I finally made it to Broomfield Colorado. Man, what a boring drive it was from KC! I left this past Wednesday driving a Uhaul and pulling my boat. The weather was great until I got 30 miles outside of Denver.
I drove the Uhaul to the airport and parked in long term parking and caught a flight back on Thursday morning and then turned around Thursday afternoon and left KC around 4 in my truck pulling the teener. Another boring drive. Went thru a tornado in western Kansas. Damn its hard to see those things at night! After pullingn off at rest stops along the way to catch naps; I pulled into my storage lot at 6am yeserday. Had to unload the car and then drive out to the airport to get the Uhaul. All the time it's raining. Switched the trialer to the Uhaul and loaded my truck on the trailer and hauled butt back to the storage facility to unload the rest of the stuff in the Uhaul. It's a wonder I didn't catch a cold from being cold and wet yesterday. Oh, I almost forgot; it started snowing yesterday too....wowsers!
It's been a long 4 days.
On a good note; looking forward to meeting the Colorado guys and gals next Saturday in Lafayette. Who has the addy for the meeting place?

OT but I have a Blueheeler CP. Nice to see a red one.

Happy Sunday

You like RED

Posted by: Gint Apr 25 2010, 07:34 AM

That's because you had to drive through Kansas. Flat as a pancake and boring as hell across I70.
Yup. See ya there? Diving a 914 I hope.

Replied to your email on colorado-914 about changing your email.

Thanks, Gint. I should be driving the teener next week. I think it is running a little rich up here (You were right Ferg).

Carb or Fuel injection?

Posted by: RJMII Apr 25 2010, 11:47 AM

but that's what Rob wanted on his car because that's what he says he knows how to work on.

Posted by: plymouth37 Apr 25 2010, 12:35 PM

I am going to try to get the cafe bike running and will be over there around 8ish on Saturday.

Posted by: mojorisen914 Apr 25 2010, 12:57 PM

That's right... LOL. I just need to tweak it some.

Posted by: mojorisen914 Apr 25 2010, 12:58 PM

Looking forward to meeting everyone. I hope it's nice weather.

Glad you made it Rob! I look forward to meeting you. Hopefully you are just as eccentric as the other Eastern Slope Teener Owners! (ESTO's)

Posted by: TROJANMAN Apr 25 2010, 01:07 PM

Do you have to meet some sort of universal standard of eccentricity to belong to that group?


welcome to colorado


Maybe if I can install a throttle cable by next Saturday I can show up with my 914.

Boring drive???

You ought to try living in Salina Kansas for 3 years..

Flat, flat, flat and you can see 20 miles in any direction. Drove the local cop nuts. He had one billboard to hide behind and there was no where else to hide...

Colorado now, there are somethings to see....

Posted by: SharonG Apr 25 2010, 02:41 PM

Eccentric eastern slope teener owners??? You and Val have the market on the eccentric western slope folk. We U!

Posted by: Ferg Apr 25 2010, 04:22 PM

Brant's busy all week, you're screwed.

Posted by: Sleepin Apr 25 2010, 06:09 PM

We own that! Eccentricity is our forte'!

Posted by: mojorisen914 Apr 26 2010, 07:39 PM

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. Looking forward to meet everyone on Saturday.

I wanted to share how my first day went.....

I woke this morning to a little snow and thought...no big deal. Got in my truck and started to back out of the parking space and thought; that don't feel right. Got out and looked and I had a flat tire. Remind you, this is first day of my new job. I cussed that flat tire for the 45 minutes; had to go back in and change clothes but luckly, I still made it on time for my first day. I guess I do believe in santa claus....
