Brethren Relay to Dan Chambers

[chambersuac]

I was going to,say something really profound here, but I've been told to shut up, so I won't.

Maybe I'll just slip in a, "Thank you, Brethren."

 

[Gore]

You're welcome Chambers, and we love you too.

I've got some weekends coming up that I'm tied up, but depending on the weekend I could pick up anywhere from DFW to Shreveport and do the last leg down to San Antonio.

I'm useless here in Iowa, and very new to the Brethren. Let me just say that this is an AMAZING post to follow. I'm not sure what happened to Dan, or how this all came about (again, I'm new here), but this is the neatest thing I've ever seen and ANY forum I've visited. This is really quite the crew here!
:clap2:

Chambers: "Doc, will I be able to cook ribs when my new cooker gets here?"

Dr.: "Why yes you will"

Wampus & Harbormaster: "Great, 'cause he couldn't before." :caked:

Im up for the go fund me as well, but looking at the map, we are getting close.

If we stick to +/- 200 mile legs we need the following:
-Allentown Pa. to Woodstock Va (+/- 220 miles)
-Charlotte, NC to Atlanta Ga (+/- 245 miles)
- Atlanta, Ga to Tuscaloosa, ((+/- 200 miles)
-Tuscaloosa to Jackson, Ms ((+/- 185 miles)
- Jackson, Ms to Shreveport, La (+/- 215 miles)
-Shreveport, La to San Antonio, Tx (+/- 400 miles)

The last leg has multiple options to break it up (DFW or Houston)

I can do Allentown to Woodstock.

Question - How big / heavy is it? Do we need a trailer or are we going to have to muscle it from truck to truck?


BTW this needs to be a sticky

Such things happen time and time again for various reasons. I've seen it happen many times. Sometimes Phil comes in and says enough of this funny business and pays for the shipping himself or makes a huge donation to a worthy cause to help someone out. He's our superhero who runs this place. I personally like to see the relays and the pics of these roadtrips and Brethren meeting up and helping each other out. It makes me feel good. Sometimes someone sets up a fund to help donate for gas money, etc. We're all really one big family here. I've traveled a fair bit and met up with many brethren and it is always a great pleasure. There are a lot of really wonderful people here. You'll also see many similar threads of people cooking for others to make their lives better. There's one here:

It really strikes home when you actually meet these people doing these things and see the kindness and sincerity in their hearts. If you get a chance to participate in one of these events, you will find yourself greatly rewarded.

As for Dan, he's been with us for as long as l can remember and had an avalanche of problems, the primary of which were medical. A good bit of his story is here, but it's a lot of reading:

Wish it was closer to ark, but I'll be up for donation of money

I could take it to SW virginia instead of Charlotte which would open up the I-40 corridor- Knoxville-Nashville-Memphis, then little rock to DFW

 

[bluzieq]

If on a weekend I could do little rock to part way to dfw. Maybe more?

 

[bluzieq]

Or with some notice of the date could possibly take a vacation day. How about l.r. to shreveport.

 

[mrbill]

regarding the possible relay-I spoke up about being able to do the dallas-dan leg, just wanted to put it out there that I could also do a Houston-dan leg if the route goes that way.

 

[chambersuac]

Thanks, again, y'all.

 

[Titch]

Meh
Send it via Australia and we can show you how it's done.

Nice work mates

 

[smokinit]

Ok Phill and I have it all set I am crating it up this weekend and it will be picked up next week.

 

[THoey1963]

Picked up? Was there going to be a donation thingie set up?

 

[sbramm]

[smokinit]

Phill will go over it tomorrow
