As I read it so far;

Anthony & Kim (Kim?s Grandfathers party)
Keith (new job, kids, and like I said, selling truck & buying minivan)
Micah (works too much)
WilsonX (too much going on)
GBech (will be in Yellowstone and Glacier National Park)
Savage Henry (shooting pool)
cornick (in Macedonia shooting hoops)

I'm not going this year. Just to hard with work and the kids. I'm gonna miss it though.

I'd like to go,but I've got to much going on right now.

nice thread by the way

Yes, put us on the slacker's list, haha

Current status of the X.

Not selling, but removing lift and I have sold bumper, skids, and sliders.

A fucked up joke, right?

Say it isn't sooooo

Nope.

Well I?m sorry to hear that, you where one of the people I really enjoyed wheeling with. It was nice knowing you, have a great life my brother.

Don't write me off so quick! I appreciate the compliment and enjoy hitting the trails with you.

The story: The Mrs. needs a minivan. My other vehicle is only 4 years old and will be paid off in the next 4 months. The X I still owe a bunch. So we might just trade the X in for a minivan. I love the X, but I refuse to do 2 car payments at the same time again. No decision has been made to trade in the X yet, but I want to be in a position to unload it ASAP. We are looking for a used 2005+ Honda Odyssey. The opportunity came up to sell all my armor to 1 person. So I am going to do that.

However, because I am loosing the X means I can purchase a beater. It might mean that I have to ride a long with someone in the next few months until I save up for a vehicle. Not sure what, but I plan on taking my time until the right rig comes around. I want it to be street legal and drivable to and from the trail. One thing is for sure it won't be a Manual unless it has granny gears!

I don't want to get out of wheelin' I enjoy it and the people way too much. I might not have an X, but I still plan on getting out there. Plus in the next few years I will be able to bring my sons. I cannot think of a better group of people to have around my kids. Everyone in the Xterra community and NOIRA has been great.

I ain't going anywhere!

I will be in Yellowstone and Glacier National Park

Man, that's gonna suck.

That would be great but I have yet to see it happen. Once the truck is gone folks try to hang but their interests change to more sensible pastimes and soon their gone.

I hear you.

The last 6 months have been challenging with the decline in business to pretty much closing up shop. Hopefully my new job will give me the kick in the ass I need to get motivated again. Plus it will also give me the income I have been lacking for the past 6 months.

It's kinda sad. Many of the standby people are leaving, buying new vehicles and moving on. I feel due to the Bush family making more money, the Xterra realm is beginning to shrink.
