Lube job? Swivel seat. Did I miss something extraodinarily exciting?
;)

Nerds! Hmmmmm.... the next time I diagnose a problem on your van
I'm going to wire it a little different. ;)
You didn't mention Dave Garth's electric hair dryer manuver on the fire.
Dave had this hair dryer (god knows why) and hooked it up to Bradley's
inverter (I think) and ran the hair dryer pointed at the fire to
help fan the flames (or to get flames in the first place ;) )
David arrived about 3 minutes before Linda and I and we did manuvers
through the campground to try to find the best sight. When we got
back to the booth, Dave Garth was just arriving. We got registered
and got acquainted and then checked out Dave's hi-tech van. What
a layout! Warm water in the sink, shower out back. And a (dare I
say it) sano heater set up that looked OEM IMO. So we just sat in
his van for a while discussing our backgrounds and such with soft
jazz music in the background. It was great!
Finally Bradley and Jeff showed up and Marth and Sara. Marth seeing
that nothing had been done took charge and the fire got started and
groceries got chopped, fish got prepared, people were chattering
and getting to know each other better. Eventually we got a pot
on the fire with all the goodies being added. Linda was babysitting
the potatoes on the coleman stove. (I did help chop the potatoes
some too ya know). People kept arriving here and there and dinner
was progressive as new things got added to the pot. The beer was
good (contrary to what a certain person thought ;) ). There was
wine and coffee concoctions to be had. Anyway, a fine time was
had by all, I think.
I'll let someone else elaborate on the rest of the gathering.
It was great though. There'll definitely be more.
