I will definitely make the announcement about lunch time and giveaway time when we meet for the early run. It will all be up to you if you choose to stop and eat as a group, but the option will be there. There are a few places in Attica that are quick like Subway and McD's. I will be packing my lunch for both days. Like Scooter said, makes it easy and quick...and more time to bs.

I have a butane soldering iron if needed. I'll bring it just in case. I'll be in a white 4 door with my dog. My wife and kid too.

Do you know how many watts your inverter is? A heat generating tool such as a soldering iron/pencil could use quite a few watts.

That should do. Most of the soldering irons I see only use about 45 watts or less. I thought it would have been more.

Almost there, should be a good time. I'm going to be at the campgrounds at around 3:30 to set up and relax. Just got my soft doors today.
What do you think?


The factory doors are now officially off until fall.

This really sucks!! I really wish we could be there. It sounds like it's gunna be a great time, but it seems like everyone is having problems and people keep dropping out. We won't be able to get there in August either, we will be headed to Disney World that weekend. Is there gunna be any kind of a meet in the fall or winter?

I think Cpt Flapjack and Jedi are leaving on Friday, but you may want to pm him just in case.
