I'll be there. The wife thinks that all we think of is food and crusiers.

Dont forget about the booze and the womens and explosions.
when i saw Thorton's post i thought: "well, if it'll help, we can get a stripper"
Yes, that's the one! We'll park out front so you can see us. The entrance is off a side road that connects to 234/Dumfries Rd. near an Italian restaurant just north of the underpass.
See you around 7:30

February Tech Day images
Many thanks again to the IPOR crew for hosting the February CLCC Tech Day. Here are some photos I made:
First, we mingled in the parking lot, checking one another's rigs. There were a couple of new guys--Parker with a LX470, and Fernando with his FJZ80.
Then Woody arrived with the TLCA Raffle Truck!
Shortly afterwards, we moved into the office and BS'd some more while Cam and Vince got parts and stuff squared-away. We had the opportunity to chat with Woody about his IH8MUD adventures and recent travels.
Once in the shop, Vince gave us the "how-to" on valve adjustments. Here, Vince listens to a member describing how he remembers the firing sequence of 1-5-3-6-2-4. We'll never forget now!
Once the valve cover was removed, and the #1 cylinder set at TDC, we each got to feel the gauge. (Note: this is not cylinder #1--I guess this photo was taken later in the process)
After making the correct adjustment, Sam tightens the lock nut while holding the adjustment screw steady.
Sam double-checks the adjustment. This is where he gained the new nick-name--"The Feeler".

Big thanks to Tom and the guys at IPOR for getting our tech days rolling.
Was cool to meet Woody and great to see some new faces in the club.
The raffle truck certainly looks worth restoring too!
