Razzi told me about this get together. I have PLENTY of work for my rig, but not enough $$$. Winter is coming... and I need to prepare. I am throwing all the codes for glow plugs, so I have a new GPCM and new glow plugs on hand to replace any that might be dead. Baring any work related issues, I have this booked in my calendar.

I hope to be able to cook for this event. I have most of my mods done at this time, however, I still need to crimp and solder my valve cover pig tales. But that can wait if necessary. I have plenty of pork, if no one is objectionable to that. I need sides, potatoes, vegetables, whatever. I can cook it, just need that to add to the meat I have.
It is still on, I do need to mow some grass down for everyone.

Great! I'm sure I could bring some veggies and the like.
I plan to throw the camper on the truck.
I am not sure what I need on my truck, but I'll research it and see if I can get parts.
Is beer allowed?

Do we have a head count on who's going to be there? I'm 75% sure I'll be out there on Friday-Sat or maybe just a quick pop in on Saturday. It kind of depends on my business. I don't have anything to do to my truck

So far the weekend is looking free. I should be able to make it on Saturday. Starting to plan what to pack.
1) Parts
2) some tools (not sure I have everything I need for the work to be done)
3) Some food side items
4) beverage of choice
Anything else?

Myself and Mr.Meeks will be heading out at 2:00 pm on Friday.
Talked to Ted this morning and I'll be bringing my compressor along since his is down along with my air tools.
I'll also bring along a few tools required for 7.3 maintenance so if there's something you've been putting off, now is the time.
I have tools for:
-Ball joints
-Tie rods
-Brakes
-Wheel bearings
-As well as engine work
All you have to do is buy the parts. So now is the time to get whatever maintenance you've been putting off, done.

Life is handing me too much to get away this weekend. Hope that I can get to see y'all at a later date. Have fun!

The get together was pretty well attended this time. We had one rig that glow plugs and glow plug module were replaced. One rig that was having new guages plumbed and installed missing one connection. And another rig that had mirrors replaced. And batteries were charged all around. Lots of food and beverage.
