SPRING MEETING - April 12th

[Sporin]

Hey gang.

So we'd like to have everyone there by 11am to start the formal proceedings. Tedd and I will be there much earlier getting setup so feel free to roll in early if you like.

Lane will be bringing some of his famous Chili. Sheri Becker is bringing cupcakes. We'll be grilling burgers and dogs with sodas, chips, etc.

You'll get to see the Cruiser Solutions workshops pick Tedd and his Crews' brains about your projects. Another BIG thanks to Tedd for opening up his shop to us!!

Below is a rough agenda, I'll put some finishing touches on it tonight most likely but it gives you and idea of what we'll be discussing.

I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone after such a long winter. Drive safe!

Just don't call a "rear crossmember" a "bumper" in front of Tedd.

 

[Gilead]

That is corret. Rear Crossmember...not a bumper. See you all soon....

 

[rblank]

I wish I could blow it off, but I'm swamped. I don't usually work extra time, but it'll only make my job easier in the long run.

Have fun.

 

[LCCRUISER]

I'll be coming down from Concord, NH area. If anyone anyone wants to meet at my house in Bow or the park and ride at exit 2 or the other one at the end of I-89 on Route 3-A near Grappone Toyota, you are welcome to ride down with me (unless more than 4 of you take me up on that offer and those that do are unwilling to be strapped across the hood).

I checked out the Chester Turnpike today that I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread and its closed at the Allenstown end, so that wheeling option is out. Since we probably won't be wheeling and the weather isn't going to be nice, I'm leaving the 40 in the garage and will have passenger room other than the top of a spare tire. I will be bringing my recently acquired FJ62 with my half assed unfinished $50 ace paint job made famous here on IH8MUD. (I've got about 5 coats and more wet sanding to go, the rain should only make it look better.) BTW, I'll sell the truck as is with the remaining 1/2 a quart of the beautiful Toyota Royal Blue paint for $1750. It's a good runner for the $$$ with lots of upside. Email me by 9 or so tomorrow. My busride leaves the Concord area about 10. LC

 

[green40]

Well, I had a good time!
Thanks for having us over Ted! Great shop! I'm trying to talk Bette into
a new shop here now!
The Toyota Trail team was there with goodies and a nice Tech session after the
meeting.
Great job getting things organized Dave!
I'm looking forward to hitting the trails more often this summer with more of
our members.

Weather turned in our favor, lots of new faces.

 

[green40]

Nice rigs in attendance.

 

[40Flipper]

Bummed out I missed it. I was grumpy all day wishing I could have gone. Glad you guys had a great time.

 

[Sporin]

the whole family is sunburned... how did that happen??

Great time as always, BIG thanks to Tedd and Cruiser Solutions. BIG thanks to the Trail Team!

Thanks to everyone who came out.

 

[skyclark]

The lady friend and I had a great time and are glad we got to meet a bunch of you.
To put a face to the internet handle, I was the young guy in the plaid shirt and aviator glasses and the back half of Jen can be seen in one of the above photos.

I had a great time
I love Teds shop

 

[Scott Hatch]

Sorry I wasn't able to attend, laid up on my couch sick but there are several different projects on the works within NH and New England most importantly for Yankee Toys the 1200 acres in Swanzey.

 

[green40]

We talked quite a bit about the Swanzey property and are
pretty motivated to get working on it! (after it dries out some)

 

[landtank]

One of the common topics is always wheeling legally. I was talking with another member and we thought more scheduled legal runs would be the best way to combat this.

I'd like to start organizing some runs but am at a disadvantage as to where to go and there difficulty. As well as limiting the number of trucks for a particular trail. Lane had mentioned a place to look them up but I can't remember where that was.

If someone could help me out with a little guidance I'd like to start with a day trip in May and possibly 1 a month for the summer.

 

[hydrogeo]

Ditto on having a great time, and many thanks to all who organized the day. Also, x2 on the sunburn. I guess that's what we get for not seeing the sun for the last 4 months.

I'll be calling this week to touch base and set up a meeting, I know your schedule so I'll try and set something up for a Sunday.

Rick, are you refering to using the NEA properties on a more regular basis?

Wish I could have made it, sounds like it was a good time.

 

[landtank]

Rick, are you refering to using the NEA properties on a more regular basis?

not sure if I am but am willing to. I just don't know what's out there and only have heard names dropped.
