Alright guys got the 19th cleared... So 12/19 it is...

If you remember from before (as all of my meets are cold)
Plan on bringing snacks, air mattress/cot/blankets.. I have 3 couches in the attached apt, plenty of floor space and a bed... Shop will stay heated as well...


Bring your projects, shop is fairly well stocked, just remember to clean up after yourselves... No fun if I get to clean up for half a day afterwards

What else... Oh ya dry county, so bring your beverages of choice.. Next county 10miles away... If you plan on drinking, you plan on staying...

Lott gun range is open for business as well (err.. without the above)
Gander Mtn on the way to stock up on ammo and targets

Oscar having his family Christmas party on the 12th so that weekend was out.. Also Dan moving weekend, not sure if he will be ready to come down the next weekend or not... Moving sucks


Should still resemble a truck then... Actually hoping to throw a bandaid on the truck this weekend... HG was blown when I bought the truck, no fluid mixing, just antifreeze down the side of the block... No $$ to dip/deck/oring/valve job yet, so just going with a set of std ARPs and a .020 over gasket... Should hold me til everything goes to the machine shop... Will also give me a sneak peak to get a better idea of what machining is going to involve... Only catch will be getting to an end mill to machine the rockers down for the ARPs What a PITA... have to mill .2" tall by 1.1" deep... Oh well...

He's got a ways to go to catch the "F-5" of signators!
When Robert posts a one line comment it still takes up my entire screen!

good news as well from me, a fellar that owed me some monies finally got around to settling up with me.... I have four new firearms. cant ever go wrong with that. Is there a website to check and make sure the serial numbers don't have a wrap sheet? Or would this be something I just need to check in with someone of Robert's kind ?


Max just send me an email with the info....make, caliber, serial numbers etc. and I will see what I can do about checking them. You have my email right?

I won't be back at work until Tuesday though......im off for a few days.

We are having Turkey day here local but im taking Jana to introduce her to family in Mississippi the rest of the weekend.
