What I learned at WF

#1 Leaving pirate4x4 and going with naxja was a good decision.

#2 Everyone I met at my first winterfest was pretty nice.

#3 Sitting in line for the obstacle course and hearing Bob mf Loose hauling ass made me lose all care in the world for my dd.

#4 Most important thing is buy more raffle tickets!!!!

#5 Even though I did receive best built jeep. I was able to see a lot of things done to others to inspire changes.

#6 For the final thing I learned at my first naxja winterfest. Stock or not most attendees beat the shit out of there rigs.
 
dick shaped fires are funny

if the other seanR cant find his hat, he will use the curtains, and the window, and the floor, and the HVAC unit, and the wall.

the pretend seanR needs to be assigned a trash can on Friday nights from now on

not being hungover the entire weekend is pretty awesome

hotel parties are where its at no matter the condition or smell of the hotel

sinks are perfectly acceptable disposal locations for chicken leg bones

the F150 tows awesome even if you pack the trailer like its gonna be pulled by a F350

Wade's dad is a wheeling OG and a really cool dude
 
1) We come together to get someones broken rig up
2) Winterfest is like a big family reunion
3) Bring a sign for tech inspections, writing tech in the mud on your jeep does not stop everyone.
4) Brian does a lot for this club more then i ever realized ( thanks again Brian)
5) The ribs were awesome at the pot luck
6) The B.o.d, sponsors and all the members that showed up are awesome
7) I'm building a special jeep for the obstacle course next year
8) Everyone from the last fall clean up gets disappointed when i don't bring my apple pie
 
Don't talk crap about random ass bolts, because I probably have some and it will work on any application.



I puke every winterfest

Tires from 1987 work pretty damn well

I have bad luck with brakes

Met a few new peeps and they are just as awesome as everyone else at winterfest.

I have great friends that help me fix my broke ass rig.

I had a friend in college that every time he got drunk would spill his drink, so we made him start using a sippy cup. We can get the blue eyed Sean a trashcan w a chain so he can wear it around his neck......
 
Don't talk crap about the pretend SeanR's bag of random bolts, you might need 1 or 3

Sean likes to puke

I had too much fun making the giant wall of fire

Sean loads a trailer with 2x as much tongue weight as necessary

The hotel smells like crap especially when someone pukes everywhere

Doublers are stupid heavy and sometimes high maintenance

I can go lots of places in 2WD with 40's and a lot of skinny pedal

Sean and Jason saved my arse on Thursday night helping me to get my rig done in time

Hotel showers are much nicer than the campground showers at the Badlands

NAXJA peeps are simply amazing people

Attica is indeed an Eastern time zone town

Hobags balls were everywhere at the VFW Saturday night


Hope to see everyone again soon

feed bag comes equipped for all of this out of the box.

even has breathing hols so he doesn't janis joplin himself.

the other seanR does have horses so he might already have one.
 
Camping in the cold sucks
A 10x20 canopy qualifies as Glamping
A 10x20 canopy is a huge PITA to set up and take down
A 10x20 canopy is worth it when it is sleeting out
If you start drinking for no reason you may forget to stop
If Jeepman wins something he doesn't need he will give you a good deal (just be sure you can actually pay him)
Sleeping in a cold tent sucks
Sleeping in a tent with a heater that starts a pillow on fire sucks more
You can add "Baofeng" into lots of sentences
I will sleep through a tent fire and wonder who is burning the toast while I sleep
If I wake up during a tent fire and see you have it handled, I will go back to sleep
A propane heater in a tent is a terrible idea

I have a great time at WF every year
You have to spend a hell of a lot of money to win anything in the WF raffle
MWC has awesome sponsors
Thanks to the guys that lead the MI trails, class act all around!
I will break a Warn lock out hub at every WF forever
Going fast in an XJ is as much fun as going slow
Even if I tell myself to take it easy on my Jeep I won't
Style points win you nothing
A V8 sounds even better from the outside than the inside

Thanks so much to everyone who contributes to making this a great event! Both the planners and the attendees!
 
1. Sitting between Hobag and Cheeseman at Robies is not conducive to drinking moderately.
2. Most people are happy to see me, even when I don't bring homebrew.
3. One giant bag of sawdust is not enough, when the campfire needs to be re-shaped.
4. Dan Wheeler loses the last old guy at the campfire contest when I attend.
5. WF is like a family reunion, only more fun.
6. If I drink enough, apparently I can't tell PBR from LaCroix sparkling water.
7. Seeing old friends and making new ones makes WF pretty much the most fun I have all year.
Edited to add #8 after looking at my pics...
8. Apparently, Sam has a special face for pictures :wierd:

x2

it was good to meet you John. Wish I could have survived longer at the campfire to hear some more stories, but I was spent! Thanks for letting me ride shotgun Friday morning.
 
I thought of another. You all like to look at the spider I pissed on.

These are cracking me up.
 
I learned that Gene can have enough Budweiser in front of him that he has to use a Warn winch strap around the neck of the current one he is drinking...BUT looks mighty stylish with his Members Only jacket and his custom vendors swag sticker shirt!

9 beers at the VFW makes for short stay at the bonfire

Big 'VFW knows how to price a beer' Hank
 
1. The waitress at Robie's apparently has no interest in leaving Attica.
2. Something about this group makes me drink more.
3. Rum makes me warm.
4. Glow sticks can occupy adults for hours.
5. I need to start taking the Monday after Winterfest off to help recover.
6. Ben only damages the jeep when I'm not there.
7. $500 jeeps are capable and fun.

Thanks for another awesome weekend! Always great saying seeing old friends and making new.
