Things I learned at Winterfest 2009

I'll add the following:

  • Lar sleeps with a chainsaw
  • I also learned how to make a whole bunch of MWC members stand up and look at the bottom of the chair they were just setting in.:D

I'm not falling for that again ya Ass!:D
 
Kim has more tools and spare parts in his van than a Jeep Dealership
Rev's bumper doubles as a dancing girl stage
Tyler is an excellent gunner.
A bunch of guys with small lifts and ATs kicked ass on the Orange trail.
With every trip, the book value of my jeep goes down, but the price I would take for it goes up.
I only got stuck twice, both times at home with the Ramada.
My neighbors think I am crazy.
Mac's girlfriend couldn't be scared off by us.
When Wheeler sleeps, he looks like a corps
65 mile per hour cross wind gusts will make Lar nervous.
Driving 131 miles in 7 hours gives you an average of 18 miles per hour.
12 hours home from Attica makes for a LLLOOONNNGGG day.
I was worth every bit of it to see the best friends a guy could ask for!
​
 
I learned that I've been downgraded from a phone call to a text message...


and not even a picture message... (n)

Sounds like ya'll had a good time. Wish I couldda made it...
 
I learned not to follow a RED school bus, top speed 65 with a tail wind.
BLoose's daughter CAN indeed count.
Bring extra food and tools to share with others on the trail. LOL

I had a great time a WELL put on event.
 
Warm weather makes for better Winterfest wheeling but rain makes for a worse campfire.
No matter how big a campfire is when it's raining you will get wet.
Not having any rain gear sucks when it's raining.
Not having any rain gear when it's raining and there is a campfire keeps you from having a hang over the next day.
Buses may not be pretty but they are warm and dry!
30mph headwinds = 45mph in a bus!
Rain can turn to snow if you keep driving north.
You don't have to win a lot at a raffle so long as you win something good.
If someone says people from WI can't count or read numbers they may regret it shortly.
CTM's sure are pretty.
If you need to make an emergency pit stop after winning CTM's be sure to take them with you, they may change into a salt shaker while you're gone.
My daughter is my lucky charm, something they didn't know when they asked her to pick tickets.
WF is ALWAYS worth the trip!
When John Bjorm says, don't go this way, don't.
Grace is Grace under pressure or Grace under fire, depending who you ask.
MacGyver will always be MacGruber to me from now on!
Being a cop gets you a cute girl friend who is hard to scare off.
John B has friends with Jeeps just as pretty as his.
Little dogs will tear up big dogs if they get the chance.
Getting in the middle of a dog fight will get you bit.
Winterfest in Attica just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
50 dash plaques may seem like too many when in facts it's not enough.
If you use a case stretcher when you gear a D30 it is much less likely to break a ring gear!

and much much more.

Thanks too all who planned and executed this event, as always you did a great job. An especially big thanks to all of the sponsors who donated items for this event. We all know how difficult times are for everyone so donations in these times represents a great commitment to NAXJA!

I had a great time and for the first time in a long time, didn't break anything!

Wheeled all day Sunday and smashed my left rear tail light, the wood bumper is still intact though!

Loved my first WF experience, we'll be back next year with the turkey fryer!

I live too close to NOT make it there in April or May... someone pick a date and I'll be there!

Exclamation points!
 
I learned quite a few things at my first WF...

My stock XJ is more capable than a modified WJ...wicked nice rig that guy has though!!
Two pairs of jeans is just enough.
I need a CB, for real.
Cardboard has a hawt daughter!
All mud needs is momentum, not tires.
J.J. has a sweet V-Dub.
People I have read about on here, looking at their rigs and thinking of them as kinda famous (Mac) aren't famous, they're notorious! HAHA!
MWC people are just as nice to you as if you have known them all your life.

I'm sure there's more, but those stick out in my head the most! And the second weekend in May would be more than fantastic for me!

Couple more...

- People look at you strange when walking around the CG drinking sweet tea straight out of a half gallon jug.

- I finally have a sweatshirt my wife won't steal.

- I forgot how much I enjoy the Badlands.

- I forget how many new friends I make and old ones I see every year.

- A guy with a stock XJ can make out like a bandit on other people's old stuff at the "swap meet".

- I wish I had as much fun in my 5" lift/33s rig as Stryker did in his 2"/30s rig. You're hooked now man.
 
The megacab becomes less mega with two people sleeping in it...
34ft of bumper pull trailer is big...but not the biggest...
My shop needs a nacho cheese dispenser...
Dan "Fourwheeler" Wheeler has impeccable timing when coming to say his goodbyes...
My XJbuggypopcan jumps better than I could ever imgine...
Even a XJbuggypopcan needs a strap in the mud...
Bald crawlers rock on the rocks but suck in the mud...
There will always be something screwy with the weather at winterfest...
Its weird meeting the same people in the shower two days in a row...
XJs can be fixed by wiggling battery cables...x2
I have passed on carrying the mobile NAPA store...
Apparently snow angels in the straw are fun...but I can't remember...
First UP canopys can be brought back from the dead and still work...
No matter how hard I try every year I can never put names with a face with a screen name...
Having a girl with you that is having fun makes Winterfest that much more fun of an event...including sleeping arrangements...
It was great to have the XJbuggypop can back for Winterfest...
Deep down everyone wishes they could own a bus...
I am still waiting for the front end of the XJbuggypopcan to fall off...

mac 'pass the bottle of jack please' gyvr
