This is coming up guys! I'm hoping to have my Sliders on by then. Maybe I should put my oil skid back on. I think everyone knows, but bring your CBs!
What's the food plan? Is there a stove/fridge in the Cabin?

Hoping to get the big brakes, radflo, ball joints, and tie rods swapped in. Bought the wife a newer van today so I should be in the good graces.
they've always worked for me.

I have a handful of parts sitting in my garage, but the single digit and negative temperatures are making it very difficult to work on the truck. My list includes Green Filter, tension and idler pullies, 225 amp alternator, new starter, transmission cooler with stainless braided lines, and new outer tie rod ends with the sleeves. That is in addition to dropping the transmission and replacing the input shaft seal that is leaking, rebuilding the pump, and checking the check balls and verify everything is correctly in place.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

I just called the Badlands. They say our cabin has stove, fridge, microwave. How do we want to handle food? I was thinking for the most part, we would handle food as if we are camping.
Regulator suggsted we do our own lunch, but community breakfast and dinner.
Any suggestions? Thoughts?

It looks like the cabin occupants are:
Regulator (Matt) & Tracey
ErikSS (Erik) & Stacey
Hotness (AJ) & Nicole
Wink (Kevin) & Sandy
Hardtrailz (Kyle) Friday night only
My thought is everyone takes care of themselves for dinner Friday. That leaves Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Sunday breakfast and lunch. How about the four couples divide these up.
Saturday Breakfast:
Saturday Dinner: Matt & Tracey
Sunday Breakfast:
Sat & Sun Lunch (cold sandwiches, chips, fruit/veggies):
Kyle, you're in charge of bringing late night snacks. dilly beans and candied jalapenos, that kind of stuff if possible.

StaceySS nor I really make much for Breakfast foods. We would gladly bring everything for lunch, for both days.
So that should leave Wink (Kevin) and hotness (AJ) to fight over the two breakfasts, right?

Are there any food restrictions that I, or anyone else cooking, should be worried about?
