MWI and Wrench-o-thon--Morehead, Ky

[Retro93]

It look's like either the 10th-13th or 17th-20 will work. This will give some leeway as to the dates. Allot will depend on the weather. It's too darn close to winter for my tastes.

[Retro93]

Looks like we got a crew willing. Keep us posted on here Retro. Or maybe we need to start a new thread so we don't hog over SMOR interested parties?

Like mentioned let us know what tools you need.

Do we need a second Kubota? If so let me know as soon as possible because I'll need to drop off the J10 to use that trailer. It needs off that trailer ASAP anyway. Kubota is ready to go right now.

I have alot of those 4x6 wood blocks and can get more if needed.

I have a Hobart 220V Mig Welder little to no use on it but 7 years old.

I have an engine hoist, brand new from HF never assembled yet.
Also have an engine stand same as before.

I have a 10x10 EZ up canopy.

Tons of hand tools. Some precision stuff as well.


The only thing I'll need down there is a safe place to leash up the pooch preferably away from other pooches. I don't trust him unsupervised with other dogs and I don't want to have to baby sit him all day. I don't think he'll like being in the truck camper all day long. I can't leave him behind or I would.

Tom.... I'm good on tools.
I have an engine hoist, but I'm guessing we'll use my Kubota to lift the engines out. I'm not sure about this right now, I'll have to give it some thought.
The EZ up canopy could be of great use. Good for keeping the sun off of the old head.
Yes regarding the 4x6's. I have jack stands, but I think we'll need something else to hold the rigs up.
Don't worry about the pooch. Bring his bed and toys...he can camp out in the ManCave. I don't think Sarah would bother him, but it's best to be safe.

[HOOT]

I'll start collecting lots of wood blocks. We can always burn them as we don't need them.
I' ll Be keeping my weekends free as much as possible so the date won't matter much to me. I can even do spur of the moment dates if need be. I usually don't have to commit to over time weekend wotk till Thursday evening at work. I have bailed on tnose commitments also for Jeep reasons.
Rudy plays well with others , it is just he is old and gets tired easy and then can be grumpy.

[Retro93]

Rudy and I should get along real well as I'm old and tired and grumpy myself.

10-4 on the wood Tom......I've already prepared the fire pit.

17-20th would work great here, one of my long weekends anyway.
Could do the 10-13th if it works better for everyone else, just have to head back a little earlier.

I'll grab my dads load leveler.
Hoist or tractor, that thing is handy for getting things at just that right angle to get the bolts in/out/lined up.

Allot will depend on the weather. It's too darn close to winter for my tastes.

Know what you mean there.
Whats the yard situation down there?
Wondering about pitchin a tent if the weather is cooperative, depending who my copilot ends up being.

Speaking of copilots, will anybody else be bringing their "better half "?
Mine tends to enjoy herself better if she has help making fun of us while we work.

I second the 17th-20th.
Would work better for me too.

[HOOT]

I will be sleeping in the back of the truck. I may have a small heater with me if it is real cold out.

my co pilot and better half is a Boston terrier.

I may have my T Bird on a car hauler to trade for a Wagoneer. Can I park the trailer in the gravel lot by you Retro? Or if you don't mind I can park in the yard .

[The PIG Smith]

Let me get this correct: No WOT this weekend?

So, now that I have a heads up of might be coming up in a future weekend, I will try to plan to come down and help.

Hoot....you can put your trailer on the pad that is about halfway down my drive. If you can't get in there you can park in the yard

I'll leave it up to you guys..... I just don't want to wait too long because it will get too darn cold to spin wrenches. I tossed those 2 dates out to get the conversation spinning. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it.

[Ristow]

how cold is too cold in kentucky? c'mon,i need a laugh here....

[The PIG Smith]

The weekend of October 17-20 was suggested.
That works for me.
Actually, Saturday, October 18...MAYBE spend the night and come home on Sunday.

I'm good w/ just about any weekend except the first one in Oct. Whatever works for everyone else.

10-4 on the wood Tom......I've already prepared the fire pit.

I could probably bring some firewood along if needed. Let me know.
