reservation deadline expired yesterday, and the rooms have been freed up. Please contact the lodge to check availability.

If I remember correctly, the Model T Club is having an event that weekend also, so the now released rooms may go quickly.

Believe it or not... I will not be 'taking over their show.'

Stephen... You are right. I dont have a problem w/ you at all. Really, dont have that big of a problem w/ Blake either, other than what I said before... I know you have a line to walk as well... BLAKE, I dont need anyones number. Do I go to your meetings..?? NO Do I go to all or most shows..?? NO, just one as you stated... Forum Obligations..?? Thanks again for that low blow. You just keep doing what you are doing. I am done talking (for now anyways) about this.... Back to planning the fun ....

I think if someone misses a show simply because they don`t have a Fiero is missing one of the good points of these events.
Usually, such as my situation they are "in between" Fieros.
But the simple truth is we all are huge Fiero fans and all of the people I have met over the last few years are great people.
This will be the second show I will attend without a Fiero and I enjoy the heck out of it.
I do enjoy taking a Fiero, especially when I have done mods, but for the time being I`m just happy seeing old friends and making new ones because I know, in the future I will be taking another Fiero to many shows to come.

I understand the great friendship thing yall have going.... I am just saying that its not me w/out a Fiero.... I am not saying anything except, except it is Fiero Show/Gathering... Not a birthday party.

Blake we aren't in this "what evers goin on" stuff here. We just won't have the bucks for RRR this year.

We still want our T shirts though.

Hey Cliff,

Thanks for the shout out...everything is fine, but the Fiero projects are on hold for another 6 months or so. By next summer I'll be back into it. Drink one for me, and the others who could not be there.

AWWW man you mean you are not coming either..>WAY TO GO BLAKE.............Was hoping you would make this one since you missed the last show....

He DID make the last Ruckus... I got visual proof.



Now as for him not making the last Round-Up... you need to blame some other president for that... Rob White or Obama or someone...

May I ask where the Rukus is going to be next year..?? I may have missed it, if I did I apologise. Thanks

quote Originally posted by maryjane: 10speeder---Ruckus is a yearly event, held each fall--in mid Oct. It's location rotates around various cities--dependant on who wants to host. This will be only the 2nd time in 9 years that it has been held outside the State of Texas. All that's required to hold it, is for someone to speak up, and basically say--"Hey--I want to host next year's Ruckus in my location" and it usually works out if no one else has previously spoken for that year. Next year's Ruckus (10th anniv) is spoken for I believe by Blakeinspace. I WANT RUCKUS 2012 or 2013.

I am hoping that R X will be something unique while keeping up with the traditions and spirit of previous Ruckus events.

--- all except for the Po-Po tradition. I got popped in Jefferson, Lufkin, & Kerrville. JScott in Waco. cliffw for San Angelo. Makes for great stories that I'd just as soon not have the fortune to partake in.

'Someone' also got pulled over on the River Road going to Gruen during an AAFO Roundup--maybe 2005?

quote Originally posted by cliffw: See 'ya at the Ruckus, maybe, .

Well, I got the position/promotion which does change my weekly schedule. I will be off the Ruckus but will have to evaluate my off time to see if I can get all my priorities done.
Looks more promising, :thumbs up:.

I hear there's a freezin rain cold norther blowin down near your rig Cliff and they're gettin ready to set the kelly back as soon as you drive up--just perfect for a derrickman like you.

great news Cliff! Bring yer sweet young thing with ya!

Blake... Do you know if kevin is going or not..?? I sent him a PM after seeing him post a few times, but no reply yet...

I have not heard from revin in quite some time.

Greetings from San Antonio,

Sharon and I have made our Lodge reservations and will be there. I see no reason DARKWING won’t make the trip. I need two, (2) XL shirts. Please let me know where I need to send the money for the shirts and/or any registration fees.

We will bring something for the SWAG BAYS. That’s a cool idea. The AAFO meets this afternoon and RUCKUS is a topic. I should have a feel for others who will make the trek back to OK.

Look forward to a great RUCKUS as usual.

