I wasn't going to post up much about this on the site, but I figure it's just easier to let all my friends know this way. Well as most of you all know my mom was admitted to the hospital this week with chest pains and trouble breathing. They were going to perform angioplasty, but her arteries to her heart had just too much blockage. They decided she needed heart surgery. She went in today late in the morning for a triple bypass. I just received word from my sister that she is out of surgery and that everything went really well. Her organs are healthy and they aren't any more worried about her than anyone else who has had the operation. They informed us that the next 24 hours are very critical (small chance of stroke, etc), but she is doing well at this point. I really appreciate the support from of all of you and the kind words that you have sent my way for me and my family. I knew I had some good friends, but it's great to hear how much they all care in times like this. Once again, thank you all. It has been a really rough week for me and you have helped me get through it that much easier. Anna has been a huge help as well. It's great to have such a person in my life. Thanks babe!

I really doubt it this week, Eddie. I will be at the hospital visiting with my mom. If I end up leaving with any time left in the night I might be ready for a drink on the way home. This week has been hell on me and I could really use one right now.

That's too bad, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can get your stuff soon from him and it's just because things might be a little hectic there due to the "switchup" that everyone has been talking about with the company. Josey seems like a good guy and I doubt he will screw you over. I hope things get smoothed out over at the shop and they can remain the decent company they have been in the past.

ok cool. And don't forget, the whole idea for donating is for a good cause...DUMONT! The more items we can all raise, the more incentive for people to come out and help, the more trash gets picked up, and the bigger the group of people we have to show the BLM and other groups that we care about Dumont and we aren't there to trash the place. You get the picture.

I'm pretty sure the material is nylon. Are they (SST) charging too much for them or is it just a pain to get them?

Thanks, Woody. I will need to get these things over to ynot (Terry) before the cleanup so next time I see everyone (maybe at Dumont) try and get the items to me or Terry. We will jot your name or business name down and will be credited when the prizes are raffled off.

Thanks Jay. Just let me know. I understand though. Don't forget anything anyone can do, even as individuals, is appreciated. I ,personally, was thinking of picking up a few little things at an ATV shop and also donating some DDR gear (stickers, hats, shirts) also. It would be great if all of us at DDR could be one of the "co-sponsors" by coming forward with some help.

Come on, peeps. There's gotta be someone you know that has a business that can donate something for the raffle. Big Rick has stepped up already, anyone else?

no I'm not

I'm already on top of that.

I think as long as you know how to drive well and you aren't an idiot, you can go ahead and get whatever kind of car you want for your first car. My mini rail is pretty damn fast and it was my first car. Just be careful, get used to how a sandrail acts in the sand, and then work your way up with aggressiveness.

Thanks Mike, Roy, and everyone else. She goes into today for either quadruple or triple bypass surgery and we are really hoping and praying for the best. Take plenty of pics, everyone.

the search function is your friend, don't be afraid of him

That Banshee looks pretty sweet already! I can even say nice Honda..I think. :mc_smiley: :ahhhhh: Seriously though, nice new toys Steve.

Turned out really nice, Kenny. Tell Jen congrats!

This has nothing to do with preventing it once you already have your hauler, but I've seen heated fresh water tanks as an option when buying a hauler new. I know, it does no good now but is a good tip to those who plan on getting a hauler.

:chev_bowtie:

cool and all, but like Chase said...it looks like it would get boring fast. Hell, I got bored just watching, lol

Thank you, Lisa.

Who you talking to? and turn your caps lock off :dunce: This is exactly the situation I ran into over Thanksgiving when the disrespectful kid was popping wheelies on his quad back and forth next to my trailer ALL friggin day. :argue:

The dumpster is the back of their trucks! Pack it in, pack it OUT. If they bring it there, they can take it with them.

Jason (richardcheese), there is no need to clog the forum up with that crap. come on, please stop

Thanks everyone. You guys be safe and have some fun for me out there.

It really sucks but it looks as though I won't be able to make it out this weekend. My mom is in the hospital with heart troubles and I am staying in town until I know she is ok. If anything changes for the better I will post up if I end up making it out. Having a broken toyhauler window and my Tahoe to fix this week doesn't make my chances of going any better either.

Then if you did that you wouldn't be any better than the kids that were throwing the rocks!
