BTW, the GM MAF conversion went over without a hitch!

Congrats on the new job!!

Thanks... Yeah I want to avoid rush hour traffic for sure. When I was in Cali my plane landed and I got my rental car in rush house traffic. It was bumper to bumper not moving for hours. I wanted to die so bad. lol... So I definitely don't want to see that kind of traffic in Chicago, especially with the DSM...

So what do you think we should do? Leave way early like 7:30am or wait it out till like noonish and then leave? Either way I think my entire trip will have to be shortened to Sunday instead of Wednesday like I originally planned... I won't know for sure yet until I actually talk to my new boss again.

I'd say 7:30 or early afternoon like 1 or 2. It would be cool to go out when we get there, but it doesn't matter to me.

So what time Friday will you guys be in Minneapolis? I should figure out if I want to take a half day and let work know, I might visit some friends that day too so I should plan.

If we do end up working on cars someone should bring some tools too. I can throw my little set in, but most mechanics would probably want a little more.

I kinda want to address the firewood issue too. If we just buy the $4 bundles of pine splinters they call firewood, we're going to burn through like 20 bundles over the weekend. Though I know its not technically legal, we're going to need to sneak some decent firewood in. Oak burns hot and long, if anyone close has some or can get some, that would be ideal. I mean we should get a few bundles of their shit as it does a good job of starting the fire, but we need a little more sustainance. Anyone happen to have any?

Nope, no firewood. Dave = city boy

We'll figure out when we're going to be leaving sometime this week. Still haven't called Brian or anything... much easier than constant posts. lol

Blackcrow64 · #**170** 06-28-2008, 03:54 PM

I don't have any firewood either... Hmmm...

i have some wood, we cut down a tree a while ago so i can ask my uncle about it, i dont think he is gonna use it.

Thor06 · #**172** 06-28-2008, 09:58 PM

I talked to my dad, he does have some spare oak firewood laying around that we could probably jack.

I am getting pretty pumped for this guys, iTz GoIn 2 B mAdD tYtE lYk FaSt An Da FeErIuSZ yO!!1!! !

I read three pages back and three pages forward in the thread before I decided just to ask when/where you guys have all this planned?

Thor06 · #**174** 06-29-2008, 01:35 AM

Some of us will be there on the 25th of July, but it "officially" starts on the 26th and ends the 27th.

JScharF · #**175** 06-29-2008, 01:47 PM

Ahh dang, I'll be in Milwaukee those days

Blackcrow64 · #**176** 07-04-2008, 01:38 PM

Ok... So bad news... I don't know if I'll still be able to come because of starting my new job that week. I won't know until that Monday whether or not this new boss will let me have my time off for the meet still. I wish my old boss would have held onto me until after the meet.

So right now it is up in the air for me... Cross your fingers that I still get the time off with this new job...

david-b · #**177** 07-05-2008, 05:57 PM

So that means Brian isn't coming. Honestly, I'm not holding my breath on this one. You should tell your new boss that vacation blah blah blah like you said you were going to. Then make it happen.

Yeah I know. But I also don't want to blow this job either dude. I can't exactly start for a few days and then demand off like 4 days straight when I haven't even started yet. I mean, I'm going to try to get off for it still, but I'm not going to push the issue if he says no either... I didn't exactly plan on switching jobs amidst the meet... You know how bad I need this experience on my resume man. If not, I'll be right back to mopping floors making shit money and that is definitely not what I want to have happen...

Thor06 · #**179** 07-06-2008, 06:39 AM

Brian, you sand bagging mother fucker!! Naw, I understand. You should definately check it out with the new boss though man and use some strong words, it would suck ass if you got fucked like that.

david-b · #**180** 07-10-2008, 02:36 PM

I just reserved camp site 1 at the park so we're good for those 2 nights.

Comes out to $90 for both nights. She said all the rest of the prices really quick so I'm not sure what she said but I think I'm getting a packet or something with prices on parking permits and all. It think that was $5 a day or something.

It's a 50-100 yard hike to the camp from the parking lot so we have to walk a little. I call the beer!!!!!

So now I'm excited.
