I like the idea of a more informal GTG like the tech session mentioned.
Has anyone talked to George about the idea? He is a busy man. If we want to do this we need to get on his calendar soon I imagine.
I am going to see him tomorrow. I will try to remember to mention it to him and see what he thinks.

OK sounds good. I remember John saying he wanted to host a GTG and what better than one that has a possibility of selling parts.

I really like the idea of going to George's. It would be a good thing for all of us to give him our wants/needs, strike a deal, and then pickup our parts at the GTG and save on shipping. This might take a little more time than what is left in October, however.

Well I just got off the phone with Bren and he has talked to George. They looked at the calendar and decided the 18th would work the best so how does that sound to everyone? Also we talked about getting a few different $5 Pizza's and some pops to have and George would have tables set up. The Pizza's could be provided with a couple donations just so George isn't paying for a bunch of people to eat and drink.

Dustin, Bren and George, I'm in I(we) have a soccer game at 1 o'clock at Riveroaks so I'll just drive Ruffuss there and meet you in BC. What time were you thinking? If you need something to figured out you could help me solve the no gas gauge working problem I've had with Ruffuss since I started driveing him 12 years ago, that would be a great help to the non electrical me. Tell me what I might need and I'll order it from George or bring it with me. It (Ruffuss) has a new(2yrs) tank and sending unit., but the unit didn't help the problem. Someone said something about a vibrater and I have another gauge. Would be willing to order it all new just to not have to count miles between fill-ups. Let me know Kenn

After meeting Bren and Dustin this weekend I was planning on coming out with all my front air beam parts to put together. Well Sunday morning I was down south on the hunting property checking our cams and I kicked up a nice size 6 point about 10 feet from my stand. Scared the scheisse out of both of us. Going to hunt all this weekend in hopes of putting him on the ground.

Oh well I was interested on seeing how your air ride system was set up on your front beam. No big deal.
Dustin you may want to add John from Plainwell to you list. I have no problem with dragging is car with my truck. If I remove his CV Axle's his transmission will not spin causing and further damage. We can also look at his brakes more closely.
We need to check with him first.

I just ordered the part for Kenn's fuel gauge issue. Should have it by tomorrow or Wed.
I have Aki's car at my house and will deliver it to George Friday for the full tune up.
We can try to work on John's car too. However, if we pull the trans for a repair/rebuild should we do that at John's house so the car can be stored there? Does not matter to me either way. Maybe we should see what George thinks about looking at this also on Saturday, might be too much. Just thinking outloud here.

I was only implying to figure out the problem not rip it all apart. That can be done at a later date.
