Well im not sure if dinner(s) have been completely decided or not. I went to Walmart tonight and picked up a box of 32 HB paddies and 2 packs of hotdogs, buns, chips, etc. if anybody wants any. I also got some charcoal and starter. Should have plenty of ketchup....cheese, hopefully mustard. If you want any other HB trimmings...you will have to bring it. BYOB.

I am planning on going ahead and bringing the Toyhauler for those that prefer not to sleep in the bed of the trucks. The weather should be pretty nice...70s during the day and 50s at night and not as windy as the past few days. Perfect, imo.

Also, James Northum will hopefully be up Saturday afternoon.

Yes, I have the jack and a couple of sets of stands. Also, the compressor and electric impact.

I'm gonna be at the shop 'til 9 tonight, so I'll be coming by tomorrow - sometime in the afternoon, since Saturday is usually "wrench on the '98 day".

Great weekend....Good Group!
Thanks to all who helped me with my new wheels.... saved my back for installing new Air Horn!

And thanks to Charlie for the Chili...and the use of 'The Ranch!
Thanks to Robert for bringing his camper! A little heat at night, and the burgers was very nice.

Probably the biggest crowd I've seen at the Ranch in a while. Plus there is now the new firepit.

The trip home was uneventful...managed to slip right back into clutchless shifting without too much problem. The 2Low was a lifesaver for getting it backed up on the driveway at home. Right now, I have just enough clutch pressure to get it into gear and start coming off the floor before it takes off. Luckily, I won't need it to drive around this week while I was for new hydraulics.
