The thread I never thought I'd start...

How long does the Super Bloom last in Death Valley? Am I too late when I get out there March 22nd?

 

[NLXTACY]

With the new rains it may extend out a little

 

[LS1FJ40]

Sweet!

 

[LS1FJ40]

Less than a week! So exciting!! Can't wait! Ordered new DRIVE belts and will pick them up tomorrow. This is going to be fun.

 

[MDarius]

Bad news, I have to be in New York next week. My travel schedule changed.

 

[LS1FJ40]

Boooo @MDarius !

It's not overheating yet.

Just a matter of days until the HG thread starts.

Keep an eye in the west for this:

It'll get there. There is still the trip home next week. And any shenanigans that happen along the trip.

It's not overheating yet.

That won't happen until after I install the temp gauge.

There is already a plan in place.

If the HG goes the locked axles go under the 92.

But not counting on it. Just prepared. 93-94 HG are statistically less likely to fail than 95-97.

TWO DAYS!

I've got a suitcase full of miscellaneous Cruiser parts. I got parts being delivered to Joey's. Parts being delivered to @reevesci aka Jason aka Trail Tailor. I've got Wits' End stuff purchased. Damn exciting! I just hope I make it through security at the airport with a suitcase filled with wire, screws, ECU, switches...

Oh, and I packed an envelope of stickers to slap on the window. I can't be rolling naked across country. Plus, I'll add some more stickers form Wits' End, Cruiser Outfitters, and Trail Tailor if they have them...

Sent an email to Kurt aka @cruiseroutfit regarding some parts to pick up on the way home.

It's been a crazy past month at work. I'm ready for a little break!

You got a suitcase full of electronics and a beard. Not a good sign.

That's some funny, but true $H!T right there....

I'll be ready to finalize the R&D on the sliders when you get here and get the rack mounted up.

We're looking at the 24th tentatively, correct?

Just tell them you're making a clock like the infamous kid from Texas...you might be able to score $15 million and a visit to the White House out of the deal (probably best to decline the White House visit)...that's a lot of mods...

(apologies for going off topic/tech...that story is just infuriating.)

Enjoy your trip!

Saw what I think was your green machine in front of Joey's house while biking with my kids this morning. Looked like a really clean truck.

 

[MDarius]

Just strap the buttons and harnesses to your torso. I don't see a problem.

Actually, they probably will check it out. Just have it organized and it will be pretty painless. I carry excess electronics through security all the time. I'm on a first name basis with 2 of the screeners at JFK. In fact, I May or may not be carrying one of their unborn alien offspring.

Not as clean as my 60

 

[LS1FJ40]

I'm shaving tonight! Already planned it.

@reevesci yes. The 24th is when I should hit Green River.

Thanks @2KCruiser. I left it completely up to Joey to make sure it wasn't a POS. So it's all on him!

@MDarius yeah, I'll have it organized. Along with my two laptops, two cell phones, power supplies, etc. won't be suspicious at all...
