having to change. LOL

major94 · 07-10-2010, 08:55 PM

I thaught 1230 was good. but i dont care. We are doin this along the bike trail correct

That would be kinda interesting to see now that Jim mentioned it.
12.30 is good to meet up. I know Chris is trying to redeem his course building Mojo

so IF anyone gets there early No big deal. My house is really close so if ya'll wanna come over and enjoy some shade or grill some dogs my place is always open. (Gotta crawl course out back and a pool if you feel like bringing a suit.)
Chris and Jim have my # so you can get it from them if you need/want to get a hold of me or directions. Rory.

I'm not for sure if I am coming down yet, but what exit do you take to come south to O street off of I-80?
Thanks Chad

CrawlinClodKiller · 07-10-2010, 10:20 PM

I will be there if I can find it. I want to try out my new setup.

RAINED like a Banshe last night.
Things are still wet and the voids in the rock will be muddy for sure. The greenery and mesh tho should be good. I'm heading to check it out now (8:45) and will be back in about 15min.
Forcasts are calling from 55-65% chance of heavy showers so if you want to pass that's fine.
If it does rain, we can always catch a DVD at my house.

Krakker · 07-11-2010, 08:20 AM

Rocks look good, theres a couple spots of standing water in the voids and around the grassy outers but crawling is doable. We'll just need to play catch if it's close to the mud or water. An extra pair of shoes might be a good idea, but like I said, the rocks are in great shape.

Kratos · 07-11-2010, 06:40 PM

CrawlinClodKiller · 07-11-2010, 06:44 PM

CrawlinClodKiller · 07-11-2010, 09:36 PM

Sounds like I have to go camping this weekend, so I get screwed again.

Krakker · 07-12-2010, 02:26 PM

Sunday was the bomb, literally.

First thing after turning it on, My dig is not working, (white wire broke off the board.) Ran home and soldered it, back in the game we go. Next course, I follow Jessie's suggestion, "just shoot the gap from the wall man".

What was I thinking? it's 2 1/2 feet,,,,I endo'd right into the granite 4"s from the top.

Ripped the steering rod end right out of the link. Fixed that; Next course, I make a near perfect run then try going backwards on it, POOF, No front wheel drive. 2nd dang wire of the day that broke off the solder right at the motor.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

BTW,,, who was it that said just loctite it back on???

All is well now like a fat can of Pringles. To be honest, I'm pretty happy with how well the Bully has held up to my driving. Nothing else I've driven would have lasted this long with out some serious parts replacement.
