You can do it Scott.
We just got done working replacing my nephews CV axle on his Pathy. As you can tell by the time we worked on it real late as well. he he
Boy am I tired

Mike

 

Sorry guys, worked until 3am. I actually did get up somewhat early, 7am, but I looked out at that nasty rain and jsut couldn't bring myself to go out there and put my tires on. I finally got motivated at about 1030. I am (was) with you in spirit on this trip though! Hope y'all had fun in the mud and rain...and mud!

 

Anyone back yet...? I'm curious how the weather was down in that area today. It's been very windy/rainy along I-90.

Jim

What the hell was I saying. Boy I must have been too tired to type. It was about 2:30am when I wrote this.

Anyway to answer your question Jim. We were getting drenched. Wind gust at the lake had to be close to 40/50 mph it felt with snow on the ground. There were a few times that it calmed down. However Im still trying to thaw off my back side.
Oh did I mention it was colder than snot.

All said and done it was a really fun run. Wish you could have made it.

Mike

 

Cold/windy/wet...probably means there's hardly any pics...?

Bummer...but I'm glad you had a good time.

Jim

 

Yeah, there weren't anywhere near as many pics as folks are used to out of this crowd , but there are some (including a video!)... and some stores as well.

I'll get mine posted up later tonight.

...and I'll need some help with names and alias - I was shivering too much to pay a lot of attention to names. We had 9 trucks out... I remember:

David (Mad Chemist)
Mike (smr4runner)
Jowie
Ducky
MIDIWall +1
Jim (alias? 4x4wire moderator) +1
LA (alias?)
Scott (IndieFIRE) +2
"Dan"? (alias? Mr. SpareKey )

Sorry Folks...


It was dang cold today, but a lot of fun. It was cool to see the firsthand changes that a couple of inches of snow could make to the technical aspect of a trail.

 

Replacement serpentine belt = 50.00
Replacing lock on rear window of Tacoma after locking keys in your truck at air down area = 80 bucks
Replace bug shield on hood- 45 bucks

A great day of wheeling in crap weather, priceless!

 

Damn, somebody had a bad day out...

(on a side note...I always keep a spare key in my wallet for occasions like that...)

Jim

 

hahahaha what?

 

The conversation went something like this...

"Dan, where's your spare key?"
"In my wallet"
"Where's your wallet?"
"In the truck"

Yes... We all laughed.

 

[HomerSimpson] D'oh! [/HomerSimpson]:pat:

 

Pics are up!

http://www.midiwall.com/4Runner/dirt...03_Carbon.html

I'll probably add more commentary later... But you'll get the idea from what I have there.


As other folks post pics (and the movie!) I'll add their links to that page as well.

 

Actually, what David is drawing from are three different events that happened to... three different people!

 

ya know when they put that deflector on at the dealer I just knewit was going to get broke

 

It was a weird run with those things happening, but none of them proved to cause any serious trouble and added to the overall fun of the day. Mark exacted his revenge on the Carbonado stump, and other saw that our previous pictures don't do this stump any justice. I hope to get pictures up today. I don't know what to do with the video, since I don't have a website, I can't really "host" them. Anybody have any ideas?

 

Yea you can email them to me... I should be able to host it on wa4roc...

(Im redoing the site as we speak) prolley put a new forum software on since this one sucks.. but as with all free ones...nevermind.. im tired... lol...

opps forgot email addy... am@apl.washington.edu

size of files shouldnt matter... but we will see...

 

Hot damn dude, I didn't know you worked at the U! I'm over at Forestry, got the same meaningless job title as you. We'll have to meet up sometime for lunch.

 

Oh yea?... Im Deep in the bowels of the Applied Physics Lab... meaningless is especially true with all the crap going on here lateley... I could go on for hours... gotta love upper management....

... or not.

 

If you have trouble Ducky, I can host it on midiwall.

 

Actually if you wouldnt mind, that would be great, till I get the site back to normal, Ill end up putting it up on wa4rocs site, but not in a timely fashion... so please go ahead.
