We're on our way to Memphis-going to visit Graceland & got to taste some of those famous Memphis BBQ Ribs! Hope to get home by Sunday & see everyone.


Doug, I wondered if you went to OCBR.

Bring me a rib or 200 so I can have something good to eat while you share OCBR stories.

Safe travels !

Jeff, we'll pick up some extra ribs, but can't guarantee how many we'll have left when we get back to Colorado-it's a long haul!

This is going to be on Sunday Correct? I had it in my head that it was Saturday because breakfasts are normally on Saturdays. Just clarifying before I drive an hour down on the wrong day!

Yes, this event is on Sunday. I spoke with the restaurant today to confirm everything and they agreed.

Duh! Just bring her with you. There's hospitals everywhere if you need to stop in on the way home.

icon biggin I plan on coming unless she goes into labor Friday or Saturday . If still nothing by Sunday, I will be there. It is only 25 or 30 min from the house, so I am sure I can make it home before we need to go to the hospital if she does go into labor while I am there.

Any one north of Denver meeting up to follow each other in their broncos?

I'll be heading there. We could convoy. My bet is you won't make it though!

She went in today for a couple of tests and everything still looks real good. She goes back Friday if nothing happens before than and they will check everything out again. At that point they said they would plan to induce her on Monday, as long as everything stays looking okay.

Eck and Crawlercreations, where can we meet so we can convoy? There is a slight chance I can make it, even though I think crawlercreations is betting on the correct odds. I know crawler is only 5 minutes down the road from me, not sure where you are Eck?

Either works for me. Better have Crawler decide since I may not make it though

Its a restaurant , I bet they have towels and they could even boil some water. There is even a pretty good chance a doctor will be there eating lunch! It will work out just fine. Also I think we have some sort of award for 1st child born at CCB event ( I believe its a burger and a beer ) . The real question is "Do I RSVP for two or three?"


Johnson's are coming down for sure and we will be 4.

We still plan on being there but we could be without Bronco shrug shrug . I have not driven the Bronco for a couple weeks because I had the transfer case drained to fix a leak and had to wait for a new gasket. Anyway, went for a ride tonight and it drove great for a few miles then started popping and backfiring. I also smelled melting plastic aroma. The melting plastic turned out to be the oil pressure sending wire falling against the header. Took care of that but the problem persisted. I noticed the fuel pressure gauge was bouncing, just a few PSI up and down but didnt remember it doing that before. I also changed the fuel pump relay because it seemed warm. Still no change but I tried switching from the Aux. fuel tank to the Main tank and it seems to be fine. The main tank is full and the Aux tank gauge reads 1/4 tank but I'm wondering if its not really almost empty and sucking air. I'll run over and fill the Aux tank tomorrow and see if that changes anything. I have never run this thing out of fuel before ( Since I converted to EFI ). Does this sound consistent with a fuel starvation problem?
Either way, we will be there.
