Re: Oh no, not another one..........
Don't give up John. I am looking locally here and i might be able to get one at a local distributor. I let you know what I find.
By the way, PM me your phone and address again, I screwed up my address book and lost you.

Re: Oh no, not another one..........
Just a few little notes.
-Paul, I'll be in Powell River to do some work on some of the clinics there from the 14th to the 22nd doing work so maybe we could meet up
-Bill, once I get my passport and some monies, I'm up to driving down for maybe a little meet with you and MFB, maybe bring down some of the stuff from my secret mod list that nobody knows what exactly is on it.

Re: Oh no, not another one..........
Sorry Ray I wanted to go so bad but my personal circumstances right now have taken a financial hit.....not unlike many others.
On a positive note, I will be following along by the hour over this forum and expect some great pics and vids!

Re: Oh no, not another one..........
Just tuck that Patron under your bed and save it for another time.
More good news.
Victor just got his preliminary acceptance to University of Victoria for Engineering Co-op program! Solid B average so far but he has potential of A's. I was impressed he could work 20 hrs a week and be a star player for the Senior Basketball team. He ended up missing 14 days of school and one midterm. It's amazing how much an average drops when you factor in a zero!
He can't afford to take time off of school or work from now until he starts in September.
I officially retire from my full time job of 30 years on September 1. With the state of industry the future of my consulting work may be limited.
....and we all know what happened to the investment funds that were supposed to be there..
....and I can't leave him or my wife home alone. :sad5:
OK, that's enough. I will say no more, so don't bug me about it!

Snowed last night. Will today/tonight again. But I don't think it'll carry into next weekend. Looks like 'mildly wet' for the meet.

Re: Oh no, not another one..........
Those portable sun shade covers we use during the summer to protect against the hot sun would be good.
Two would be better.

Re: Oh no, not another one..........
Hope the snow is gone now. It's been sunny and dry but hovering around the freezing mark and is expected to continue that way the rest of the week.
How does the latter part of the week look now?

Re: Oh no, not another one..........
454, do you have a SC gasket, two yellow o-rings, supercharger oil, and a coupler? Sealant goo too?
Weather:
Tuesday more snow, highs in the 40's, low 25.
Wednesday Sunny, high 50, low 30.
Thursday Sunny High 55, low 35
Friday Partly sunny highs 55-60, lows 35-40.
Saturday partly cloudy, chance os showers highs 55-60, lows around 35 (chance of snow there, I'm at the bottom of a cold hill)
Sunday Mostly cloudy, chance of showers, highs 50-55, lows around 35 (more chance of snow)
Change of car locations. Matt's 2k with the cam swap will be in the driveway right in front of the door. John's rockers will be along the side of the garage over the bark (shadd's hood-painting spot). 454's coupler will be on the gravel side of the driveway. Both my cars SHOULD be on the street by then. Alive or dead when I turn the key, the Zilla is going out. The garage will be for people, tools, and other misc light work. Not really enough room for a car when others need access to tools.
Attendance looks like:
willwren, shorty94, Dex
Matt and his Father-in-Law (staying here)
Red454 and Wife (hotel)
John (staying here)
VBCSpangler (home, 10 blocks away)
Another confirmed
Another Possible
I miscounted last night. Someone will very likely be sleeping on the couch. I'm putting the kid's beds back into a bunk setup for Matt and Wendy's Dad. Someone will be on the queen inflatable where the other bed was (much better use of the space). There is room for another air mattress in there, but if another member shows up, someone will have to 'floor' it. Hope everyone is bringing sleeping bags just in case.

Re: Oh no, not another one..........
Don't forget us! I'm still coming, I NEED to get out of Boise, bad. We're looking forward to coming. How about PM'ing your address and number, Bill. I just had my car aligned and new struts installed so it will be a nice and smooth ride.
We'll be at the Motel 6.
