Yeah, Bkennedy and I are being rebels...rules say avatars must be automotive related or a mugshot. I guess we'll be hearing from the powers at be

Haven't seen any mention of it, but will the RTI ramp be making an appearance?

*Stic-o* · 10-17-2008, 10:54 AM

I think the RTI ramp was talked about, but I told my dad don't worry about it sense he has a car sitting on his trailer right now (which is for sale

)

Who is going to be there Friday? I'm off but didn't want to show up to early, if I'm going to be sitting there by myself

I think my parents may stroll in after dark, but we should be there in the afternoon sometime.

I'm leaving the Tucson area early Friday morning so I should be there early afternoon on Friday.

Likewise -- we should be there between 2 and 3 pm. I can't wait to go pumpkin picking!

I'd LOVE to go, but can't do it this trip.

Brian could always drop off the big bottle over at my place...

Someone need to buy a Tiki so Bill can come. Or we can all pitch in for one, I'm game

Who else?

**Dannyboy** · 10-17-2008, 12:02 PM

diesel is down to $3.02, that will make the fuel on this trip about $100 cheaper than the last time I came out.

wow, it's still $3.45/gal around here..

**RangerX** · 10-17-2008, 01:56 PM

I just bought reg unleaded for $3.07. I predict 2.99 here in 7-10 days.

*R.J.* · 10-17-2008, 06:24 PM

i predict $15 still doesn't get me very far in the navajo. but it'll get me 150 miles in the GTI

I'm taking the whole day off for a change, & I plan on being there by noon or earlier. That will make for a longer weekend.

*Boomer12* · 10-17-2008, 10:20 PM

I got my truck back today, and it now moves under it's own power in every gear.

Now I'm just waiting on 64 lbs of metal to be delivered so that i can install it. If everything goes as planned, then I'll be down there between 3-4 Friday afternoon.

I won't drop it off, but I will save it for a trip when you can come out. Think how smooth that Double Bastard must be by now..... I was at Stone a few weeks ago filling a growler and told the guy at the counter. He said he could never keep that stuff for that long, he would always drink it. He looked like he wished he could get ahold of my bottle...had that whistfull look that only a real ale drinker gets.

The double/arrogant bastars get smoother over time? I have a couple bottles that are over a year old.. I wonder if they smoothed out some.. (I tried to drink one by myself a year or so ago.. can't handle it yet. fishcher or some ethopian beer is as strong as I can handle..

well the explorer survived a weekend beeting in barstow. barstow has the roughest gnarliest desert stuff. pre ran some of the course and beat the expo up pretty good. i should be in for the for the day on saturday

*DB_1* · 10-19-2008, 08:51 PM

Got my KOH video back this weekend so we can watch it at Thaven next weekend

I went to Anaheim this weekend in the Ranger no less for a going away party and noticed the CHP was out in force pretty much from my house all the way to OC on Saturday...didn't see much of a presence on the way back home this morning though.
On the weather front, no major wind events so far but it does look like it will be in the upper 90's for the weekend
