I wonder how many of us are playing in the garage today due to snow.

I was playing in the snow with my wife and doing donuts and drifting around in my truck!

Nice Rich!

I wish I had a garage to work on the teener ... the snow just blows through my carport!

I just need to get off my a$$ and finish the carport/garage conversion.

Cheers,

Eddie

Cold in my garage 24 degrees. I gave up on trying to keep it

above 40 degrees with the kerosene heater. 16 outside and the

wind is blowing out of the North 25 - 35 MPH. I'm just adding

firewood to the stove and keeping the house warm.

20hr work days 6 hours of sleep in 48 hours, one meal....

That doesn't sound like a good job, maybe you better look for a new one

thats just the way is with storms [wind,rain,snow]

I did a small bit of playing in the garage. . . But all my tools are 20 miles away at my shop on the top of a hill

It's crazy; on snowy days I can get all but literally 50 yards from my shop since the road it's on steepens in the incline just before my business park. If I loose momentum, I can't make it and there's no place to park since it's an off-ramp from the hwy So I turn around and go 20 miles back home. . . Oh well, at least we don't get snow often.

For Sale full size Ford Bronco 4X4 runs don't look good anymore goes up hills

How is it going down hills?

Ill trade ya

I've been happy to have moved to the desk job than on the street these last 48 hours!

i feel for ya brother,

not so much complaining as can't believe i live through some of what i got to do.

from the dumb ass drivers that shouldn't be on the road on a good day to some of the hazards that if i don't pay attention i'd be taking the permanent nap.

Horn works

I hear ya. I put about 35k on the company car each year right in the middle of Doomas-opalus. I have seen cars in full lockup, faseing the wrong way on the I5 in seattle because someone had to come to a full stop to merge over to 520.

Anyway, there is a 914-svx project on the seattle C/L. anyone here?

That sounds really familiar.

Hmm maybe some parts for me. I will go look.

I'm in, can make it to anyplace on the eastside, like Issaquah or Kirkland. In winter have a standing tennis apointment I have to make with work guys until 6:30, but that should open up in warmer months.

Hey sanddog, welcome to the madness. I live right on the Renton/Newcastle border, so we're neighbors. Let me know if you need anything.

Renton is lower class than Newcastle. Know your spot!

yesterday, ankle deep. Today, calf deep and drifting... not the fun driving around scaring the crap out of the other drivers drifting, but the blowing snow drifting...
At least I got the trash out....

No its not me. I was thinking of going to see it. If rebuilt engine it may save me some time and coin??
Getting the iner longs welded in wile the weather is snowy.

So after snow, tuesday?

Took a day longer to get here, but the snow finally hit. About 14" total where I'm at. When I'm not clearing the driveway, I'm in the shop:)

I'll be in Seattle Wed-Fri next week. Wife sold her Volvo and is sending me to pick up a Land Rover. Anyone up for a beer Wednesday night? Could do Thursday too, but I'll be stuck near Factoria that night.

If you're able to make it up to the Lynnwood area there is a killer hole in the wall brewery called Big E Brewery. I'm up for that on Wednesday

Snow + Teener =

It's a whopping 11 miles from where I'm picking up the truck. Even in Seattle traffic, I think I can make it. What time's good for you?

Jon, Wednesday sounds good to me to. put up the address. I will work it out.

I'm showing it's right here http://maps.google.com/maps?client=ubuntu&...mp;ved=0CBYQ_BI

Until Mr. B tells me otherwise, that's my drinking hole Wednesday night!

i'm in

WOOT!

I've missed you man. 300 miles and like 6 months away...

I'm up for that as well. This will be a nice departure from the ol' routine as of late!! Looking forward to seeing everyone.

BIG E's it is wed. night. I got it before it happened sweet!

Time? or should i just start drinking at noon and wait to see what happens?

jcl

Ok, I hit the ground in STL about noonish, add 2 hours for the taxi an buying the truck/driving to said trough. Now that I think of it, I gotta hit Campbell Nelson as I needs some farked up parts. That puts me at the trough at about 4ish?

I really need another bag of refractory and my favorite supplier is in south Seattle but it can wait until Thursday morning.

Wednesday sounds good, I plan to come, which time??

Damnit, someone's gotta pick a time. Hey Jon, it's your home terf, whatdya think?

Reminds me, anyone know a nice cheep hotel up that area? I really don't feel like driving much by the time we part company.

i'm off work at 4 can be there 'bout 5ish, and there are a bunch of hotels in the alderwood mall and lynnwood area.... just don't try one on hwy 99!

Dude I swear I never stay logged on enough or Pay attention enough to know what's going on in my neighborhood with teener people none the less. I vow to start paying better attention for my own sake

where the hell have you been!

Dude Troy I have been knee deep in taking care of old people. And working on the car, and helping the old folks find a new vehicle other than the f-550. Count me in on the drinking, we starting at five? On wednesday? I got an iPhone 4 with no service so I can stalk all you guys at home on my wifi.... Damn AT&T

And I also switched over to megasquirt2 (big thanks to the very nice DNHunt!)
And am currently changing radiator placement and going back to stock engine lid. And thinking about some more fiberglass experimenting.

Doing some glass work myself tomorrow. Give me a ring.

I'll be there around 6:00ish. Save me a spot.

Count me and Julie in!

5 at Big E works for me. Just an FYI to those who have not been there before. It is a hidden gem in the middle of industrial. Amazing beer though.

If you want to stay near by there is a few nice hotels just North. One is the Quality inn right off 44th.

I'm in! (wait, maybe I should go back and actually read what the plan is.... who am I kidding, I'm in regardless )

Hey, it'd be great to meet you, anacortes area is my old stomping grounds, and I've been meaning to come up to your shop to check it, and your porschewagon, out!

Chris

In Newcastle they think a 914 is a real Porsche. Here in lower class Renton we know the truth.
