The date has finally been set. October 17-18 we will be having a little GTG at Pete's in CT to install my injectors as well as a few other goodies. Rick and Roland will be coming in for the install. Anyone else that would like to come is more than welcome. We will be doing a few other projects on others trucks as well. There is a an inexpensive hotel close by that if we get enough people I will see if we can get a discount.

I am planning on doing a New England style clamboil for all that attend for dinner. For lunch a little Portuguese flair with Linguica and Chourico cooked on the grill.

Like I said all are welcome I just need to know who is coming so that I can plan the 2 meals.

This is going to be a really good time for all!!

 

Alright !!!! another GTG to look forward to, and I don't have to wait til next year!! I hope some of you left coasters can make it, it will be great to see you again.

 

You know how to cut a guy Jim............Linguica
You could always come out here and I'll put them in if you cook!

 

Fly on out for the weekend Jeff. Clay found some tickets very inexpensive too.

 

Alrighty then. Gotta get the weekend off from work. So no changing the date after tonight. I can bring the grill from home down there as well if we have any need for it.

So is there going to be any special tools required for anything? I can see what I can round up as far as everything goes. We're very limited on metric stuff so if we're going to be needing anything metric that you don't have let me know in advance. I can probably scrounge something up.

Well I'm hoping to see as many people there as possible!

Jim do you mind if I see if any CT chapter members want to come?

 

So where would be the closest place to fly in to?

 

You guys have a great time, wish I could make it up but no more vacation time till next year. Enjoy.

 

That is fine with me Pete. Like I said I need to know how many are coming for sure so that I can get the food.
That would be great Darrell!! Manchester CT is the airport IIRC

Cough Cough I think that you may be "ill" that weekend.

 

Bradley International Airport is the closest airport that will fly in anything commercial.

The shop is at #110 Barberry Road, East haven connecticut. You're going to say "Where the F does this kid have me going?" at least once before you get there.

If anyone is concerned about finding their way I can meet you guys at a filling station right off I-91 maybe 5 or 10 minutes from the shop. It's not a tough ride. Ramp off 91 a right after the filling station go straight til the road ends on you hang a right, left, right, left, left, follow the road til you're there. Not too bad at all really.



There is a pretty old picture of where we're going to be. The silo has been taken down, all the crap has been cleaned up, some buildings have been knocked down, others moved, and the landscape has changed slightly in places. But the building to the right with the twin overhead doors and the old craptastic forklift out front is the shop. It looks pretty small due to the angle of the picture, but it fits two triaxle dumptrucks when it's cleaned out good.

That picture was taken in the midst of some family BS shortly after a large liquidation auction on-site so please don't judge it by the condition everything was in then.

Edit: http://www.bradleyairport.com/home/ Located in Windsor Locks. Tweed is technically the closest airport, but you won't fly anything bigger than a Cessna in there.

 

signing in be back in a few.

Not at all Pete, it looks like a good place to get about anything done that you could want to do and a great place for this (and future) New England Tech days. I know I'm looking forward to it.

Jim I wish I could make it sounds like a good GTG to me.

 

Thanks Eddie. It is going to be a great time. If things change you are more than welcome to join us.
