Re: Kelowna

As my lj doesn't run at the moment, I will be running one of my samurai if that's ok with everyone. Norm Mine is not running right now either, and I don't have a samurai as a backup. :pissed: Just got home from working on it and I'm about ready to drive it off a cliff. Norm, we should get together ...

Re: Kelowna

I'll try and call Al this week and see if we can set up a time and place for you to meet us on Sunday morning, and for everyone else I'll try and get Saturday's time line figured out too.

Re: Kelowna

Ok, so Al is good with wheeling on Saturday and camping a little ways into the bush and then doing a different trail on Sunday. Al has asked that we keep the locations of everything within the group going wheeling, I'm assuming so we don't have a bunch of tag alongs. Whoever is coming can PM me and ...

Re: Kelowna

I've emailed Al to let him know about the trailered rigs and to see if he's interested in joining you guys on Saturday too. Is anyone interested in his group BBQ offer for lunch on Sunday? I need to let him know fairly soon I'd think. Also, if people could reconfirm if they are coming or not so we c...

Re: Kelowna

Looks like Sunday the 20th is the plan now. I'd possibly be up for something on Saturday but I'd be good with just the one day too. We could always plan a bigger trip early next summer and keep this one a little shorter. Al's response: Sure Rick, I can still swing that. I think a run up into the bac...

Re: Kelowna

Ok I've emailed Al back and told him that Sunday the 20th would work for us if he can still do it. So I really hope that works for everyone. I'll let you all know as soon as he gets back to me.

It works way better for me on the 20th as I wont have to miss a wedding then.

Ok, if you guys want to change your minds I'll have to let Al know right away. He emailed me back and let me know that he's not interested in covering a trip on the whipsaw again but I think he would still do a local trip the following Sunday. I think most of us would like the chance to have our rig...

This is what he wrote back, too bad it doesn't work out for him. I'll email him back and let him know what we're doing. That...

Re: Kelowna

Bigger trucks can be nice to have around if someone needs a pull, it's quicker then the winch. I'm still not 100% sure I'll be able bring the LJ81 or not, depends on if I get it finished. I might bring my tin top if I don't.

Re: My LJ is not a boat

Wow that's awesome! I've had water flowing over the hood of my tin top without problems, but yeah, I should have checked first. One of those brainless moments that could have been a lot worse. The only fun part about it is that two taller rigs wouldn't follow me through after they saw how deep it was!

Re: Kelowna

I'll be at the Okanagan College for two years and then one at UBC Okanagan. Getting my B.Ed. with a trades and technology specialty (to start with anyway).

That'd be totally sweet to have a mini LJ meet while I was there!

They're short, but it should help people get excited about this years meet. Too bad I can't make it this year, I'd love to go to Moab.

And I'll have my own 16' x 30' shop with a hoist and heated floors to work in now. At least I'll have lots of room to park LJ's when I find th...

Well, my little orange Lj is running great. It does need four new u-joints, but... I may not get around to changing them before the meet because they aren't too bad yet.
I'm a little skeptical on the Toyzuki being ready, but you never know, sleep isn't really that important is it?
