Does anyone want to get there a bit early and have breakfast at that place in Florence again?

I could do breakfast at that little place again. Although I am not sure if the better half is joining me this year or not. I think I would like to stick around and camp this year. Last year I wasn't feeling 100% and ended up going home.

If I had to guess I would put a # around 30 or so going to be there. I'm going for a 20 lb bird and a good size ham .I may need help cooking when it comes time out at camp.

Bob, you can count on me to help with the cooking.

I did talk to Derek and he thinks he can make it.

Also, I dropped by 'knuckle busters' and talked to Dave. He's got an older waggy. After telling him about it he thinks he might try to make it out too.

OK you sick jeep-a-holics!
I am putting myself, my lovely wife, and my 2 boys down for a solid maybe. Here's the deal. Looking at every weekend up until X-mas, I have 2 free that I am not out of town or nailed down to some other project. The weekend after next, and the weekend in question. My Be-Cool rad finally has given up the ghost, and my master cylinder needs changing. I am going to pull 2 all nighters the weekend after next to get it done. If that happens, I am in. I pulled the jeep out of summer moth balls a week ago and dang it was good driving it again. I am 80% confident I will get her all done...

I have conferred with my parental units and my presence will be required in Salt Lake from the 17-20. Which would leave me a day to drive home from Utah, get the jeep, and be to Florence by 9;00 AM. Regrettably, I just can't make it. You all have fun and I'll put it in the calendar for next year.

Does anyone want to head out Friday? We can wheel a bit, secure the camp spot, hang out, go to Florence for breakfast on Saturday...

I can probably get the day off, I have to burn some vacation time before the end of the year.

That was my original plan, not an option with this short notice.

Well, I can't believe it but I am dropping my rig off on Monday to have some work done... If it is not ready I will just come on down with the sportrac.

I lost the parking brake when I swapped axles, the disc brake conversion doesn't support a parking brake option. I am having Knuckle Busters do a transfer case parking brake along with a hand operated lever. We will see if it takes them a week. ;)
