Kiddo & I will be there! I'll have to throw something in the crockpot, I just don't know what yet.

Cool, MMMmmm!!!

Way to early dude. I don't get off work until gone 6. I could make it by 7:30, but you guys would be pretty much done with meeting stuff by then.

We'll fill you in, no problem. I just wanted to get meeting stuff out of the way before partying and I'll let my friends know to come a bit after we should be done with the meeting.

why not just make it poker night?

Because then Mark the Shark, our WSOP representative, would show up and take us to the cleaners......

woohooo, i'd be down to meet up, might show around 7ish cause the wifey doesn't get off till around 6ish

That sounds like an excellent idea, I'll be game for an all nighter if need be. You'll have to supply the game stuff and the Knob though!

Lindsey and I will be there.

I'm not much of a card player, but I can always entertain the kids or hang in the kitchen with the womenfolk.

I guess it would be considered a great room and I'd watch those stereotypes.

I will be there.

Shan Kae and I should be there. If anyone wants to play poker I have chips and poker tables and stuff if anyone wants to play. We'll bring...cornbread?

Hey Adam, I still have those tie rods ends to install. You have a Sat morning free anytime to help?

Mark

MMMmmm I love cornbread!

Saturday Morning is cool, even tomorrow is good. Call me to schedule.

Xterra's only or are other vehicles welcome?

Depends on what you're bringing to eat! Nah, feel free to drop by, even if only you want to stay for the meeting.

Have we met? I recognize your handle from somewhere.

BTW - You SWANKY Were invited too. I forgot to mention that.

You do tie rod ends! Hmmmmmmmm. Ever done one on a 4Runner? I'd imagine they were all very similar. DO you need a special tool to separate the joint? Might need your mechanical knowledge on the 4Runner as I managed to screw up a tie rod end while trying to get clearance to change out the half shafts.

Will involve cash if interested! When the weather cools off a little.

Cash, Hell that's almost as good as beer! I'd help you get them off to replace them if you want, but do you feel you can make it all the way out here with that rig yet?

I can also help if needed (tie rods)

I guess that means I'm doing beans & ham hocks.

Thanks for helping me make up my mind.

Emailed ya Adam.

Are you trying to make it 2wd? I assume you have the axles out of the Diff and can't get them out of the Hubs?

Start a new thread and post a pic so I can figure out what cha talk'n about willis!

Uh Oh, Here I am actually posting? Hey, I'd love to be there with Anaïs and Delta(fat chance). See Ya.

My son and I will be there on the 7th. Anyone made claims as to what they're bringing yet, so I don't bring a duplicate dish?

What'cha thinking about bringing? I'll put together a list and put it in the first post so we don't duplicate dishes and get into a competition like the Chili.

Done! Did I miss anyone?

Ty, are you and Bren gonna make it?

Any Swanky Crew? Andy? Allan? Marshall? Steve?

Were you coming Tomas?

Finally took the time to update the Website.

Oh and ya, mysteriously the Gallery started working all by itself after about a year and a half or more, so If you want a login (everyone that had one before is still active), just email/PM, etc. and I'll set you up. I found out about a week ago when I was just looking at other links when XOC had gone down temporarily.

Gallery

Unfortunately, Bren and I will pretty much be ghosts from any and all events for a while. HUGE changes the last month.
the morning we left to meet y'all for Fat Tire, Bren's job was......eliminated. So when we got back, we decided she could do it without the architect she was with, and we started our own company with two of the guys she had been working with:
IndigoFox

Meanwhile, I have been an overtime whore on the Ambulance to keep the bills paid til the biz makes some $$.
Add to that the fact I start the Fire Academy with City of Surprise in October, and I have zero free time for a while.

Sorry to hear about the situation, but it sounds like you both have a solid plan to deal with it.

Take care and be sure to get some sleep from time to time.

He sleeps at work. LOL.

Every chance I get....I feel a nap coming on now...

Told ya.

Awesome news on the creation of your own company. If you need any help - Web Design, Internet Marketing - anything web related. Let me know.

Hope to have my own start up off the ground this time next year, making some good money right now, but not quite enough to quit the day job yet.

Roger, I will be taking you up on your web expertise and internet marketing offer my friend. Our website is very basic atm, and I know Bren has some ideas she wants to build into it. Since our account is with godaddy anyway, ...........

Hey Adam i will bring homemade mac-salad. Would it be ok if i bring my roomates with..... we will bring some meat for the grill also . Thanks
Waldo/onix

Sure bring your friends, Mmm Mac-salad.

We got the potato salad.

Ooops! Didn't see this whole RSVP thing here! I'll be able to come, is there anything else that I should bring?

Glad you are gonna make it.

It is a pot-luck/BBQ so just bring your favorite main/side dish or dessert so we can all gorge ourselves on it!

X2

I'm bringing some styro plates, bowls, cups & silverware too.

Cool Thanks!

I'll bring some cold sides. Vegetables and dip, cheeses and meat rolls, maybe some fruit.

Thanks Georgie, I was going to get some tonight, so now I don't have too.

Everyone.
I'm going to have a cooler full of ice, so you don't need to have to bring one, just the can's bottles, etc.

I don't have enough chairs to go around, I didn't think about it until last night. You may want to bring a seat for your butt. I'm going to try and borrow some from our Cafe at work, but it'll be last minute.

I have a bunch of folding chairs. I'll bring 10 or so. If we need more let me know.

Mark

Cool Mark! Bring 10 and I'll grab 10 from work and that should be plenty.
Thanks!

I hope you guys are hungry, I bought a lot of food last night.

I'll be bringing club funds etc. Maybe we can vote to reimburse you for some of that grub.

I will second that idear.

Nope, not needed, this one is our treat to the club and our friends.

crap , to bad im on call otherwise id love to meet the rest of the group

Well I'm still at work and will be here until at least 8. So you guys aren't gonna get any chips it seems

One day I'll actually make a meeting.

Linda and I would like to thank Adam and Joanie for their hospitality. We had a great time and it was seeing people that we hadn't seen in a awhile.
