I don't have the big bottles but they aren't the little ones either.

I have some Captain that I am bringing.

I have a good hose set. I can bring the bottles too but if yours have gas in them I would rather haul the smaller bottles than the bigger ones. Either way is fine for me though.

I can bring my bottles Chris and I will bring my creeper in case Dale shows up for a nap.

It depends on what time Mike wants people there Chris. We can caravan. If Michael sees this he may want to join in also.

I'm comfortable with carvaning or not. If we caravan, I'll just need to get my **** out of bed in time to make it. I'm about 2 hours from the north side of the cities without traffic.

Just need to know what time and where to meet.

I figure this will save me around $300+ including the cost of Diesel to get up and back.


My list has grown, but nothing significant. I need to do some shopping tomorrow for the little stuff. A/C parts came in Tue/Wed. Are the little 1lb. bottles of R134A from Autozone good enough to do a recharge once we're done putting it back together or should I be looking for something else? IIRC it takes about 3 lbs.

I just use the cans of R134a from the store. Don't get the stuff with leak stop or any crap like that. I will grab my gauge set, vacuum pump, thermometer, o-ring picks and the R134a leak detector. Hopefully Mike's air compressor is decently sized.

I've got some creepers to bring, plus a few tools and so on...

I may go up Friday night, but I've not firmed that up yet. Otherwise for the sake of the project, we should get there early.

We'll keep a creeper warm for you.

Anytime after 7 is fine by me.

I have a 60 gallon 7 HP compressor, should be enough for most anything we need to do.

Chris if you are referring to the oxy/acelylene that would be a no. I just have bad hoses. I don't have a good cutting torch though if you have that just in case. I have a full set of other tips though. I will bring my cutting torch head. You guys will get a good laugh.

7ish works fine for me. For anyone interested let me know about caravaning and we can arrange a meeting place (Chris, Michael,Dave, Dale).

I could potentially caravan around 7, but I don't think I could get my butt out of bed in time to be in WI by 7. It's about 3 hours one way for me.

I've got the address, so I'll just steal the wife's GPS for a day.
