Can`t understand why no one has shown any objection to someone saying something like this. Would`ve come down on me like a ton of bricks, had I said this.

To all
This is and was a joke for those of you who do not know LLB. I hope this did not offend any one. My wife and kids are laughing at OLDSCHOOL about this Post. So please dont feel offended. I am sorry but this might sound funny but it was done in good tast but very funny to a lot of us and not so funny to others. We will not make fun of our Love ones agian on this site. I must say. Well I wont say what I feel because LLB is Signing off for the Last time.

I think every body knows why. I have enjoyed my self with all the HHR owners and have learned alot about vehicles and how to trouble shoot them.

Again This was not ment to hurt any one.

Thank you Mr. Black Beauty and Good buy.

Mr LLB & The Mrs is the one with the peg leg.

One more thing, I would like to thank JonnyB for starting this site. You are Da Man.

Dec 24th -Jan 1, 07, company closed.
I have tentatively scheduled PTO (personal time off) Jan 2-7, 07.
So, for that 2 weeks total, my itinerary is open. My path of travel, unknown. Destination goal is Florida. My desire is to just do like I did in my VW Bus last year, point and drive! I have to be home by Jan 8th for work.

I'm going to check with the Pres of the company I work for to see if there might be any changes to the company holiday closure. We are going through some changes here soon and just want to keep my options open.

I'll kep ya posted!

Forget that! I want my fair share of all the good grub people are bringing!! I got warm clothes! I thought you country folk were a little more.......well I ain't gonna say! Don't wanna start nothin' you can't finish!:D

It'll all work out Tony, have no fear.

On the 10 day forcast for Oglesby, IL it says

Partly Cloudy, High 54/Low 41, 20% chance of precipitation

We just need to put on our long johns and we'll be just fine.

Now, I asked before~no one answered so I'll ask one more time~!!

Does anyone want me to bring my big coffee pot? We could either make coffee in it (I know, a great idea!) or heat up water and I can bring some hot chocolate mix. Or hot cider? I need to know what ya'll think?

well is that cider gonna have a kick??? LOL cause my granny used to make hot totties (apple cider with a lil whiskey) LOL I am moreof a mt. dew caffine kinda guy but i would imagine ther are some coffee nutz (MIKE) in the bunch!!!

Hey oldschool, what about bringing some wood to just do a fire to keep us all warm, we will embrace the area even more. We didn't get snow last night!! Robin can bring the cider and we can all wear our long johns. I'm sure it will be lots of fun and laughing so we will all stay pretty warm!!

Ok, since everyone is talking about it being cold, I have to tell this, however I'm sure all you Northern folk already know this. I got in my car this morning and it was 35 outside. I got a message that said "possible ice" on the message center. That was a new one for me!!:cool:

Tony
What about this place you were talking about, If its cold why start a fire, I think we would get in troulbe by doing that, At least by me we can not start a fire no matter how big the event is, That is a good Idea can you check on that You Ex-Large Kind of of Guy. We do not want some one Like a Park Ranger or the real Police to tell us we are doing anything wrong. We want to have fun , not get put in the slammer.


Indoor Heat, Pizza, Plumming , this also sounds if its really cold out.:thumb: :thumb:

yeah ill check it out JUST in case there is one of those freak Illinois blizzards or somethin!!!

Can you see if they have electrical outlets? No use in bringing the coffee pot if I can't plug it in!!!

I just want a place to park my rear and do some feeding and lying, I mean telling stories!:D

Hey if there is electricity then the soup comes in the big Nesco cooker if not I would have to build a fire at least in a grille...so if ya' find out let me know...

Can you see if they have electrical outlets? No use in bringing the coffee pot if I can't plug it in!!!


Hey Big Mama
I will bring my extral Cobra DC ro AC Inverter 400 watts Continuous - 800watts peak, This might work for a Coffee Pot or If there is a place close by were we can purchase large amounts of coffee. If some one who lives close can check this out and get back with us on this matter. I will try and call the place myself tomorrow and ask if I can get some one to answer the phone,
wish me luck.

Okay everyone This is what it says on the Web site

Developed picnic areas are available to the day visitor, with tables, drinking water and restroom facilities. Eight shelters are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Alcohol is prohibited January 1 through May 31 in the picnic area. Alcohol is always prohibited on the trails.


It says nothing about Electrictal outlets but then again I don't think that they would publish that information. I'll call and ask.

If you cant find out Z i will drive there tommorrow and vizually inspect for myself!! I havent been there for a while and cant remmember if they do or not!!!
