Total IDI newbie chiming in. I'll probably try to drop by during the weekend with the new to me '91 F-350 I have now. I'm close enough that it's a day trip and I doubt my boss would really appreciate me taking off a week literally a week after the maintenance shutdown week, although knowing him he'd probably just shrug and tell me it's my time to take when I want.

Sweet man. Love meeting new people. I look forward to meeting you and your family (if they are coming).

Sorry to hear you had to cancel plans for the CO rally. Let me know if there is anyway Missy and I could be of any help.

Heath
Thanks Heath. Had some major expenses hit that came out of the the blue so had to cancel. We are doing fine but just could not pull off the rally at this time.

Just a reminder....

There is now one month left! April 1st is the deadline the campground has set for holding reservations. After that date, all unbooked sites will be released for other campers.

Hope to see the campground full of OB guys/gals.

Just curious who is coming down when? I'm debating on Saturday or Sunday, but was just curious when the rest of the northeasterners were going down. Maybe we could get another convoy together.

Jill was thinking of splitting it up Friday to Saturday. I would just like to shot gun it down Saturday. We will see, traveling together makes things a little better though.

I'm thinking I'm going to make reservations Saturday to Saturday. I'd like to convoy down with everyone else. I figure I can always change my reservations if I need to closer to the rally.

As much as I hate to say it, we won't be staying at the rally this year. If everything else pans out we hope to stop by but we'll see how it goes. Just isn't in the cards financially.

As much as we'd all love for you guys to be there all week I know how things go sometimes. In fact my brother probably isn't going to be there the whole week either with his job. I think I can speak for everyone and say we'd still love to see you guys even if its only for a little bit though!

Cathie and I booked one of the onsite camper trailers. Don't have a camper at the present and pulling a camper that far is a task. Made the reservations for the whole week and will modify as it gets closer.

Truck now has 161k on the speedo. Pretty much a daily driver work truck.

Things repaired or worked on in the past couple weeks/ months:

Radiator - repaired the Craigslist almost new brass radiator bought 3 years ago used. Then last year my radiator shop didn't re-solder the whole top tank where it leaked. So this year took it back out and had it repaired again. Now soldered 360 degrees of the top tank.
Thermostat- Got real erratic in temp control. Did not get to hot but it sure was warning me. Replaced with a Motorcraft unit for the IDI.
Starter- Keep loosing the output motor bearing. Looking to upgrade to a better replacement. Possible a 6 liter. Doing the research.
Glow plugs- Lost 2 again. Replaced.
Truck Bed - still the grey one. Have the utility bed's under surface painted but not installed on the truck yet.
I'm sure there will be more to come.
