We can do a small GTG here in town if you want to. I won't have my car as it is in storage at the moment and will be for most of the winter, but I'll still come hang out. Anyone else other than Brandon, Myself and rv1890 (name?) going to show? I'm sure I'll drag Elle along but other than that?

Cool, I plan on working on my IROC (A/C delete fan box, new copper header gaskets, and 7lb. starter) during my time off. When you guys decide, I'll be able to let you know if I can make it. If you tell me in time I might be able to get it finished by then.

Anywho... Just an idea.

closer to 2hrs if you drive 55 mph.... (Map quested it) if you average about 70/75 you should be there in about an hour and twenty to an hour and 30 min.

by the way, it be nice to know about those short cuts

I think the 18th is actually a perfect day for me, so long as nothing work wise comes up it would be great. I wouldnt necessarily mind heading to the visalia shop either.

Well...
I can't say anything about Ryan - but I'm starting a new job, so we'll see if I end up w/ that day off. (Hopefully!)
I think it'd be mighty fun!

I'll be out of town from the 11th to the 14th in the search of snow. Who's going? Feb. is just days away. Is this thing a go? I'm off from the 4th of Feb. till the begining of March. If you guys are going to do this thing, should we get a list of food to bring and people going on the top of this thread like most of the ones in the past? Just trying to make plans for my time off.
