Anyone want to volunteer to man (or woman) the post hole digger for the signpost? We can't all cut up the Bronco as previously discussed.

I was going through my tool boxes today and I don't have any ratchet-type attatchments for my driver. Might not be so useful for removing bolts unless someone has a few we can use. I have about a billion phillips head bits though!

I saw the article and photo Tye. IIRC it named the club on the sticker which would indicate it was made by the club. I think it would be good PR for someone experienced in writing (like Pete ) to submit a writeup to Peterson's etc. The removal of the Bronco is a bit more dramatci than the removal of beer cans. We can ask about the stickers too but I've never seen any locally.

Tye, thanks for the offer to dig the hole. I recall you made short work of the signage the first trip. :bow:

We'll miss you Ben but somebody has to keep things ready for next week.

I'm planning on picking up the generator and torch from my parent's house tonight. I'll give both of them a look over tonight to make sure they are up to par. If I have any issues, I'll report back tomorrow, otherwise I'll plan on bringing them up with me to the trail.

Thanks Tye, what time do you think you'll be getting there? I'll let Brant know to expect you.

We'll drain anything in the truck if there's anything to be drained.

It was my understanding that you don't have to sign in again once you have signed the doc's once. Maybe I am mistaken, but good to check in with them.

Glad that someone else will have a generator and a torch! My generator is still being grumpy. Makes a great 100lb paper weight!

Jeff, anything I can do to help get that generator working?

You're right about the "checking in" and I can do that for anyone. Tye's picking up our adoption sign.

The generator has been an ongoing issue since I got it a year or so ago. Here is the lowdown:

Paid $150ish for a 3500 watt Craftsman. It should sell used for $350ish. The lady said her hubby knows less about mechanical stuff than her. Apparently it was low on fuel when they used it the 1 and only time. He said the fuel can was on the shelf in the garage. She filled it up and it continued to run. Runs pretty crappy now and smells like 2-stroke. Figure she put in the fuel from the mower into it. I cleaned the tank and thought that would do it. I bet there is oil sludge in the carb and on the float. Will have to tear into it to resolve it. No biggie, just frustrating.

Glad that we have another generator and an inverter. My dad has a smaller Honda generator that I might snag as well. Don't forget fuel for the generators! Also don't forget cutting blades for the saws or wheels for the grinders. Goes without saying that safety glasses and leather gloves are priority!

I have several extra pair of leather gloves. Will try to remember to bring them. Please try to bring your own as mine will only be "spares" for those who either forgot or don't have them.
