Still setting up

Sunday Barry and I got to the ranch to help Bob with setting up the rest of the sections or as many as we could get done before it got drunk out. Just as we got there hurricane Ike came though and tried to spoil the day. We decided to work on some things in the shop for a hour or so to let Ike get the hell out of Dickson. The wait was brief so we headed off into the woods. Thank God because TC ( Tiger Cat ) worked on some orders and a couple other things PeeWee was supposed to do while we was at the shop and really worked him self to the point of exhaustion
One beer and TC was gone. After Ike left we did manage to get the rest of the sections up. Jessie and Charlie came over after the rain had quit and helped lay out some sections. You can't get enough help to set one of these things up , I'm telling ya! We didn't know if we would be able to get anything done with Ike in the area , but the weather turned out to be great once he left. Should be a great Trials as always at the Ranch. I only get involved in a small part of the Trial and I think that everyone should at least get that opportunity just to see what really goes on at one of these events.

Preperation

Sunday Barry and I went over Dickson to the Ranch to help with laying out the 50 sections for the North American championship , I.T.S.A National and Midwest National Sep.27 & 28. It looked like we got about half of the sections set up which we thought was pretty good. It was pretty hot so a couple of breaks were in order for some water and some r and r.
In the picture we are not having a prayer session although it looks that way. The Guru was just getting us back in to the mode of making the sections easy enough for everyone to ride. Or else PeeWee farted again , I'm not sure. More to come.
