Virtual Rally

[B-flat]

This is the official thread for the virtual rally that has already gotten under way.  The popup parade has headed out of south central NC going west toward Cherokee.  Along the way anyone can join in.  The popup is loaded down so far with the Chili Vat and I was able to get up with Buford.  Wii suggested that a hog was needed but I couldn't get it into the popup, so it is in the trailer behind the popup.  I also got a set of lawnmower blades and mounted on a tower on top of the popup so I can get airborn and by pass bridges, tunnels and traffic jams.  The chili vat is bubbling on top of the popup and the cast iron cookware is loaded down for making the cornbread and whatever we want to eat.  Buford is trailing behind me.  I'm on the lookout for more people to join this Virtual Rally.  It's going to be going all across the country.  First, we will head west and then to the south toward NightOwl's place and then down to Fl to Sltrawick's for some Cream Cheese Chicken cooked in her crock pot.  By the time we get there the chili vat will just about be empty.  Has anyone heard from Chubs? PUT has a bunch of toys for us, so we must at least head back by their place and campout at the back door of PUT headquarters.   Come on and join in.  Let me know where you want to be picked up and what kind of food you are bringing.  We already have a boy scout troop joining us and those fritos and tater chip bags are flying all over the place.  We will have to camp in out of way places.  Tonight it's going to be out in a big field off the highway.  I'll have to add some more wood to keep the chili vat going, so if someone could help with that and oh, yes, wii needs another vat for scalding the hog and to do some fresh corn into corn soup.  So bring along what you have and let's get going.

The boy scouts are starting to complain about riding in the PU when it is closed.  It seem that one of the boys was tasting from the chili vat and has a problem with gas now.  We had to put him on the roof rack and two other boys in the PU to take his place.  While I was doing that the highway patrol pulled over and told me "hey lady you can't"...

What do they mean, You can't do that???!!!    It's because of the Highway Patrol that we always have to take thedarn Boy Scouts with us every where we go anyway.    They seem to think that the Boy Scouts will give us incentive to stay out of trouble.   HAHA, those boys have given us some of our most devious schemes.   But they do have a tendency to eat up all the food, forcing poor Topcat to have to stuff steaks down his bib jeans when we go to the Piggly Wiggly.       I'm beginning to think that we need a totally separate trailer for those Boy Scouts, with bars on the windows, and really good ventilation for when they get into the chili.   Does anyone have any ideas??

Well maybe y'all could swing by Horsecampr's place before you head out west and borrow her horse trailer for the Boy Scouts - bet you could fit quite a few in there. Sometimes those things have vents in the top, too.

That sounds like a good idea.  We stopped by horsecamper's place and hooked the horse trailer to the bumper of the PU.  The PU doesn't have a receiver on the back, so we just took some tow chains and wrapped them around the bumper.  I know the bumper will hold, they put them on real good.  Well we moved the scouts into the horse trailer and a few of them were complaining about what was in the trailer.  I told them that a true scout deals with what they have, so I climbed back into the the Pinto and off we went.  About 2 miles down the road the unexpected happened, the ...

bumper pulled off the popup, sending the horse trailer into the side ditch.  Yes, I heard about it from one of the boy scouts that called me on my cell phone.  He was "prepared" and has now  put the bumper back on the popup and hitched the horse trailer behind the Pinto.  The popup is now hitched up behind the horse trailer.  Luckily, along comes .......

of course no one stopped to think about what the sugar in the candy bars and the protein in the chili was going to do.  (No, I don't mean that, that's disgusting)   Those boys were wound up tighter than tacky lights after a high wind, and had to let off steam (no, i told you, not that) somehow.   They peeled back the top on the horse trailer, making it look like an old Lois Lane bathtub.  (for those of you not familiar with that, it's a 1952 Rambler convertible)   They were hanging out of the back of it, throwing the Fritos for confetti, but they happened to accidentally throw some salsa too, and it landed in the eys of a little old lady from.....

It landed in the eyes of an old lady from Canada... Wait it is not an old lady but a man who was delivering news papers.. I quickly stopped and asked him his name.. While removing the salsa from his face he sputtered my name is Birol and I can't belive this happened... While our vehicle was being fixed he invited us back to his place.. WE spent the nite in this HUGH tent he even had a name for it. This guy was so nice the fallowing day while packing up and leaving I think he shed a tear. (could have been the salsa in his eye) . He waved goodbye and said I hope to see you when I visit..........

South Carolina for some of that good ole' possum roadkill.  It don't get any bettern' that.  Makes that chili vat start to sing.  Them boy scouts is realy good at gatherin up the road kills we find along the way.  You can do a lot of things with road kill, there's boiled, fried, pickled, and.....

I heard some stories about him... I guess they're not true:J

smoked, of course. We'll just wrap that roadkill in some foil and pop it on top of the engine block in the Pinto during our journey. The Boy Scouts will sure be hungry for it by the time we stop in...

...to visit Tim5055.  We heard Tim is an expert on group trips and he has a good watch dog too.  We may need a watch dog to guard the chili vat so the boy scouts don't get into it again.  Well we talked Tim into joining the group and we were all set to hit the road again when someone asked ...

(Naw, I don't post in invisible ink.:mad: )"Where's Buford?!" Now the trip just can't go on. We looked and looked and just couldn't find him. We looked in the popup, in the Pinto, and all up and down the road. When , finally he was found in the horse trailer with the boy scouts. He had gotten tired of trailing behind on the road and the boy scouts had him jump into the horse trailer. Coming down out of those mountains of NC and on down into SC was kind of treacherous without a brake controller for the horse trailer and the popup was driving us down pretty fast with the chili vat adding the extra weight. There isn't any sway bar, either, so we had to use extra care. About this time, guess who appeared........
