I hope you warned the local FD about all the smoke being let out of the wires! This could be on the news!
I warn 'em whenever I start working on stuff. You know - just in case.

TomInPA said: Cross your fingers my bike starts and shows 14.2 volts tomorrow. I might be there to send more smoke signals.
I hope it starts for ya!

Bummer. Maybe next time. You coming to EOM?

I'm gonna have to bail as well. My daughter is needing to finish moving her things in to her college location, so I get moving duty on this weekend. I thought I had dodged this bullet, but alas, the needs of the kids strikes again.

I was looking forward to meeting up with y'all, and will keep trying to meet up.

Thanks for the invite and open doors, Geek.

 
What's with this weather forecast?????

No worries. Maybe next time!


Hell, this is just a bit of rain. I rode from Bust's place once when it was snowing and sleeting. 101stpathfinder rode into Bust's place in the snow.

My fault.

I'm thinking a Friday arrival is going to be much more likely. Hoping to go in early and leave early for work. If I can get on the road by 3:30, I can probably get there by 8:30-9:00.

Nick's wimping out. He doesn't have anything that needs to be done to his bike and doesn't want to be caught in the rain. I don't blame him really. The correct connectors from EB still haven't shown up. The incorrect set only took a week, it has been almost 2 for the correct ones. Really hoping for today so I can get the harness done tonight. Not optimistic about it.

 
Pista and I rode back from Bust's last tech, in pouring rain, and 45 degree temps the whole way. I'd ride down...but Jacqueline doesn't ride in the rain (she doesn't ride much, even when it's not raining). See ya'll Saturday around noon.

Sounds good. You have my number - shoot me a text so we can keep an eye out for ya. The driveway can be easy to miss.

Cool!

BTW - for anyone who didn't make the last Tech Day we hosted, note that they got lazy on our street, so all of the mailboxes are on the same side of the road, whether the address is odd or even. We are on the mailbox side of the road.

Hell no! You know rain never scared me. Just reconsidering the tent. That isn't because I don't tent in the rain. It's just that I hate having to pack up wet. Andy - any floor space left for my air mattress? Considering the HIE with Gray Ray, too.
We are staying at the HIE...JSNS

Did anyone warn the HIE?

 
There will be plenty of food and beverages - we should also have floor/couch space for those who were planning to camp but prefer not to camp in the rain (totally understand that one)... did I say there will be plenty of food? I'm an over-planner and I love to make appetizers and snacks. Pretty sure nobody will go hungry.

 
I will be watching the rain to see if I should delay my departure Saturday morning. Instead of arriving around 10, I might be after noon.

 
Intech said:Mark me down for some floor space!
Okey dokey.

Okey dokey. We should be good 'n liquored up by then.
