Uh oh, I did something stupid yet so great at the same time. I say stupid because it was $$$$$, but my runner may take on an entirely new look in the next few days! Im hoping it will all be done by friday... Anyone want some BFG 31x10.50x15 AT KO's? $400 OBO, about 90% tread left... I will post that on for sale board.

Oh yeah baby!! I got a pretty good price on everything and we are going to try installing it on base. I just hope it doesn't need any driveshaft mods...

Alright, so Im just making sure everything is still on for meeting up at Starbucks tomorrow afternoon... Things are lookin good on my part, Im hoping to get it home this afternoon so I can pack up and all that stuff.
I dont have a lantern, is there anything else we may need? What about firewood and that sort of thing? Im thinkin it might be a little wet up there, so having dry wood might be good. Let me know if there is anything I can get.

Sweet! I will probably sleep in my runner too, it can be damn comfortable in there, especially if its just me. Food will probably be those dehydrated ones, and if I can find some MRE's I might bring some of those. I usually end up bringing more than enough food. Plenty of water is good too.

GapGuy - Bummer, maybe next time!
Tofer - A lantern would be nice.... I've got a couple battery powered lanterns but their light output sucks. Let me know if you want me to bring 1 or 2 of them.
Sbrut - My buddy Patrick is coming and he doesn't get off work until 4:30pm. My g/f is going to meet us in Walnut Creek rather than me picking her up. Why don't you just meet me at my house? Do you remember where it was?

Yeah, traffic is going to suck but we can go on some backroads and then get to Sac by way of the Antioch Bridge. I'll be home around 2pm, so any time between then and 5pm. If you want to tune the antenna leave an extra 30 minutes or so.

Last time we gather some wood from a quarry that shut down but it will be wet this time. Maybe we can each buy one box of hardwood? Unless someone has some at their house that we can use.
Chris, Do you want to meet Sbrut and myself in Antioch near the bridge and caravan?
