I'm baaaaack!


Made it after 800 kms exactly. 1.25 tanks of fuel at 2200 rpm or 120 kph or 70 mph.
No issues.

Now where is that Paton........... Ahhh there it is......mmmmmmm.


Holy shoot....look at all the beer on the table!!!!!

Grizz is all cleaned up and soon there will be three green ones in Bills driveway.

Tomorrow will be my day to work on the Grizz until John arrives later.
Hurry up John, I've already been to the store.

Many more Pics to come as soon as we start to download.

Bill should be home any moment.
I gotta hurry and down as much as I can.......









Stopped at Woodburn and picked up a 2009 schedule. Test n Tune racing this weekend!

WTF??

I thought you weren't going to make it?

I'm leaving home tomorrow morning but I'm stopping in Seattle to meet a friend for dinner, I may not make it to Bill's until Friday afternoon. (depending how dinner goes )

Just waiting for Margaret to bring the car home so I can give it a quick wash before the hose freezes up again. Don't want to drive a dirty white car down there.

Friday!
Come on and get yur butt down here John. You're gonna miss the teardown. Matt will be here Friday at Noon.

I got busted.

Bill came home early cause he had a 4:pm appointment with a Sherriff .

I have another hour till he come back with Dex.

He turned on his new Hi Def TV for me and I'm basking in surround sound and drinking his beer.......ahhhhhh....life is good!

I brought my ramps so the Grizz is now in the air and ready for some probing.....


I know I said I couldn't make it but my passion got the better of my common sense...funny how that works. So glad I did.
It's almost 60 F here and sunny.

Salt is all washed off!

Come on Paul,
You know where the tools are.

I expect the tear down to be complete before dark; you have ~2.5 hours.

I'm assuming that the beer is on the table cause the fridge is already full?




I know what you mean.



Hummmm........ no Margaret to say NO! Too bad I don't have a base line to measure against once I get the rockers in.

Yes the fridge is full of beer as well.

John, the Grey Goose is only $40 a bottle down here.

Bill brought more beer home but had to leave it on the floor.

Yes, Mike I have organized Bill's tools. You know what I mean. I carefully placed the matt under it and cleaned it up.
I want Bill to inspect it and take it for a drive as soon as he gets home........before he gets into the fridge.

No Grey Goose for me Paul. Since I can't get my new favorite beverage down there (Cuban rum) I'll stick with beer.

I'm bringing the Goose back for Laura.

Too much beer here to matter.

.....and I still want to be able to drive.

Don't forget those cigars John. I picked up a few US Cuban imports here.

I wish I could be there.. I did get my passport, and enough money..

HOWEVER got a new job, and work weekends 9:50 to 5:50 so... Have fun :(

Maybe I can go see Bill during the week? (If i'm not going to Powell River)

Sitting here with Jordan (VBCSpangler) and Paul (2000reallyoldguySilverBullet). About to head out to China Buffet. Had a pint or two at a friend's house when we picked Dex up. Zilla is healthy and happy for now.

Lots of beer around here. But for the non beer drinkers, I've got wine and Katie's home-made root beer available.


Got 4 L67's sitting out here right now. Not all Series 1 (3/4), but all 4T60's!

Sorry Rags, worked a full shift and more today, only had a couple minutes to skim things over before we left. Weekdays are bad. Paul is here early, and on his own. I work tomorrow, and at least half a day Friday. Weekday meets aren't good with my workload right now. It's complicated. With all the layoffs, we pour everything we have into our funded projects to get them profitable sooner.

EDIT....I've only taken two pics so far.

Left to right SLEeper, Grizz, Paul's dumbass beer belt, Zilla (95, 94, 93 L67's):

(not pictured, VBCSpangler's 96 SSEi)

Parking, Zilla style. Grizz on the left, Zilla on the right:

(yes, that's Dex going under)

If it wasn't for work tonight and tomorrow, I would be there by now.

Bill, did we end up with a canopy? I have seen a few on sale and I could grab one.

John, I am leaving here at 10 AM on Friday, but my schedule could be adjusted if you are going to be near here. Let me know and we could always meet up just a little south of here on I-5.

me too!! Ed look away! you'll be tortured!!! On second thought, look, now you'll see what you could miss by going to that family reunion.... do you feel the loss big bro? I do!

Hey, if there's anyone near Ed who's crazy enough to make the trip down here and risk me slapping them for not coming earlier do me a favor and throw Ed in either a trunk or crate (with airholes please) and bring his sorry ass down here!

Dex is such a handsome pup! Very playful.

Bill has passed out and Jordan has just gone home.

I'm not sure when I'll be coming through Portland, depends on how tired I get. I been working early shift so long that I start falling asleep when it gets dark. However, I'm having dinner with a friend in Seattle, if alcohol is involved I may end up spending the night there, that would put me on track for 10 am through Portland. If so, I'll call you.
