Anyone wanna help a brother put up our tile back splash in my kitchen???


Pull for saturday. Worse comes to worse, we can hit up lacy rd sunday morning as a backup, since its closer, just to get you out at least for a little bit.

I believe Saturday is understood to be the most acceptable for everyone, so let's keep it. Sat., Dec5 2009. Atsion office entrance @11:30-12:00. Everyone be prepared.

Yeah where is Bob... he's probably stuck in a big water pit trying to get reception on his phone to call one of us.

The final countdown begins now. Less than three days. I am going to dig around to see if I can map any pits like in my link, so we know where to go.

As much as I would love to come, I have to wait on my new coil to come in. Misfire started (cylinder 4)....already got my Delco plugs, but Advanced tried to get me a coil and couldn't locate one. Unless I magically get one in the next day or 2, I will not be able to make it. Keep me posted for next time!! Take lots of pics...

So it looks as if i'm still gonna have my truck in the shop, but i may have another 4x4 to bring along if all goes well. Otherwise I'll try to get a ride with either Brendan or Mario.

Sunday looks much better. Brendan already mentioned the possibility of hitting up Lacey Rd. I look at the area on Google Maps, looks like fun.

Well if no one has a problem with it, we could switch to sunday for the trip... It would also give me a better chance of having my truck done. And Lacey is a short thing, like its good for a couple of hours but there aren't many trails, its more of quad territory. If you want to hit up something like that, i'd be interested in checking out some of Jackson's parks

I'll only really have a couple of hours. I have plans for late afternoon/early evening so I'd have to be out by 3ish.
