Stanley would fit right in with your Subes :-) Great pictures in front of the blank information board

Ahhhh.....I wasn't working on Sunday night, then I was working on Sunday night and now I'm not working on Sunday night again!! I'm back to getting out there around 4pm/5pm again. See you all there.

Is there any doubt in anyones minds this is a 'dry' event? No Alcohol... Guns means safety. Means no Alcohol. I only mention that because I'm the person who originally brought up Alcohol. One of you mentioned back then that bringing alcohol might keep some people away and even though it's agreed we're not it's a shame that the mere mention of it has done that. Sorry. ----- Anyways. Looks like I won't be able to get up there till about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Busy weekend at work. EDIT: Looks like it won't be happening for me this weekend, just got a revised work schedule and I'm probably on the clock till 9pm. DARN!!!! Twitch can you pm me a map or something so if I can get out there I can still meet up with you guys. I've just popped on new tie rods and I'm sure the suspension isn't up for rallying but it'd be fun to drive out and camp still.

Had a tie rod break on me! The socket popped out on a low speed corner after about 2 mins of creaking noises as a warning. Replaced both and the lil' subes turning lighter, faster, sharper. Looked like the PO had tapped it back in and covered it with glue/sealant or something. $25 a tie rod new compared to $7 from the JY. Ball joints probably next thing to get changed. ^

Any progress on tracking down the issue?

Twitch, would the wires make a difference when the car was cold compared to hot? I'm having the same type of issues although after 5 mins of warming up he's fine. But the sputtering and coughing is there at the start.

Hey Twitch, I was going to roller paint the sube' but Harbor Freight has HVLP guns for $15 and I've a nice neighbor whose willing to loan me a compressor... For a tiny bit more money and a lot less sanding and work I'm going to spray him. Just a heads up on an alternative cheap paint job.

ohhhhhh HK's.... I'll be bringing my Beretta 92 for sure and a Glock or Sig or whatever I can muster between now and then. Awesome.

I do like Spokane, but like 'girlwal' and others say there are towns just over the border in Idaho like Post Falls and CDA that are easily accessible from Spokane. Tax, living space, and the cost of gas is at least 10c cheaper in North Idaho. I make the drive from Spokane out to CDA every week in rush hour traffic and apart from the highway getting flooded 2 weeks ago it's an easy uncongested drive. Spokane is an easy place to commute around. The options for outdoor pursuits here are incredible. I think that's been said a dozen times already. Crime in Spk, is mostly petty drug related stuff, smash and grabs and small thefts etc. (I've seen stat's on it, but can't remember the address for the FBI (?) records site) Violent crime isn't that high maybe because the CCW laws are fair and everyone here I know is armed!! Your spoiled for hunting as well.

I've been in and out of the Junk yards all week. I'll take a lot at the tires on the next trip out. Firearms YAY:banana: Cool beans. 19th works for me.

Diversity in Spokane is .....well....there isn't any..there really isn't. Diversity comes in the form of who will you see throwing a sign today, begging for money at a stop light and the age old question of, 'Is it a meth head or a crack head'?... I cringe sometimes at the billboards advocating XYZ around here. I'm shocked easily by dogmatisim. There is an arts scene but you've got to look for it....lot's of local artists and artisans (incl' wine/beer/cheeses etc). A lot of people say there's nothing to do here but I've got IceSkating, Go Karting, wildwalls rock climbing, paintballing, independent cinema's, shooting/archery ranges, several concert and theater venues etc etc...and that's all before you take a look at any of the Parks within a short drive. A local bar to me is a great bar but the next bar down the road everyone looks at you like they want to stab you and @$ your girl or stab your girl and...there's a lot of good and bad here. I've heard people say Seattle has a much hipper vibe though. No doubt. But cost of living here does seem cheap. We also have pull n save and a pick n pull. Most of the restaruants I've been to seriously suck...but we have the Rocket bakery and coffee shops that are great. We've an REI outdoor shop, awesome place.... More pawn shops than could ever make sense and a bikini expresso drive thru!!! Cost of housing is even cheaper up in Deer Park.. an easy 20 min drive north of Spokane.

Sunday/Monday works better for me too. The tequila can stay at home.... What about firearms and explosives? The lil' red Suby should be all shiny with new paint by the 18th so it'll be a Christening taking him out into the muddy woods.

oh if this turns into camping I'd rather know before hand so I can bring tequila, firewood and food.

rather a Sunday then for me. If we do camp we can do valve jobs in the morning for anyone who brought gaskets...and a drain pan incase of oil... Of course we can also make morning breakfast bread and pancakes... Expecting cries of, "Bacon, Bacon, Bacon"...... I'm up for all of it..but I have work scheduling to work around..

Mid june is right around the corner...so lets keep the ball rolling...
