very cool!

As long as we only get a few inches on Friday we should be good to go for this Saturday at about 9am. If Wayne breaks anything major he will need the space for himself but he thinks he should be good as of now.

I once again will ask the folks having project work done to kick in 5 or so bucks for pizza for lunch and 5-10 to buy a GC for Wayne. Last time I gave him a $50 GC for Gibbett Hill and he was very appreciative. Would like to stay in his good graces and be able to continue to borrow the space and lift.

ADDRESS 28.5 Groton Rd Westford MA 01886 Cell is 978-7273494 9am at that address
Note : Groton Rd in Westford MA The access road for the shop is a long dirt driveway up a slight incline between 28 and 30 Groton Rd, its a large blue industrial building with heavy equipment outside, as you go down Groton Rd headed toward Groton its on the right hand side you will see a small pond and a circular driveway followed by 4 mailboxes together, the access road is immediately after the 4 mail boxes. they are listed as 6 Millstone hill rd but its a sharp turn and easy to miss it.

If the main roads are cleared and plowed good, I'll be there. Time- tbd?

Honey : There is a short lever on the floor right next to the big one. If you yank it a little you dont need a road ! FjR68

Love ya, Frank! I tend to get stuck behind people who slam on their breaks in the TJ with snow on the roads.. Almost EVERY time

I'm still in. Latest forecast has a little snow, not sure that changes anything but I'll check back here later on Friday. My goal is to get my Novak shifter in and ditch the POS, kludgy factory setup. Keeping the day open so I can hang around for the day (or however long we can stay) and help anyone else who needs it

I will not be in attendance, but I will be skiing. Otherwise, I'd be in to assist!

I may be out for this one.

I need to do some running around this morning, when I am headed back for the day I will check in with my neighbor to make sure he will not need the space. Its a small storm going now but he has a crew of 20 or so that shovel and plow for him at MIT and they frequently come back to the shop to warm up between rounds. An outside chance we will need to postpone to a later date...

If we need to postpone, I'm OK with that. Turns out I might not be available the whole day

If we postpone... I'm free
Saturday Feb 14 - yup, Valentines Day! haha
Sunday Feb 15
Sunday Feb 22

We are a go! Only caveat is we will only have access to one bay tomorrow the one with the lift in it. I think we can potentially put something up on the lift and work with another Jeep behind it. Maybe.... We also should be able to pull all the way forward and get two jeeps on the ground in...

We''ll see what projects we can get to and if there is demand always go for another day later.

My February is pretty booked up already so the earliest we can steal space would be the 22nd or so....

Also FYI the NEA is planning a snow run for the 28th. An announcement should be made soon but it will be at FF and there should be a ClassVI option as well.

I plan to drag my commando over tomorrow instead of the TJ and want to check compression on the engine, replace the gas tank and if possible fix the break lines. We can do another rig before mine goes in.

@ Carl can you bring your welder so we can patch Amanda's tub? Not sure where they store the small welder and with THE Kurt questionable it would be good to have a plan A not useing the shops supplies. We will need to call a more or less hard stop at 5pm or so as I have plans with my Bride that eveneing.

My needs for this have changed a bit. Good thing is the projects are smaller. I just need to troubleshoot my fog lights and replace the remote socket cover on the winch. We can replace the trans mount if there is time and hands and space, if not, go big deal. I can wait till next time or spring on the gas tank skid. I hate not having working fogs.

See you all in the AM.
