Lunch In La Crosse, WI, Sat., March 23

[MN Cummins Lvr]

I have made lunch reservations at Schmidty's in La Crosse, WI at Noon on Saturday, March 23. Their address is 3119 State Road and I have attached a link with some info about it.



Everyone is invited and welcome; even the Power Joke and Durapuke guys, if they are brave enough to show up! http://dine.lacrossenet.com/menuitem.php?ItemID=193

Directions and stuff.

The easiest way to get there from the interstate is like this. Take I-90 to exit 5. Take Hwy 16 south. Follow 16 south for about 10 miles or so. It will become Losey Blvd. Stay on Losey until you come to Hwy 33 (State Road). There will be a K-Mart on your left and a Video Store on your right. Turn left on to Hwy 33 (State Road). Follow this road over the bridge and Schmidty's will be on the left hand side. It's a red building across the street from Kwik Trip. They probably won't be able to accomodate 20-25 trucks in the parking lot next to the building. There is parking across the street. That would probably be the best place to park. It's gravel, but there should be enough space. If you guys need different directions, call me at (608)304-0399.

Pardon me; excuse me, coming thru people!

Hey all, just thoght I'd sneak in here and give you a heads up. Huckstorf Diesel Injection in Franklin, WI has signed up to be vendors at Thunder in Muncie. I talked with Mark there and they are interested in getting involved with everyone in that area. I talked with them and they are putting in a new Mustang dyno later this year. We will have more information available at Thunder in Muncie. Make sure you find their booth and welcome them to the family (if you think they are fit )

Thanks for letting me butt in here.

Lunch and stuff

Hey all, just got home a few minutes ago.



First a word of thanks to Paul for setting up the lunch get together. Met some new people, put faces to names and saw some folks I haven't seen in almost a year.



Eric, thanks for the info... I'll have to drop in on his shop as I'm just up the road. Glad to see a diesel perf. shop in the area. I think johnrv4 has been to see him but I'm not sure.



Thanks again Paul and I hope everyone made it home safe.

Airplane battery took a dump

Well, I was all set to fly up and have Fireman Dave pick me up at the airport, but the battery in my plane decided to die this week.

Eric, I have talked to John Huckstorf earlier this year, and e-mailed them a link to "Thunder in Muncie". They do sound interested in getting together with our group. John said that they would be interested in an open house at their shop. I was planning on talking to them in the near future and set something up. They sound like they have a nice operation going-one of them has a PSD, and the other a CTD. I think that both are getting BOMBED. .

Hope everyone had a good time today, while I was pricing new batteries

 

[Fireman Dave]

Paul - Thanks for setting it up! It was a lot of fun - as usual.



Eric - feel free to butt in anytime - or even come on up sometime!



John - Bummer about the battery. We missed you!:{ :{



It was good to meet some new faces and see the familiar ones. Sorry guys, but my favorite newbie was Jason's 6 year old sister - Megan. What a cutie!
