Glad you can make it. It wouldn't be the same without you.
Jan and I are planning on heading out either Wednesday evening, or Thursday
early AM. If we head out on Wednesday, we're going to try to stop by and
see the Falls [Niagra]. Jan's always wanted to do the boat tour. We'll be
staying at Pinewoods Cottage again this year.
How many copies of the DVD / CD's should be bring along? I've got 1 DVD of
unedited video, and the CD will have the photo's we took at the National
meet in Colorado. I'd like to gather copies of the stuf others took as
well, as I think all of the video of my truck is looking out the window of
the truck...
Repaired the busted driveline [from Colorado] on the RC truck a week ago.
We're planning to bring that along for the trip. I just hope it lasts
longer before the carnage starts this time.
I decided I should bleed the brakes in the Dak. I wanted to install the
speedbleeders to make the job go faster. Started on the right rear and
sheared off the bleeder scew. Pulled out the left rear, and discovered the
speedbleeders wern't the right size. At least they've got great customer
service. The fronts went in without incident. Decided for $10 it would be
quicker to just replace the wheel cylinder instead of trying the easy out on
the busted screw. Got the wheel cylinder in and the brake line was leaking.
I didn't read my FSM for this job, but I'm fairly sure that channel locks
are not the recomended tool for the removing the flare nut either. Needed
to use an extention bar and the BFH to pop the cylinder free as well.
Replaced the hard line today [another run to the parts store and $3 in parts
later I was back in business.
