Yes, that's the one. Exit 27 is 691 and 28 is the T/A. 8:30 sounds fine. We can wait till 8:45 for anyone who wants to come, then blow on out. If FireChick wants to meet us, we can wait at the rest area around Exit 71 (is that where it is?) but we'll have to establish the arrival time for that as well.



Haven't heard from Joe. He's welcome to join us, of course. TDews might want to join in as well!



MTE

I'll also hook up wit yooz... . Either in Southington or maybe where you meet Nicole.

Hey, It's looking good for getting that day off so here it goes.



1) Are you coming or not? YES



2) What do you intend to work on? Completing the installation of the PE4200 pump system.

All thats left is the braided SS lines from the Fuel filter to the VP44 with Fittings. Should be easy.



2a) Will you be needing the lift? Maybe, Not sure if it's needed to complete. I'll ask Scott.



3) What will you be bringing food/beverage wise. I don't know, What do you want?

I'm open to suggestions... . (within reason ) I am planning on bringing some dark beerOo.



I have a couple friends that may go as well. One just purchased a 2001 2500 from NH last week. He's lovin it.



Hey, MTE! Are we stopping for Breakfast at Cracker Barrel again. Have to start the day out right you know.

Yum, you know I'm always ready for Biscuits and Gravy. Do you think Torque This can be persuaded to stop for breakfast? Glad you're going to make it!

 

[Wheaties]

It should take about 40 min to get from Exit 28 to the rest area at Exit 71.

Leaving the T/A at 8:45 means we stop at the rest area at 9:30 and wait for fifteen whole minutes. Does that sound right?

 

[TORQUE THIS]

Matt, sounds about right, it's been a while since I've been up that way. Breakfast at Cracker Barrel... I personally think their food sucks!! Don't pass it by just cause of me. I can always go find a D&D while you guys are at the Crapper Barrel



BTW, do we have a plan if it snows???

Yeah Baby..... Cracker Barrel is a Must!!! Kevin where are you guys planning on meeting? It makes more sense to hook up there than for me to back track to Southington.

Gee, sorry to hear you don't like Cracker Barrel. I would think that breakfast is breakfast, and they do have good breakfast. No worries, we can decide at the rest area.



I'll be going snow or shine, though it may slow us down a bit. If it does snow, I won't be surprised if people drop out, won't be surprised if they hang tough and go anyway. The right thing to do is let everyone know your plan by radio or phone if you're dropping out or running late. Typically, we wait at a stopping point for the proscibed time, then go regardless, no waiting for stragglers. Let me know if you need my cell #.

Guys,



A moment of silence for the Columbia crew... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

 

[Straight6Jeff]

Fourth time in my life when I will never forget what I was doing when I heard the news.

 

[Camara]

I was at the model railroad show at the big E when I heard the news. Best wishes to their families.

We gonna need to do a convoy from the south shore? Carver, Middleboro, Plymouth, Mattapoiset? Its a long haul from here ya know!

Mark,



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'll throw this out: Anyone coming to wrench day from the south, meet us at Friendly's at the Middleboro rotary at 7:00 am. We can eat a quick breakfast and hit 495N from there right up to Scott's place. Let me know.

i'd like to do the kdp, or have scott do it, or have someone help-however- scott? jig method? anyone? maybe timing too?

 

[98rammer]

btw, is there going to be enough room?



oh yeah, i need some directions. (i remember it from the ford dealership... take a left at the small intersection with a store on the left. a few miles down that road and on the right at the dark red house)...



Mark- i dunno about the lobsters this time, maybe in the spring

 

[HoleshotHolset]

Tom: Call Scott ( 508-528-6127 ) only he can tell you if you or someone else would be allowed to use his bay(s) or his jig/timing tool set.

[Gregg Mig]

could someone please tell me where this is taking place,I would like to attend.

 

[Wheaties]

This will be in Norfolk, MA. It's been a while since we've had to post directions, so we'll have to do that, but for now, it's off of Exit 16 I-495, south of the Mass Pike.



MTE

 

[HoleshotHolset]

Greg: If I wanted to be really nice... I could swing down 190 and pickup 290 East... and possibly find you somewhere along the way? Let me know if you're interested... .



All my family's vehicles know where the shop is... . except for my brother's GASSER Jeep.
