Moab Fall Rally 2014 (Oct. 26-Nov. 2, 2014)

[Steve N Dee]

Mike,
  We were really looking forward to the Punkin' Chunkin' but we won't get there until Sunday, the 26th  :'(  That means extra pressure on you to come up with good Halloween plans    Costumes??? Thanks for the weather info.  We don't mind the cold too much.  It will be somewhat refreshing for us from So Cal where it's always warm & sunny.

We will arrive on Friday.  We will be there 7 days.  Sadly we will have to leave on Halloween morning,
unless a court case in OKC gets settled.  I did some PI work for a law firm there and I will have to testify
in the court case so we have to leave early to get settled in Casa Grande for me to fly to OK City on 11/2.

We will however be there for Punkin Chunkin which we really look forward to as well as seeing old friends
and making new ones.

Larry,

You'll be there for the best weather. See you Saturday.

Susan and I have to forgo the Moab Fall Rally; we have too many irons in the fire at this time to break away. We hope for a safe, and fun time for all.

John,

I'm sorry you had to cancel. Sheila and I were looking forward to seeing you and Susan at Moab.
Hope to see you both soon - somewhere in our travels.

WOW, that sucks John.  Chrystal and I were hoping to see you and Susan again.

Hopefully another time.

Yes, I was really stoked about coming, I've been planning for months, my coach was packed except for food. Being Semi-Retired has its drawbacks, and Susan still works 40 hours/week at the family business. Business opportunities are better than they've been since 2005 and in these days one has to take advantage when the opportunity arises.

I am sure we'll meet up again down the road, we're signed up for Catalina New Year's Rally, and the Texas Rally in May. And I've been giving serious consideration to the FMCA Four-Wheelers Rally in Moab in May too (I just joined the FMCA 4-wheelers this past weekend).

 

[zmotorsports]

I have been wanting to join FMCA 4-wheelers for a while now but where Chrystal and I still work full-time it is hard to get away to attend some of their rallies.  Maybe some day.

John,

I sure know about work interfering with play! We had many a summer trip re-scheduled or cancelled to fit work. When we first started Catalina I was still working - almost full time - and for the first few years during the Rally I had to drive back to Phoenix the handle year-end Inventory and work prevented me from going on to the FMCA rally in Indio because January was very busy with YE closing. Even now, as just a consultant, our January travels sometime get modified to suit work.

Despite the fact that it sometimes interferes with my "playtime", I really love my work - particularly now that I am not responsible managing people and dealing with customers!

See you at Catalina SP.

Ken,

I hear you. My role in the family business (JMB Construction, Inc.) is as the license holder and qualified employee. I don't have to do client relations, or subcontractor relations, or supplier relations anymore. I actually love building, it is fun, a challenge, and rewarding on a number of levels. All I do today is oversee the projects, make sure we are compliant, and give advice. I work from home; Susan on the other hand has to go to the office five days a week.

The good news is that the plan for the business is for Susan to step back at the first of the year. It is most challenging because Susan is the bookkeeper/accountant. No one better to trust the money with than my wife. But we're hoping for a full 90-days of travel in 2015...on my way to becoming a Part-Timer...

I am really looking forward to Catalina.

John

Tell Susan the girls will really miss her.  This  she needs to know  so that when she steps back from the business, she will have  some other  friends!

[Lou Schneider]

I know I signed up as a "maybe", but I won't be coming either.  Work issues and my Mom just sold her house and she's moving in with my sister in La Quinta at the end of the month.

I hope to see everyone in Quartzsite!

John:
  I didn't go buy a Jeep just because you wanted me to drive yours    Now what will I do?  :'(  Seriously, we will miss you guys a lot.  See you in Texas (if not before).

I thought about you as Susan and I "discussed" the Moab Rally. You could always swing by and hook up to the Jeep, it is set up  for Roadmaster.

 

[Steve N Dee]

That's one hell of an offer John!  If I wasn't already pulling my own toad, I might have taken you up on that (not really, but fun to think about!)  8)  I will just have to hitch a ride with another framily member to get my Jeep fix.  I'm sure I can come up with a seat.  I'm sure it wasn't easy to scrub the trip, but owning my own business, I totally get it.

Best,

Steve

Oh boy oh  boy, I have many ideas and I was hoping  you might be open to some of my activities. One roll of  Toilet paper would  be on my list of needed supplies.  How can we have an RVForum rally without such talk?

We are in St George Utah tonight  with  FMCA 4 wheelers.  I will  think more about what supplies  may be quick and easy. 

BB

Betty, How did we miss you? We got to Temple View RV in St. George on the 18th and left this morning for Grand Junction, where we are now. Tomorrow, we'll stop at our home in Silverthorne before heading to our Front Range digs. We were in space 43.
