GTG thread

OK MN
Lets all throw out a few dates when we can get together, then we'll figure out where.

I'm available most saturdays and willing to go anywhere from duluth to minneapolis along I-35 Hinkley? Minneapolis? Duluth?

I "think" I am available most weekends in December unless the wifey has not told me about some stuff. A working G2G would be fine as lonng as someone has a shop of some sort. Otherwise just hangin' somewhere would be ok by me.

Well I have my shop I work out of that is heated and could fit two trucks in. I am on a street so there is plenty of parking that way. Biggest draw back is I am 2.5 hrs west of the twin cities. I think the only weekend that might work in Dec for me would be the weekend before x-mas.

I have a big shop that can be heated(just need to hook the wood stove up) with plenty of parking. I'm located about an hour north of the Twin Cities.

I agree, Mike has a great BIG shop and most of the tools for anything. We have had a few get togethers and maybe we could make it a wisc/mn gtg. I also need some help doing the front wheel bearings that are now grinding. I think we will do the ball joints and everything while we are in there.

The 13th should work for me, guess I need to get my @$$ in gear and get a heat source in the shop. Should also sheet the celing and insulate before then too. I got permanent power out there now, no more "overhead" power.