Mike & Sharon Parker

Howdy Fierosblack,
Will ya'll be coming up I-35 when ya go to this ruckus thing? I think the wife and I would like to go with another fiero person just incase my car don't do real good.
Would that be possable to do? I could meet ya in Belton or Temple or maybe even Austin. I think we might go stay with revin on friday night so he can do some fixin' on the cars before we git on the road. He has not said anything in a while, we said something like that so I am not real sure yet.
Jay

1985 Fiero
farm livin' is the place for me.

We have met up with Reven before on 35 north pass Austin. My wife would love to have as many femails as possible.

My rig don't have a kelly, .
Well, I have this off week and the off week of the Ruckus to get it together and make it happen.
My brief reads of this thread have me recalling that rooms might be scarce and Texas beer is not allowed ?

worms
Wooden derricks and men of iron had a kelly.

Top Drive is the way to go today. Very few rigs being built today have kellys. Energy companies want to contract top drives. The modernization of rigs is amazing. Rotating mouse holes, no cat heads, no geolographs, more computer screens than my house, joy stick controls.

I know what they are. Today's hands need all that easy to use stuff I'm sure.

Bump.

I got a call from Rob White the other night... he and his family are IN! May not be in a Fiero, but they are coming. He also said that he is working on getting Richard Lazer to go. He also said Clinton & Dottie Whitehead are probably coming. Many thanks to Rob for mentioning the show at the AAFO meeting, AND including the Ruckus in the AAFO newsletter. I am sure that monthly bulletin will reach many people that don't get on PFF.

Anyone heard from Scott and Ellen Anderson?... Ruckus won't be quite the same without 'em.

Mike, glad you and Sharon can come. Thanks for your interest in the swag bag game. I look forward to your... uhm... input.

Jay, if you can roll with revin, that is a good plan. I daresay there is few other people I would rather have wrenching on a Fiero.

I updated the attendee list on the first page. DIY-Stu is coming up, will probably be camping in a huge mansion like tent.

Got my swagbag stuff. I was gonna mail it to ya--but it's heavy. They are gonna raise some eyebrows for sure tho. Stainless steel goodies.

So just how does one go about getting one of these shirts with pockets?

Ron

The threads in your briefs are scarce because of beer? What?
That's messed up!

quote Originally posted by blackrams: So just how does one go about getting one of these shirts with pockets? Ron

well... wait until cliffW hosts one again down in Kerrville... and go.

Actaully, I love my shirt(s) with the pocket... very handy that....
I don't know what this years' shirts will look like. Not sure if they have a pocket or not. Tom is doing all that end of it.

IIRC, he said it was 3 or 4 color... and part of it was a map of Oklahoma showing a Fiero on the road... sounds cool.

I'm dyin' to go to one of these, but there's always something in the way that's holding me back.

Hello,

Sounds like is developing into a real Oklahoma RUCKUS. Sharon and I are looking forward to the trip and event. I know I have missed a couple over the years since the original “RED RIVER RUCKUS” and I always regretted it.
It has always been a great event put together by the hosting group / person. Counting down to the RUCKUS daily!

By the way Don, I figured a way around the OK beer, you just drink M O R E !

Well dang, I'm really need'n one of those shirts with a pocket. Surely one of my Texas friends will come through for me.

Ron

What the heck happened, I had to do a search to even find this thread.

Bump for a good event.

Ron

fyi.... Me and GG are probably out...

I just rechecked my reservation. It's still a go. See the rest of ya there

Getting closer.....

I`m really looking forward to this, although I will be in my truck, I think it will be a great time.
Does the North Texas convoy have a time or meeting place for the DFW area for next Friday?
I`m planning on heading out early from Austin to meet you guys up there.
Mike

Howdy,

I have to let y'all know. My wife's brother was involved in an auto / motorcycle accident. He is not expected to make it so say the doctors.
This is kinda stopping us from making this trip with you fellas. So I hope you don't mind, but I guess we will not make it this time. I hope to make it to some show with y'all some other time if that is ok.
Besides I will have more time to get my car lookin pretty for a show.
Sorry!

Jay
