[Todd T]

as long as momma keeps that little one in a few more weeks..... I'll be there.



We're due the 24th... . its a Girl



Peter, you guys are the greatest. BTW: would that parts washer fit a 8N Ford in it. mine is REAL rusty

 

[Doc Tinker]

It's looking more likely that I'll be there. Still not sticking my neck out, because Brair might lop my head off if I don't show up



Doc

 

[BillH]

Hey Doc, if Briar doesn't, I will.

 

[South Bend Clutch]

It appears that there is still some question on the date.



The 15th seemed to be the choice of dates so the 15th it will be.



I am sorry, the hoist did not come through but there is plenty of room for some bombing to take place if anyone is interested in that.



I will have my secretary attach directions to the shop tomorrow.



I look forward to seeing all who can make it on the 15th at 9:00



I will plan a dyno day extravaganza early next year so we can all check out these guys’ awesome facilities. I think you will be impressed! As for this event... . in Eric's words KISS and lets have a little fun.

For those needing directions, I'm providing a link to a zoomed in map on Mapquest. You will be able to zoom in and out as needed to find your way here.

Count me in.



Bill

 

[MR V]

Hummm. This sounds like fun for the day. Do I need to be a GLTDR club member to attend?

 

[DHRA]

Nope

Mr. V you don't have to be a GLTDR member, but I can't promise that you won't be when we leave! I'm there of course!

 

[Wally19]

I'm in, the fishing trip is being postponed. The ice is not ready. I am planning on still doing a clutch, I think I got most of what Peter don't have, anything else anyone can think of.



I am bringing a:

1. Heavy Duty transmission Jack

2. Bottle Jack

3. High temp Bearing grease

4. Sockets, Wrenches



I dont have:

1. Long extensions

2. Tools to remove drive shaft

3. Any fluids for transmission or T-case (is any of these necessary. )



Thanks,

Jason

 

[Briar Hopper]

Well guys. 3M is requiring me to work 2 extra days this weekend, to cover for a mechanic that was suspended. Everybody else in Maintenance/Engineering is already stretched thin, covering for several colleagues out sick, or suspended. It's still possible I'll be able to get someone else to cover those two days . If so, I'll be there ! I'll know by Thursday morning, at the latest.

Looks like it Doc's turn to be ****ed at me, LOL !

 

[Doc Tinker]

Sure Briar. . After all that harping you did, you're gonna not show up for this one?. . And here I was hoping for some abuse. . Oh well. . guess I'll just have a good time instead.



I'll have lots of tools, if there's anything that you guys need. I hope Peter's got a comfortable chair for me.



Doc

 

[Todd T]

oh way to go Briar, I'm driving 4 1/2 hours to get there + my wife is ready to shoot a pup at any minute and "woo-woo i gotta work, I cant go"



plus, you promised me a ride. well i guess ill just have to get my PM3 upgraded and ride in my own truck.



just kiddin, hope you can make it...

 

[Doc Tinker]

By the way Briar. . What kind or outfit do you work for? Everyone is out sick or on suspension! Are you that bad of an influence? LMAO



Doc

 

[Briar Hopper]

Yeah, Doc, I'm so good, I'm doing the work of two mechanics We've been short-handed for over 2 years, the usual corporate down-sizing crap, ya know? It's like I don't get paid for wrenching or what I know, I get paid for how much B. S. I can put up with.

Todd T : Sorry... . this was totally unexpected. Unfair to me, and to all my friends, but that's what it's like to work this kind of a job.

I really had hoped to compare notes with you, rides, and all that, we got some turbo discussin' to do ! I'll know for sure Thursday morning, still trying to wiggle out of it.

 

[Briar Hopper]

It's a go !

Well, I managed to get out of it, I'm free this weekend. It cost me, so y'all better be nice to me when I get there!

 

[Partyat33]
