I will go wherever I can park my jeep to sleep, drink, eat and have fun! Oh yeah, Rebuild a Transmission too! Is Griots garage around there?

Where are you located Crandel Clan? I'm kinda scared, It's like the roosters coming to the wolves den?

It's a 8+ hr. drive for me to Seattle!
Mr.242
I chatted with my bro 6Freak and he is celebrating his son's 18th Birthday tonite. He said he does have room to host and will have a location to have people around to talk a good story, bonfire, and lie.

He has lots of room for camp trailers, tents, etc. AND a couple teenage boys who would make perfect designated drivers if someone needed a ride to a hotel after some beer3.gif

Triad is a good location...might be lacking the bonfire story telling part.

But sounds like we got some TRANNY stuff happen'n for sure.

Where ever you do it, please make sure it has a fence. Need a place that those of us who can't decide if we want to rebuild or not can hang out. (get it? on the fence).

Seriously though, how many trannys can one expect to be able to do in a day?
montoya 73 2.0
One can be done on Saturday and one on Sunday! I've seen it and helped with it.

I think that'll work out since I thought you weren't allowed to attend public events anyway?

All my mental health workers requested transfers confused24.gif I don't get it. happy11.gif

The good news is....I'm in. I'll probably be bringing two boxes; one out of my car and the other is a reportedly good box that I'd been planning on putting in as is.

BTW Troy, I was gonna let you use the two-post lift I just put in, but now..... bootyshake.gif

Wow, dates look good so I can be a walk on to this....

No worries. I probably cant get it done on sunday as I will be driving home! next time I'm up there!

Having the date in the title, you expect me to be able to notice things like that?

Can I just bring the transmission I did last time. It's never been in the car, but I was too drunk to remember anything I did. I sure would like to learn something this time.

Hey anybody got one that you want me to assemble? Free labor here, I'll work for beer.....shit then I won't remember what I did

Is it a party where transmissions get rebuilt, or is is a place where transmissions get rebuilt and there is a party? confused24.gif
Mr.242
I've done my tranny.....so, I'll work on anothe topic..............I'll do BBQ
chowtime.gif

Will figure out attendance totals as the date gets closer.....dinner will be served.

Because if we eat at lunch no one will get any work done and the smell factory Dr. will not make it safe inside the garage. hissyfit.gif

It's always a party in the PNW son! Especially when the Doc is there!

I built my trans last clinic, but I will build another for my future project! screwy.gif

so i might have to bring down some marinated steak bites to nibble on [the guys that made it to Garrets get together had some... not as good as the bbq and atomic buffalo turds!]
championgt1
I don't have a box that needs rebuilt, but I will be there for the spectacle. beerchug.gif beer3.gif drunk.gif

Griots has a deal called caffiene and gasoline the first Saturday of every month. The 7th happens to be the first Saturday. In January they fired up a Mclaren F1 car. This month they are firing up a Mclaren can am car. It starts at 8am and goes until 10am. Just a heads up.

Dr Evil
Noel is coming with me so no 914 rides unless you have 2. I will be renting a car for the time so we can tour around. I plan on starting at 9am sharp on Sat. Depending on how Sat goes, Sun can be a little later.
Dr Evil
OK Tacoma-niacs, anyone have some frequent flier miles they want to trade for stuff?? I need to buy a ticket eventually wink.gif

I figured that the doc would want to start at 9am. He did (tryed) the same thing last clinic. wacko.gif bye1.gif

I've got some spare parts and some tools I can bring over including a 1st gear slider welded to a pipe and a coupe of big sockets. I can provide a bed in giggle. Maybe I'll see about some beer from the local brewery.

I don't think I'll have any projects but, it's great fun watching other people work and there is nothing better than watching other people sweat.

A bed in giggle? I would rather have a giggle in bed tongue.gif
