Anybody know what the price on Randy's truck is up to?

I had made the offer of a couple years of BamaEd's Retirement for the truck. Haven't heard back on if it was accepted or not.
Was all I could afford after losing ttlay's trailer in the bet on the Superbowl.

Ok Ok Ok. This is the breaking thread for me. I was content not coming back for awhile. Then all of the sudden some talk about a couple of hijynx later, I am starting to think about the fort. Damn you Feb campers Damn you....

Well had a pretty good day, enjoyed our time at AK. We made it back to the Fort around 1ish. So we took my parents on the monorail, the main thing that they wanted to see. We rode from the Contemporary to the Grand Floridian, stopped there and showed my parents the other side to the Disney Resorts. Afterwards we hopped back on the monorail to MK where we rode the boat back home to FW. Stopped and bought a Mickey head ice cream and rode through some more loops, speck in of which I seen a wooden sign in a few sites I wonder if anyone (Bama_Ed) had any information on where I could get one. Here is a picture...

Also I made it back to my truck and found the reason for all the calls.

It's alright, I got him back. I told him that Disney fined me $100 for selling stuff on Disney property. So I'm a $100 to the good now.

Here's my Disney picture for the day...

Grand Floridian this evening.

I can see I have created a monster! :crazy:

There's not a whole lot in the ol' Bama Ed retirement fund so you have seriously underbid for 5er's truck. My $$ may, however, put you in the running for a pair of roller skates or a skateboard. It's like playing "Price Is Right".

Not high enough to buy a new truck,

Jbrostek, the cart looks good, too bad your not here now, we could have old fashioned drag race by the unhitching area. I hit 22mph over by the 300 loop, I'm sure I had tail wind. The water parade is pulling up now, good thing is its not as cold here tonight.

bama_ed · Feb 8, 2016

Oh, so the price was on the sign itself? This back and forth could easily spiral out of control. Bama Ed

SouthAlabama5er · Feb 8, 2016

I'll bet Bama_Ed's DIS sign that Tiggerdad will be along with some kinda updated offer.

22 mph? No pic...no proof.

"I didn't have my phone with me to take a picture", sound familiar? But it's the truth.

No pic no proof is also how I feel about that claim of backing in on the first attempt. :rolleyes1

Really? You too Ed?!
Guess we'll just have to wait to GSP. We show make a betting pool on who take the fewer tries on backing. (Of course Tiggerdad would be disqualified because no one will be there to witness his level of skill.

sirenia88 · Feb 8, 2016

So are you paying me to take a 6.4 off your hands? LOL That's messed up. However, at 13,500 that is a good price to have the money on the side to pay for repairs. I say take the highest offer and get yourself a new generation 2 6.7L Powerstroke. Call me crazy but I will stick with my 6.2 gas job. Plenty of power to do the job I need it to do.

I don't need a Pic for Proof on either the 22 MPH or the backing job.... Does that qualify me for a Discount on the 450? I'll even throw in a few of Tiggerdad's Mafia Squirrels for protection later on!

That's fine. I'll play the part of judge. However, I might decide to use it as a teaching lesson and let Stacey try and back it in. In that case I'll video it.

Yeah, I know. I will be on the road south on Saturday, arriving there Sunday. We went upgrade this year and got premium sites instead of the 300 loop we are not shooting for the 400 loop (though I like the 500 a little better.) I am not sure this cart could compete, I know she will do 20 on the back side but gets a little slow up the hill. The blue cart seems a little speedier and could probably take you. But then if I was not doing Disney I would have to bring the orange 2 stroke menace that does 28, or break out the big bore club car from a customer that we dropped a Honda 23hp and had to add front disk brakes just to stop the darn thing.

But we miss this sucker the most, it was fun for a few years but just big. But it could do 30mph easy, and had it up to 40 when we where playing with reprogramming the controller.

SouthAlabama5er · Feb 9, 2016

Been a pretty good day for us, we went to EPCOT this morning, beating the heavy crowd for the most part. I put my parents on Test Track, they liked it (my dad still had both hearing aids after, so that's good) they said it was like riding in a car with me, I replied and said you haven't ever rode with Tiggerdad! Did everything but Mission Space and Soaring which is down til summer. Made is around the World Showcase, my mama got her a pearl in Japan, she enjoyed that. She was bragging because her phone said she walked 11,000 steps today. Made it back to the Fort, a few hours ago, got some pork chops on the grill. My DW is napping so I took my mama around some on the cart, went and visited Ed's popup loop, seen a couple of A-frames I had to stop and make sure it wasn't him sneaking around here without telling.

Brother, at the Easter rates I am paying next month, there is no money left to slip down for a quick trip. Wish I had won the recent Powerball, though, so I could move in to loop 100 and establish Florida residency! (no income tax).

Glad to hear your folks had a good day at Epcot. I love that park after the MK very much but it is crying out for some new refurbs and fresh ideas. The France movie (and soundtrack since I'm a theme park music geek) hasn't changed since Day 1 that I'm aware of.

Have you and BIL called a truce on the practical jokes?

Thanks for the update and stay warm!

Bama Ed

SouthAlabama5er · Feb 9, 2016

Yeah, I agree. Their refurbing Soaring and in Norway Frozen us on the way. Test Track was updated since I rode it, kinda miss the old one.

Yeah me and my bil called a truce, but my aunt swiped my Mickey and Minnie figures, still planning something to get them back.

Good to know I made such a strong impression. You should have ridden with me before we traded the BMW on the 4 Runner. My wife said it doubled my chances of living past 40 when we got rid of it.

Hate your temps are down, but hey, I would take the colder temps over the sweating and smelly summer months any trip. Glad to know you and the BIL called a truce. Hate your family is stealing your decorations though. Are you sure they got them or did the squirrels?

Speaking of which, I haven't seen a single picture of one of the little guys yet...

I agree with that 110%!!

You know something, you might be onto something there I've been see your little furry friends all over but I haven't had a chance to take any pictures, but did see two does behind my mother in laws camper this evening, guess we wasn't the only ones who like shrimp spaghetti?

Next time your in EPCOT, buy a doughnut from the little shop in Canada, their so fresh and good.. so says my DS,

My tricky BIL and my DS

I think they were plotting their next prank on me...

My mom try to under some Japanese when she was getting her pearl today at EPCOT..

My dad say they waste alot of oysters, they should be cooking them after they get the pearl out, haha.

Anyhow we did have a breakdown tonight my mother in laws golf cart key switch broke the wires off the backside, apparently the switch was loose in the dash and as been twisting over time, already spoke with Kenny their going to take care of it in the morning, but I did have to tow them home with our cart, talk about getting some funny looks from other folks..
