im just going on what my wife looked up. not sure where she got the forecast from. i like yours better tho! that firewood is a very small dent in the amount of being overloaded, and its mainly for cooking. we pretty much do all of our cooking over the fire. im actually thinking about bringing another 15 gal of veggie. especially if we go do some stuff in kalamazoo. on a completely weird side topic, i guess when i was learning to talk, kalamazoo was my favorite word to say. seeing as how im going to be that close, i think i owe my mom a picture of me in front of a city sign or something right?

Andy I've got a couple of space heaters that came with the fiver. I'll have em there if ya need em. I can put a face cord of firewood in the front of the trailer so if ya need to keep light I've got it covered.

Nick it sounds lime Jessica is all prepped to kick our butts....

As for me I've smoked a wheel bearing on Goldie's right front last night about a mile from the house. Limped it home and is currently #4 in line for repairs. The shop light is on and will be late all week trying to get caught up and the repair made before we light of Friday afternoon when the little butts get out of school. At least the truck and trailer are clean.

When i first saw this thread start i was thinking it would be cool to go, but then i remembered that i worked on saturdays. well now i am out of a job so i would have the time to make it. only one big problem. my truck's new rad is sitting in the garage and i will not be ready to go for the weekend.

Kinda of a good news bad news situation, Yea I am very sorry to hear about your job, and hope you are able to find employment soon. Your radiator setback was a bummer as well!

It would be great if you could make it even if for just an afternoon on Sat or something, Also you can drive what ever you want if your truck isn't ready and you have something else available, bring it and hang out with us for a while, It would be great to meet you. You never know who you meet in this group, there may be connections or ideas that can be shared to get you employment or maybe even start your own shop,..Just thinking out loud,..


Updated Forecast,. Yup its gonna be cold at night:

Pretty sure that they have heaters, so you should be all set, if no sounds like there will be a couple of extras available.

Hey Tina, Yes lets plan on a Chili/Soup Social for Saturday Night, Sounds like there will be 3 or 4 people that will be making a pot of Chili. Lori wants to make her famous Corn Chowder, so we will supply that, along with bowls and crackers. If anyone wants to make some sides, corn bread, or something like like that, it would be great. I still make make a pot of chili myself if I have time,..well see,..

Another reason I want to make a pot,...



Also, Eastlake Campground is having their annual Harvest Festival this Saturday, This consist of Hay Rides, Activities, Arts and Crafts for the kids and Trick or Treating in the evening. The lil munchkins will be going from camper to camper trick or treating.

I would like to help out Eastlake and be a part of this event, since this is our first time being there on this weekend. There are a lot of full time campers there and it would be fun to join in on the festivities.

So for those of you with kids, feel free to throw together some sort of costume and they can go trick or treating if you would like. (nothing gory or scary please)

Second part of this is it would be great if we could have some candy to pass out. Lori and I will be buying a couple of big bags to bring and would be glad to share. I don't think we need a ton, but if there are a couple of volunteers that can bring some more so we are all covered I would appreciate it.

Thirdly I apologize for the late posting on this subject. I didn't give the parents of little ones enough time to get a costume together, I should have checked wit the campground earlier to see what the Harvest Festival entailed, but I didn't, so I am sorry for that.

more to come in a few,... got a customer,...

I have had a couple things come up and will not be able to be be there with the camper on Thursday. However I would be able to show up and hang out for a while on Thursday, and will be there with the camper Early Friday Afternoon. Lori will be there after picking up Taylor from school later afternoon.

When are you planning on being there? Just a thought, You talked about going to see Lake Michigan for a while, Maybe you can do that on Thursday?
Let me know what you think.

You bring up a good question: When do y'all plan on being there?
Littledoggie Family will be there late Fri night.
Scott and family will be there on Saturday night.
Butts will be there Friday afternoon.
93cc7.3 will be there Friday Morning.
Ironman03R will be there Friday Evening 8ish.

If you could let me know I would appreciate it.

We are praying for safe trips for everyone and looking forward to a great weekend!

Ill check and see if I have anything, Maybee Ron,..? Pretty sure he wont be in the mood to do any wrenching this weekend,.but ya never know,..

 

[Dsl_Dog_Treat]

I've got nothing in stock worth parting ways with.
If Karen doesn't get mandatoried this weekend I may be up for a quick wrench pull if ya get some parts. I'll have my tools with me. But this one that Darrin sent down has challenged me both mentally and physically and should not have and my body is fighting back.

So Darrin from earlier, I'll snag a few bags and brew some Barber butt kickin chilling and break out the costume.

So here's a thought maybe we can tie in the chili competition in with the trick or treating too???

 

[93cc7.3]

Ok I might have something here but condition is kinda unknow they appear to be. Ok but idk I know mine has 317k on it

 

[93cc7.3]

But I just remebered I don't have any new orings

 

[Dsl_Dog_Treat]

My pop tester has been giving me fits as the gauge went tango uniform. I can bring it to check for spray patterns but that's about all it's capable of right now and haven't the luxury to get it repaired.
I've got 2 Delphi injector install kits stocked but would be kinda pointless to use on used injectors me thinks.

 

[93cc7.3]

No worries don't bother ill be there friday in the am who will be there friday morning
