If anyone else not already in the group is going south on 81 tomorrow PM me if you want to meet up somwhere and join the party.
I've gotta do a quick window regulator on a honda civic, then I'll be on my way.
Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow night and be on the road from Cary at about noon.

It is the straps on the trailer, but I am not an expert. See you guys tomorrow
So tomorrow at work....my boss is gone, my bosses boss is gone and I have been signed up for fucking CPR training from 8-10am.
So, after that I'm picking up an axle housing for mike "fancy socks" widner, then I have to come home and pack because Im too drunk off of lobster tails and banquet beer to do it tonight. Plus I was up at 4am to go to a fucking conference in Wilmington this morning.
Damnit I just want to sit around a fire, get drunk, talk about rovers, and sleep on the ground. Is that tooooo much to ask?
Ill be there by 3pm tomorrow.

Went to Uwharrie for the first time to camp with the fam. Had no idea it was URE!8 weekend. Camped right outside of the group camp and got a nice view of all the cool Rovers driving by Sun morning.
