what are the projects? and how can I help? I do have some rims that need cleaned up but wasn't sure what Craig has in the way of a blast cabinet. I don't want to bring a lot to do but will help others as well. My project is pretty content where it sits in the garage so I am Definately not bringing it.
 
Looks like I am out for this weekend. Wife is headed out of town, so the kids and I have the place to ourselves. Maybe have them help me pull the front axle out of "Foo" (the new 80 series project). Yep, already got a name for him after the music that inspires us to keep working....
Foo Fighters?
 
Do you wear a FOO Man Chu while listening to the Foo Fighters while working on Foo?
 
I'm not a "pretender". For "all my life " in "times like these", I think you have to "breakout" of the norm, and "walk" down the path less taken and be that "hero" that is needed "these days".

Yes, I have a mancrush on David Grohl.

Yes, 8 year old daughter can name most Foo Fighters songs after the first 5 notes.

I live my life to the beat of a different drum, and music is ever present. Foo has helped me in some dark times, and helps motivate me to keep going.

This project is going to be a huge undertaking, spanning multiple years, so I am hoping that naming it Foo, will help it overcome adversity and see it through to the finish.
 
They are a great band, I just wanted to say Foo three times in a post!! Only Dave Grohl could be "Animal" in the recent Muppets movie - thought that was awesome :)
 
Anyone planning to be there that's any good at tuning carbs? I royally messed up the last one I tried to do and right now I'm still running. So if left to my own devices I wouldn't touch it. But with all you experts on hand I might give it a shot.

I haven't cleared it with the wife yet, but the calendar only shows one girls soccer game later in the afternoon.
 
Is this an entire weekend or just Saturday? And how exclusive is it? I'm not a club member but would like to get to know some of you, learn and help and consider joining.
 
Well, work got in the way and we had to cancel our Cruise Moab trip at the last minute.....

Upside, I can do the wrench weekend after all! I've ordered my front axle rebuilt bits and am looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

i'm not in charge of this shindig but can't meet people till ya show up :) So I'd say bring it.
Who's in charge, we need start location and time.
 
To join our club, better hit up the bank account, take out the second mortgage, and steal from the family change container. That's right bring a BIG $10 doller bill. That's all it takes. With this comes the nice 25% off at Molle, so if you buy a $40 item at Molle it pays for itself.

Well there was the hazing process that I went through last year . . .


I do want to stop by if at all possible and just help/watch. I just started a new job, though, and its kinda crazy around our house, trying to prep a home office, etc.


I did just get in some new front coilovers that FlatlandTRD (Jason) found for me on here :)


PS: Hazing = Kelly made me drink his home brew and from kegs of high quality alternative hopped products.
 
Anyone need anything? You have about 20 min to post up.
 
Im running late but will be on way soon. This weekend off thing messes me up.
 
Great time. Small group thanks to those that came by and great lunch!

Small group, but many thanks to Craig for hosting and Erik for his advice. It was a 1 to 1 student teacher ratio.
