Oh, I was talking about moving my vote to Sat instead of Sun, making a Sat/Sun even 50%/50% for votes...since i can do Saturday and want to head to the Sun event.

My apologies, I didn't look at the event close enough and assumed that it was on Saturday. I will try to read more carefully in the future.

Bill I don't believe you voted for Saturday either, but said you can do any day. Does that mean you would do Saturday too? If so, this would mean 11 people signed up for sat (after Vlad's switch) and would save me from having to break a 10 - 10 tie.

Can't believe it may snow again. Surely it'll be a true blizzard this time since it was so tame last time and we actually have plans for the 15th. I planned on prepping the car this weekend as it hasn't moved all winter. Uggghhh. I foresee a postponement into May. I take it you're not free until May 19th-20th then Rocky? As you know, Sunday all day every day for me.

Rocky - I voted for the two Sundays as a show of support for Duc and Ash who both said they could only do Sundays this time around. Even though it sounds like Duc is now out for Sunday 4/15, I'm gonna leave my votes alone on the principle that votes are votes. Fearless Leader has final say. I'll roll whenever it is.

Hey Paul, good to see you. I'll make the call once the forecast matures for next weekend.

Duc, Yeah not free again for over a month Again, you all are welcome to go without me but I figured that was not likely after the response to that last time.

Bill, Sounds good still 10-10

Thank you sir.

Fake news. If we do run it this day, then it'll just mean y'all will have to put up with my corroded chrome rims again as weather won't permit me to polish them up this weekend. Although laziness and aloofness may also be factors.

Yeah, we can't seem to get anything done without you Rocky. Let's get a barbecue/picnic/potluck in Mt Vernon going at some point this summer eh?

I am a maybe for next weekend on this. Sadly, due to a bad power steering pump, my car is still stuck in AZ and wont be shipped back in time. I have my new daily I could bring though it will look like a school bus compared to a FC or FD

I agree, it sure looks like the weather is being decisive. Okay I'll call it, unless the weather changes on us and we have to push we are meeting up SATURDAY 4/14.

See you all at the Iron bar Lane IHOP foor @0800 Departure @1000

You mean I semi-polished my wheels for nothing over the weekend? And I bought an annual pass last Fall too. Will have to drive out there solo and hope we get out there again before it expires in the Fall to break even. Weather always screwing me.

Have fun y'all. I may be able to meet out at the brewery afterwards on Saturday. I'll text if so.

I've got my Antique tags for the FD now I'll do a shakedown test this evening to make sure nothing went wrong while it was sitting, If everything goes well, I'll be in that.

Weather is still looking good. We've got a Cruise!

Awesome! I’ve solicited the LS powered ‘93 SSM that’s listed on Craigslist to attend. The guy is interested in coming, hoping to confirm tonight. I’m looking forward to a good turnout!

In my ineffable wisdom, I decided it would be a good idea to change the gear oil in the trans and rear diff last week. While doing so, I completely mangled the square trans fill plug which was good and stuck so the car sits fluid-less while I wait for a new part to arrive. And here I was hoping to break in the new RE71Rs too. I'll either be on the bike or in the FoST tomorrow but my plan is still to be there.

I have a parts car if you feel like coming over tonight and grabbing the plug. I had a heck of a time with mine when I did my diff.

Thanks for the offer! It's tempting but I have so much I'd need to do to get the FD ready I probably will take the easy way out and put the summer tires on the ST and give it a bath instead of rushing trying to finish the FD tonight

Ugh, Matt I have a spare too. I wish you'd mentioned it last week.

Sorry to miss you Ash, Duc, and anyone else that can't make it. Hope to see everyone else tomorrow.

Paul, the car needs to be with it's bretheren...
