The Black Hole

[gmanpaint]

Took this rig to the shop today.

They used a massive power bleeder and ran 1/2 gal of new fluids thru the system.

Pedal is firm, and at the top where it should be, and they work great.

So I would like to ask all of you subscribed to say a prayer to the wrenching gods, make a peace offering, and hope that this is all over & done with for good. Thanks!

Good deal gregg, hopefully this saga is done finally

I flushed a dollar down the toilet for ya--maybe this will help.

I have a feeling the gods want more though. Let me see what I can come up with. I know I have some bourbon---think it will help?

I'd sacrifice a virgin for ya but I don't think Yolanda would approve.

I'm sure someone around here is praying to the porcelain god for ya.

Here's to this part of the Black Hole's saga coming to an end.

Bourbon & Virgins, sounds like a party!

I feel the need to celebrate, but I wont as the Wrenching Gods might think that as blasphemy

Who wants to head back to the off road park with me now?

Lookin' Good!

Better offer a live or whole KFC Chicken to the wheeling gods, or they may rust though your brake lines while your sleeping

 

[gmanpaint]

Itching to go back to the off road park as this thing didn't get too much accomplished last time out when the brakes failed. Since that is taken care of, I am looking for someone to go back with me!

Who's in?

 

[rickybobby]

Wish i could gregg, but the drive is a bit much

 

[Naasau]

You could always come test your rig in CO. ;-)

Like this?

 

[crazyflights]

Exactly!!!

 

[Naasau]

Indeed! If you came to visit you might just get us CO Contingent guys to all meet up in one place!

 

[Naasau]

Oh, and damn that looks like fun! Great pics!

Look up the CCR meets and you will find that this forum has been meeting annually for like 10 years now in the San Juan Mt range, Ouray for the most part. Last couple of years haven't happened due to the poor economy I think. But..

We really need to get our sheep together again this year and make it happen this September!

CCR= CO Colors Run

 

[Naasau]

Funds are tight, but that sounds like it is awesome enough to make happen! (Even if I still have open diffs)

 

[crazyflights]

Yea, open diffs would be fine. To me the trails we took when I went were like awesome backroads. But not really that challenging on the vehicle, other than Black Bear pass, which was challenge on the driver. Now I'm sure there is are trails that are alot tougher, but I think we were doing stuff more geared toward a majority that go, will be able to do them.

I'm down for 2012 CCR if one happens.

 

[Naasau]

It sounds like we have a mission! We might even be able to flush 410Fortune out of hiding.

 

[gmanpaint]

I just talked to another member about CCR 2012, good chance of this happening under one condition. 2 days in Moab is a must

Also, My son would want to go to Moab as well, he has never been, and has wanted to go for years now. So, that would be an objective for us as well.

We would stay in a cabin in Moab, then set up camp in CO. Funds will be the main factor on this trip, and the 95 would most likely wear the 33" KM2's for best MPG's.

Hopefully Brian1 starts a thread on CCR, if not, one of us should.
