New England Wrench Day Feb 22nd

[HoleshotHolset]

Does this mean I get to burn all the hair off my knuckles again while injecting compressed air into the "Lobstah Cookah from Mad Max" ?



Or will we use a more civilized method of brewing coffee?

Seems like there are more of us in the area now than ever before. I have a couple of buddies that were planning on going over to Scott's before I told them about wrench day, so I'm sure they'd want to convoy, too.

I'm in for the Friendlies meet. Just exchanged PMs with Mazdarotary but not sure if he will be meeting us there as well. Any other takers from the south shore?

I'm meeting two buddies at the southbound reststop at Chelmsford, Mass off of I-495 at around 7:30 AM 2/22/03. *E mail me at -- email address removed -- or PM me if you want to join in. *



Dan- has a '99 2500 cummins with an EZ and Paul- has a '97 6. 5 straight piped diesel.



oh, and btw, i picked up two 5" chrome stacks the other day now i need to go buy the rediculously overpriced plumbing ...

No need for that anymore ... ... . not scince the methane injection tank and nozzle have been set up

 

[FireChick]

hey... i've been away from the computer for awhile with work and school.



Yes, I can meet up at exit 71 (that's off 84 right?) at 9:30. Just remember I'll be getting out of work that morning at 7am (possibly 8am) so have to go home to "spruce up" for all you guys .



Anyway... . TNT... are ya still gonna need a ride?



Anything for breakfast sounds good to me... never had cracker barrel's breakfast before.



Awesome for the porto-potty... don't really like having to strip in the woods when its below freezing outside!!!!



Whoever (i don't remember who it was sorry) suggested wine... wine is just as good as dark beer! Oo.

 

[BIGDIG]

Just curious,anyone know the headcount yet for Wrench Day???

and MASSDIESEL-do you have pillar mounts and gauges at your shop,or know a place I can get them locally??maybe do an install on Wrench Day

 

[Wheaties]

Dat's my job! Okay, this is what we got:



23 TDR members, that is I have 23 handles that say they are definitely coming



5 more handles that are definite maybes



10 more headcount with folks bringing friends and family. FireChick, you bringing the dog?



Scott says some Ford guys are going to show up.



So a poor turnout is around thirty people, and a strong turnout is over forty, plus at least one dog, quite possibly three. Woof!



Haven't counted pigpen, big bird, or any of the rest of the local riff-raff. ... . they're good guys, you just can't get'em to wear shoes.



On the to-do list are KDP's, fuel management, injectors, comp boxes. gauges, and an air horn (Jeff!!! ... I'm gonna need your help). Rumor has it we're adding an Ute bumper to the list. Did I leave anything out?



BigDig,

You'll have to call Scott and tell him what you want. He can get just about anything!

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!! Uncle Sam was very generous this year DTT, here I comeOo. Oo. Oo.





I hope we are planning a small meeting... Chapter future, web site, etc...



Do we need anything for a raffle???

Do we need a turkey, I have one in the freezer!

 

[TORQUE THIS]

Does anyone know if Scott sells the Blue Chip pump cover?

Change gear oil in transfer case for amsoil,

Set injection timing (I'll be at the shop for 07:30, or earlier if needed)

Would like to also cut in a transmission temp sender if there's time I can do the wiring myself at a later time.



If any of these things will take up too much time or whatever please let me know. It can always be done another time and I can drink beer instead



Cheers,

Sean

Wheaties,thanks I'll stop by his shop Monday,have to go to Norfolk Power Equip to get tractor parts, 2 min away. Add to the list 2 friends and 1 GMC diesel dually,4 dr OH and a cooler of BEEEER Oo.

 

[FireChick]

I just realized... I have a turkey in the freezer that I can bring. Unless I hear otherwise, I will bring it.



I don't know about the dog. MacTruck may bring her in his truck if he can get the time off of work (which is looking good). Oo.



Wheaties... if we have the capabilities for the turkey, let me know, if not then I wron't bring it.

 

[Wheaties]

Last I heard, StraightSix was bringing the turkey fryer. Jeff? Correct me if I'm wrong? I think someone else said they had a turkey to bring. . two turkeys for forty people? I might get to eat some...

 

[ahartley]

To do list...

I'll be calling Scott on Monday to order my new exhaust. Oo.

 

[Batman]

Hey guys, this is mostly for the people that haven't been to Massdiesels yet... ... ..... If you are looking for something to buy and install during the wrench day, you may want to call Scott and make sure he has enough of what you want in stock!



I have about 5 bags of charcoal and some plates and utensils left from another meet that I will be bringing.

 

[Straight6Jeff]

I have the turkey frier covered.
