Coffee With Kevin

[KG4CGC]

Our friend Kevin paid us Upstate South Carolina Islanders a visit today when his truck broke down and had to be repaired at the local Truck Rape Shop just off of highway 85 at White Horse Rd.

Kevin and I sat at the Waffle House and discussed the state of the world and other important and high minded topics.

It's always good to meet fellow Islanders, peers in radio and internet, and just sit down talk. Always a pleasure.
Too bad our resident Welshman was unable to attend as his boss is trying to kill him. Typical isn't it? Why do hard asses always try to kill their underlings. Next time, Tom!

No Island meet up is complete without a shot of the man of the hour starting a Ruckus.

Until next time, 73!

......... and a fun time appeared to be had by all......well done! :-D

[NQ6U]

Just remember: 11 hours driving following 10 consecutive hours off duty and no driving following the 14th hour after coming on duty. Also, no more than 70 hours on duty in the last 8 days unless you've logged 34 consecutive hours off duty.

And by the time my truck is fixed, the 34 hours will have been accrued, and then some!

[N7YA]

My truck is in the shop right now....i get the feeling that, compared to Kevin's truck problems, i have no room to complain.

[N8YX]

Glad you two got to do an eyeball. On the several occasions where we've met Island folks it's been a hoot. Lack of sufficient bail money kept the fun from getting out of control, however ... :whistle:

[suddenseer]

I have met the lovely DSG, and her old man Fred, good folks actually. I got to chat up Kevin on VHF, and 10M FM last summer. I am bringing a lampshade for the drunk Fred to wear on his head as he dances on the bar for out next meet up!:evil:

[KC2UGV]

Way cool gents :)

[kf0rt]

Right on...

[N7YA]

Island convention...Vegas? Perhaps? :chin: Just sayin'....

[WØTKX]

Cheap flights to Vegas from here... My girl and I have thought about it.

We don't drink and are not interested on gambling.

But music and comedy shows... Hell yes!

[K7SGJ]

Deal me in for the Vegas gig.

Glad to see a couple of Islanders get together. However, keep an eye on him Kev. When you're not looking, he'll let that pig-on-a-zip slide into the cab and snatch your ride.

We are planning to meet the kids there this summer. Maybe we can all coordinate our efforts. Nice of Adam to put us all up at his crib. With all the musicians on here, his place will be rocking 24/7

I'll be damned, your avatar is actually you!

If you put a 5th wheel on that thing, you can get Kevin back on the road. BTW, what happened to his rig?

[NA4BH]

I'm in.

[KB3LAZ]

I have got to meet up with about half a dozen Islanders over the years. Now, with my move I may get the opportunity to meet up with some of the members across the pond.

Diesel particulate filter bought the farm....I was pulling a 10,000 lb load and had to drop 2 gears just to get up a slight upgrade. Talk about MAJOR engine power derate. (What happened is part of the D.P.F. melted, causing beaucoup back pressure)

[NQ6U]

Kevin and I have had a couple of VHF QSOs via the Otay Mountain repeater but we never did have a chance to meet eyeball to eyeball. Kevin, are you driving one of those new rigs that uses DEF? We had one of those at the school for a while and it was a PITA!

[W7XF]

No Carlo... it's pre-DEF. But it does have the DPF...which is what went belly-up.

But you can grill a steak on the DPF during the regeneration cycle!

[WØTKX]

Kevin came by recently, and I was stuck at work.

But we shared the Sapp Brothers Coffee Pot signage. :lol:

[W5GA]

Awesome! If any of you ever get down this way, give a shout.

[N7YA]

I think an IOMH meeting in Vegas would be cool. Island in the Desert 2012! ....or '13, may need some time.


But ill come to you, i think you crazy bastids would destroy my house! :lol:

Count me in! Vegas is only about five hours from here.


But ill come to you, i think you crazy bastids would destroy my house! :lol:

Well, that was the plan...

And.......?

[N2RJ]

Kewl!

Kevin, when you're up in this area hopefully we can meet up.

[N7YA]

And.......?


...my garage, mailbox and the neighbors house too.

[KG4CGC]

Zdravstvulte!

[WØTKX]

Imagine if we were locals, and all these vehicles showed up at your house with a myriad of antennas on them.

That would get the neighbors talking. :omg:

[N7YA]

It would at least get us talking...DX.
