If I can start the weekend before with the motor on the floor and almost make it, you can easily be ready in 13 weeks!

Robot: Go over to H-D and buy a space heater for the garage. Assuming you don't have a friend/neighbor that you can borrow from.

I should be in Rogersville Tn right about SITM time. If the schedule gets firmed up more I'll get my name on a room list. I thonk I have enough hotel points to kick the President out, but don't want to spoil others' holidays by grabbing now and cancelling later. There was some discussion after last SITM about condo's at the ski area. Anybody followed up on that option? A bit of a distance to stagger home after the BW revelry, but maybe bigger/better digs especially for those bringing more family.

But you kept telling me how that cold weather did not bother you folks crazy enough to live someplace where summer it three days long.

Get your Yankee slacker butt out in the garage and do it.

One more pass on ride height adjustment, a wheel alignment, and replacing the front spoiler. Then I'm good to go...

Let’s see I have 1 ball joint boot, 2 shock coil assemblies, 4 calipers and an alignment to get her rolling.

Then 1 WBO2, 2 PEMS, 8 42# injectors, and a bunch of ST2 work to really get her moving.

Oh yeah, new Dash LEDs (if I want to see at night), replace window rubber (not totally necessary), new hatch receiver, and unplug the A/C evaporator drain (if I want dry feet while running defrost in the rain).

Spring isn't quite here yet, so I'll give it a rest for a few more weeks. How many weekends do we really have left?

Well I got a reservation at the Smoke Tree Lodge . I`m 12th on the list for the Best Western. Is anyone else staying at the Smoke Tree?

Greg, those are a glorious three days!!! You're right, you're right. I've gotta change my front wheel bearings, so the next time I get the house to myself, so my wife doesn't see me use the oven...

I have been caught using a fry daddy, but just once, after that I had my very own and she had a new one.

But try a heat gun on them if you have one, I stole Uncle Mitch's Bosch and it works very well.

If there are some GA 928's going up on the Friday after around 12pm lets see if we can get a little group going up. Looking forward to the drive and event!

I've just got to wash it and drive. Spend $15k after getting my car to get it right so I'm ahead on maintenance. Here's a pointer guys, always make your reservation for next year when you check out this year.

If it is a gas unit, sure, just clean all the stuff you have stored in it and use it on low, not sure I would try it with a charcoal one.

All you are trying to do is get it to around 250 or so to make it easier to put the bearings in.
