I didn't see it mentioned anywhere but can I assume Friday night is casual and Saturday is formal, as usual?
See you guys Friday!

Dad is packed up and ready to make the trip.... Well, at least some of him is 
Justin,
I never met your dad, from what I have read, I missed out on knowing a really great guy. Look forward to meeting you.
Everyone have a safe trip! 
We had a very nice drive getting to Ridgway. The town has a nice head shop, and a good supply in the smoke shops.
Time to relax.

Hope you get it up and running would be great to see you caravan with us to Ridgeway. Good Luck
Thanks, Fighting this one till the end and I still hope to make it. I probably wont finish everything I wanted to get done but did manage to address the problems that came up.
Got the d-jet working again. My MPS had decided it no longer wanted to hold vacuum. also found the harness side connector for my head temp sensor was just about broken off. Fixed both issues but my spare MPS is less than perfect (slight leak). going to see if I can borrow one from another local guy so I have a spare for the trip.
I think we have Bronze bushings here...
I had a set of bronze ones on my shelf, back in the car and good to go.
Scott had a spare unmolested 049 MPS from his no longer used 1.7 that I am borrowing for the weekend. I my only 1.7 spare was an 041 that looks to have been rebuilt, works but is noticeably lean under light throttle, the 049 is nice and smooth so ill drive on that one and bring the 041 as my backup given both of them seem to have very minor leaks.
As it stands right now im looking good to go.

8:30 is about 2 hours before I usually open my eyes in the morning, but yes, going to try and be there. Packing the car and getting the coffee machine ready now.
Made it to SLC. Much closer now
I made it to So Cal, much further now. 
Sharon,
I noticed the lunch time on Friday at Bent Elbow was 12:30. If you leave Ridgway at 10:00am it is a one hour drive (34 miles) to Silverton. That puts you there at 11:00am.
Is lunch at 12:30 firm? The reason I am asking is to coordinate my departure with Jim from Durango.
Thanks!

I'm possibly interested in joining the caravan.. I'm in Cortez tonight, I was going to go up 145 but I could modify that and do 550. When were you guys planning on leaving?

Justin - we are still trying to figure that out. We just want to arrive in Silverton by lunch and meet the gang there. I love that drive along 145.

Looking at the map, it looks like 550 is my only real choice. Let me know what you come up with and I'll try to make it.

Do you want to meet the group in Ridgway and make the drive to Silverton with them and hang out in town before lunch?
Great weather, gonna be top-off driving weather; got sunscreen ?

No kidding on sunscreen. The sun here is intense, you will burn much faster than at sea level.
BTW - Happy Birthday Ernie!
When do you guys expect to be back to the hotel after the Friday drive? No need for us to rush up there to an empty hotel if you guys are gone all day.

Well....if you drive through Durango and up through Silverton, don't you think you would notice 20 914's cruising around? I doubt they would be part of a different group.

It is the best hour of the entire drive - but I am prejudiced.
I bet we'd be back in Ridgway by 3 or 4.

Quick question on oil temps.. what's normal for the 2.7 and when should I start to worry?

210
From Pelican:
180-210 is the proper range; 130 is too cool to dissipate water etc in the oil. 220-230 every now and then is fine; 250 isn't. Engine life drops quickly when oil temps consistently exceed 210.
I agree that 210 is optimal, but being a 2.7 I'm betting you will see 230 on the highway.
If it climbs up to 250 on sustained grades and then drops back into the 220-30 area that is what I would call normal for a 2.7 with no external cooler.

SLITS car would occasionally get up to 2:50 if Running In the Heat of the day and on grades. It would usually drop down. But sometimes we would pull over and let it cool down for a bit.

In your belly to hydrate in preparation to the punishment your body will receive in the next couple days.
