OK, Who's Going to Maggie Valley With Us?

[Backroad Mike]

There are probably more things to see in Cherokee. The Indian Museum was pretty interesting, but I rushed through it because my knees were hurting from the standing/walking. There are other shops and such, but she's going to need a ride down, rent a car or long taxi ride. Cherokee also has a fairly large casino.

Thanks for the replies.

She's scoutin' the interwebs now.

A seed has been planted.

May have to haul the 'b' down there to make stuff work.

Wheels for me.

Wheels for her.



And Jennie, mrs. o requests your presence.......

Oh, and dollars to donuts?

We're tentative.

So, like, face painting for the kids?

You really need to get yourself one of these. You can find 'em on Craigslist for next to nothing.

Oh no. Don't put that on me. I'm a Transition Specialist. I help churches out by filling in while they're looking for their next pastor.

My primary assignment while I'm there is to help them face the cold hard ugly truth of just how much of the dysfunctional shite they scapegoated off on their last pastor when they sacrificed him on the altar of their need to convince themselves they're right about what pure delight they assume they are to work for was actually rooted in their own unresolved emotional health and lack of self awareness. I get to say out loud all the things a pastor who's trying to stay long term won't say for fear of being fired. I leave with as many arrows as possible in my back which would have been fired at the next pastor to buy them as long a honeymoon as possible to get off to a healthy start.

Of course, sometimes the former pastor really was an idiot (25+ years experience tells me this is true roughly 20-25% of the time that a congregation says it is...). In that case, the job is to help the church face up to the fact that something in their collective emotional DNA led them to the unanimous, or nearly enough unanimous, idea that the former idiot was their best bet for a wonderfully inspiring leader the last time around. Then, to help them get honest enough about how that happened to minimize the likelihood of a repeat.

But, um NO. I'm not a pastor. I'm WAAAAYYY too honest and my attention span is too short.

Hack and slash brother. Hack and slash. That's how I spend most of my time. Life is too short for anything but the Truth.

That and the synoptic problem are soooo last century. All the cool kids are debating open theism these days...

I work where they don't want to face up to or hear the truth...








Baffles and dements the crap out of me.

I clicked above, but hadn't posted till now. I'm bringin my theistic self to MV. Ready or not!

Russ, I watched that cool video on how to load a scoot with that ramp set up. I didn't see how it would easily unload unless you hooked a winch cable to the back of the ramp to pull it out of the truck.
And those little winches are clutch style where un spooling them using the motor wears the clutch out.

It's recommended to have the truck parked with the front slightly higher so you can use gravity to assist with unloading the ramp.

It sure beats riding them up the ramp into the back of a 4x4.

I came to this thread to learn who was coming to MV and learned ever so much more. I love y'all!

For as little use as the winch gets, I'm not concerned. If you're not on a slope, you lust work the winch remote with one hand and pull the sled out of the truck with the other. Really could't be any easier.

Can you elaborate on it?

I'm putting DPH and I in for a very strong tentative. I may be able to afford a few days away from work for some much needed R&R.
