I hope I did come across mad Lil dog, I just told him not to bring the BD propaganda etc I informed him that guys will ask questions etc but it's not to showcase his products or to make a bumper day of sales thats all, although he may make a few just in discussion probably.

time sounds good to me.

 

I am in too. Hopefully my parts will be in.

Going up to Edmonton on the morning of the 30th to get some baseline numbers for my truck. Will take it up there afterwards and see what gains I get.

 

I'm touched. You're gonna make me park at the far end by the trash cans, aren't you?

Coffee, diesel fuel, my wife and kids. 3 things I cannot live without. Oh yah, and oxygen. Oxygen is important. Usually...

Unless I'm drinking a coffee while fixing the pig-rig and inhaling diesel fumes as I tell my 4 year old to turn the wrench that way (no the other "that" way yes that's right) wait STOP no, wrenches aren't used to scratch pictures in the dirt on Daddy's door panel What? no you can't use my welder to light a fire in the garage why not? because the Lord said so, that's why,WTH?, why are you stuffing my sockets into your pockets I kinda need those no they're not for banging chips out of the garage floor etc et al.

At those times breathing deep becomes vital to my continued sanity.

 

???

What, did everyone just fall asleep for the last few days? No insults, no jabs, no comments. Geez...

 

Well, its too true is the problem.. I have some younger helpers but the sentiment is the same....

I think we all were doing some deep breathing..

I just saw the sign today on the south side of Red Deer.. Its the Antique sale and show on the 20th... No wonder its soo busy..

Also the overpass at Innisfail fell apart today.. I think another high load hit on the northbound side and the highway was shut down this afternoon.. I think its lower than the sign says..>LOL...

 

For your notes. This is what BodyMechanic sent me..

The Gym is in the South end across from Bower Place mall. The address is 2310 Gaetz Ave, right behind Bo Diddley's, between Peavey Mart and Winners.


The meet is set for November 20th, 2004 and we were thinking of starting to show up around 10:00 am...

If anyone needs further directions, we can add them in or just pop it into Mapquest or Maptuit and it will get you there..

I'm staying in Calgary on the 19th and the 20th in Red Deer.
J- thanks for helping with options in Lacombe but I have to go thru Cowtown anyway and Bob found a room for us in Red Deer for the 20th. How long is this gonna last? Past supper?

If not...maybe I will go back to Calgary and blast some doors off some trash trucks.

New clutch goes in tomorrow.

I am tired of multi smoke...BLACK BLACK diesel smoke, blueish tire smoke and that white stuff from the clutch.



Just the other day I thought I was stuck in front of the house when I dumped it. No snow or ice around. Whoops. Bye Bye clutch.

 

I hope to make the meet. What time at TH in Airdrie?
Jim

 

By all means...that won't be too hard considering my interior door unlocker kind of fell off a few days ago

(Don't ask, the door still locks, but I'm at a loss to explain HOW that happened. What else is new?)

Bring some coveralls when you get to Calgary (mine won't fit your manly physique). You can toss some junk with me for the day . Good workout!

 

Oops sorry Balzac, missed your question. 8am perhaps? That'll give us some leeway for departure time (830?) if we have any stragglers. Whaddya think?

 

I have no set timeline for the day.. The last GTG started peetering out just around 3 or so.. I don't expect it to be a long day but its not structured, so any group of guys could stay till the cows come home..( or we get sick of the stench of VonT's truck )

Conceavibly you could go to Cowtown anytime, its about 1.25 hours to the north end and there should be accomodations there.

I feel your pain on the clutch..I though I had lost some power from bad fuel, but I think I am slipping the clutch slowly.. Its days are numbered til it .

 

I was thinking meeting at Timmy's in Airdrie about 8:00am. Meet the next group at Bowden FasGas on the way up.

I'll be in Airdrie about 7:30 am.

 

Another option is the new Smitty's next door to Tim's, apparantly good food, a step above most Smitty's. Breakfast at 8 sounds tempting.

7:30? Man why so early?



I will try but plan to see me in Red Deer coffee in hand, smile in face...you know the usual cheery me.

 

Why 7:30? 7:00 is to early! LOL!!
