One of the very senior managers in the organization I work for asked me to attend a conference this week in his place. What I found out today, is that the conference runs through next Saturday, so I am not going to be able to make the trip to Baker City.
Sorry, I was really looking forward to this trip.

It's not like a foot fetish, or something...
It's something most of us do.
We can crop and chop you in the JK photos.
Seriously, I know it just won't be the same... But there will be another day.. We pick our battles wisely.

Was looking forward to meeting you Mel.... sometimes eating and paying the bills get's in the way of a lot of our fun.
Make the most of the conference. Probably a good thing that your boss picked you out to go.

Ok. I've been have some issues with trying to get a set of wheels and tires for my JK. I've finally been able to confirm that the tire's should show up sometime on friday. The wheels I'm not positive when they'll show but they're only coming from California so I expect they should show friday or before.
I'm not sure when I'll be taking off friday to head to Baker City. I imagine my ETA will be 10pm or later.

Roll Call!
Figured might try to get a fresh roll call of the people planning on going to Virtue Flat this weekend. I know that things come up that are unexpected and plans have to change. So if you are gonna make it, might toss up a new post saying that you're gonna be there so we know who to be looking for. Looking forward to meeting everyone this weekend!

I am still planning on being there. I have the Jeep going to the dealer tomorrow for a water leak, but they say it will be done by tomorrow afternoon. We will be there Friday evening for dinner at pizza hut.

My wheels showed up today and already test fitted, they fit! Well... they don't rub on the brake caliper at least but they do stick out past the fenders by 3 1/4" 
. Hopefully the tires show up at a decent time 
and I can get them mounted and hit the road for VF!
