That'll be nice for me since I'll be at school then and I'll probably be going to a few of the races anyway.

Well, we are quickly approaching September, so a decision needs to be made if we are going to shoot for the next meeting to be in Sept, or wait till later. I realize that we are coming into harvest season, so that is another factor to consider, as I am sure we have some farm operators on here by now. Early Sept is usually better for them as well. I can remember plenty of Halloweens out in the fields. So do we go for a night a t the races, or the Civil war Reenactment, or...

Anyways I have a race on the 5th so couldn't make the boone thing on sunday, the next weekend I think there is a race but not sure yet, but my wifes daughters have a wedding shower going on sept 11 so if no racing then any excuse to get out of here works for me.
Lets hear from others about what days do, and don't work.

Meetings,
Experience has taught me that you can't please all the people all the time. It usually works the best if we pick a weekend and make it the same time every month. Doing so will allow everyone to plan ahead for the date rather than having it jump around each month.
Typically, Saturdays work better in the winter and Sundays in Summer. Who wants to go to meetings during Green Bay Packer Football!?! Not me!
Moving it around the State on a rotation is also a good thing. Cedar Rapids one month, Des Moines another etc. That way everyone gets a change to have one close to them and/or host the barbeque! (I like Sirloin and Iowa Chops if anyone is taking orders. --grin--)
There, stuck my foot in the fire and I'll volunteer to host the October meet in Cedar Falls. I have a Lift in the garage should anyone want to do simple maintenance stuff and a big screen TV and BBQ on the deck.
Cheers!
John

I AM all for going to where there is a lift in the garage lol ! although i have a pit in the garage i use right now, there is nothing like having a lift lol. i need to change my trans rear seal and pan gasket and filter and anything else. do you have a torch ? i wouldnt mind changing shocks too lol. i think we should try and go places where we can all tinker on trucks togather, nothing maor like rebuilding a engine in a day but maybe someone needs help pulling a engine or swapping out something or even a big sand down and primer party. something where everyone gets involved with helping other people insteasd of just sitting around talking about this and that lets get our hands dirty, and we can always have the BBQ going and the beer or whatver on ice.
