This is a great idea! Cool wheels......what are they?

Are you going to stuff the cat in the bag? Then when you get there, you can let the cat outta the bag. LOL! Lame I know.......but it was there.

They are SSD D-Hole 1.9's. The cat stayed home but tried really hard to sneak on my other bag that trip.

Lots of coyote out there. Our feline friends would be quick snacks.
Although, I was half awake last night and had a thought inspired by the comical grasshopper... Ascender based off road kitty liter box?

[Natedog]

Ascenders reassemble! If you’re taller, tap! Get in step son!!!

Just thinking t-shirt phrases, maybe red lettering this year?Lol

[MaX-D]

Put me in for an XL t-shirt. Let me know the cost, and I'll PayPal you the money

I also need to figure out a better way to deal with the desert heat, It was super hot with very little shade last year and I was struggling to keep going for long runs.

Oh and I hope they dont just blow off the Sunday events like last year just because most of the locals left!

I'd be up for a shirt for sure this time If Chris does another run, I'm not gonna drag my feet like last time.

Got you covered on the midway point layover
As far as the heat, how about another night run until 1 am like last year

Shirts are not problem but we better get going - need a week-plus for printing.

And we'll have a killer camp setup again. Even an outside shower for a quick rinse off. We can't run EVERYBODY through the RV shower, but a few is no problem.

Subscribed...

I might just fly to LAX to have you pick me up and take you to lunch , that's nice of you.
I'm in for 2 shirts if we do them, I've sub'd to this thread so I don't miss the action. Looking forward to camping with you all again this year.

So it got put on the back burner and then got busy with a mega-ton of other stuff...so no scale city building for us.

I remember thinking about how I could contribute to your scale city idea, then I read about the storage and folding logistics and I figured it would require more grey matter than I could contribute. At this point if you just make it out graham crackers and M&M's and doughnuts, so it can be easily disposed of or stored in our belly after the event, please don't bring it back next year

Very generous Chris

I'm (3D) printing up a bunch of random things to give away at PLBTF.

I'll bring some Ascender sway bar mounts. I'm printing a few dozen XT60 connector caps which are used to mark and help keep track of a charged battery. I might bring some Gen 8 and Venture parts and maybe some scale gas cans.

That's awesome Casey

DOH! Ya to do list is long here too.
Very generous of both of ya!

Does this mean you are going? Lay off the cookies and get your list done Son!!!

[Natedog]

Yes, I’m going! Looking forward to hanging out with everyone again and crawling! Doing velcro battery strap mod on X-Maxx, need to make front inner fenders like yours and it should be ready. Ascender Va’Blazer is always ready! Dangit, I need a second cup of coffee! I say, I say fortunately I keep ma feathers numbered for just such an occasion! How do I change ma vote ?

[2mtech]

Sure wish I was closer to the correct coast (right is wrong), I would for sure be there.

[Natedog]

Yes, would be cool.

Yep.

[Shinchu]

my party of 3 will be returning... i don't think any of us will be tapping Nate on the shoulder LOL have fun, Guide-on!

shirts?!?! just change colors (cant remember if we had the date on last years... i think so)
change font to something 80's/retro?
either way we need to get going!!! put me down for 3 shirts XXL, XL, and... smedium? Andrew is 11 and still a bean-pole so as small as we can for him, now that he is officially an Ascender owner. Rick is still... deciding on a rig. He got funding approved from headquarters so he's narrowing it down. he said something about an scx10 but then i tossed in the idea of portals from traxxas or redcat and it spiraled wildly out of control from there lol


wife has also been looking at possibly getting a trailer soon. camp ascender upgrade?! next year i might bring the whole shinchu clan! Mrs Shinchu was interested about the rumors she heard of some bottled red stuff... ;)

[Natedog]

Sweet, looking forward to seeing y'all again.
Grey shirts last year, I like the poly/cotton blends for durability, open to color change.
80's retro font would be cool.
I'll take 3qty XL most likely.
Tell Rick to just buy what he likes and at least start somewhere.

Awesome I appreciate that. Night runs for sure, I already picked up a headlamp. I also picked up some UV resistant shirts to hopefully help with the inescapable sun.

Good to hear!

Yeah maybe all the shirts need is a color and font change to go with the retro theme.

[Shinchu]

maybe the new axial blazer would be a good fit for rick? i told him to let me know his budget and i would narrow it down for him.

for the shirts, PURPLE CHROME would be cool not sure how to do that on a T shirt though.

like this! im sure that would add like $10 per shirt on top of last years cost. and maybe a headache for Chris. thoughts?


maybe a Patrick Nagel style cat? lol

[smog]

ACK!

The 80’s gave us Bill the Cat!

[Natedog]

Agreed Casey.

Purples ok

Smog, oh ya Bill the Cat!!!!!

Ya, gradient shading in ink screen print can be hit or miss. I do have some appropriate fonts however...and we could do a couple of colors again.

I'll do up a couple of drafts, we can edit.

OK, cool love to see what you have in mind! I"m ok with or without the gradient shading.
