2013 Haspin Discussion Thread

I need to get my alternator installed, clean the battery confections and crank the beast up take her for a test run.

Haven't touched the deuce yet. If I have time, need to replace shifter seal on transfer. Needs oil change, extra filters, and greased. Fuel filters have been done recently. Then on to packing the camper, deuce, bus, and trailer.

Race mowers are being gone over, and should be in tip top shape by then. Camper needs looked at, should be good to go. Bus needs floor replaced where it came unglued, and fluids checked.

Doing what I can to make sure I can make the rally. I can bring some firewood as well, so we can have a good campfire.

I am bringing part of a trailer and a generator head for Gimpy. Is there anything east of Haspin rally that I can help bring west, to make use of the Steel Soldiers Transportation Corps? Can't haul a deuce or something huge, but if you have parts in the VA/MD/WV/PA area that I can fit in the truck, I'll make it happen.

I picked up my new replacement Suzuki 750 ATV from another SS member in Columbus last night. I'm good even without a truck.

swbradley,

Good to hear you got another one. I may be getting another ATV too, but time will tell.

Are you bringing the 813?

 

[swbradley1]

I'm not sure whether I'm bringing a civi outfit again or the 813 with 280 and 105. The cat won't travel in the big truck.

Kittywhipped is the term for the dilemma you're in.

I don't think I should have to remind you that this is an MV rally, not a Girl Scout jamboree!
Just kidding, look forward to seeing you there!

On a lower note it seems that our entertainment director (the infamous Gimpy) is a no show.

I was looking forward to meeting gimpy.... Now, we have to find another way to amuse ourselves. I heard he had nerf bars installed under his deuce to prevent roll overs... I wanted to have a look at those.

No gimp? What are we to do?

Well, our angle of attack and center of gravity experiments will have to be postponed.
Camp fires will be noticeably smaller, but the subject matter around afore mentioned campfires should
include stories relating to this missing member.
Gimp says he has to work, some fancy new job I guess!

"work" that is a new one.

 

[swbradley1]

I suppose the float tests will be cancelled as well.

My vote always goes with the tried and true.......Chocolate Chip Cookies!

 

[maddawg308]

If gimpy isn't coming, can I leave some big parts for someone to take to him?
