It'll be great to see you again. How will you choose which car to drive?

Happens to the best of us, just glad you'll be able to attend.

Excellent. We'll gather around the fire pit; haven't had a chance to use it yet so it'll be about time.

Aaron, count me in. I'll know later if Connie will come. We're in Portugal right now but will be back home next Thursday. I'll let you know what I'm bringing then, but I'm thinking a nice smoked brisket.

A bit low on firewood. We have one small bundle - we're trying to get our fire pit filled in and topped with concrete. It's currently about five feet deep! We cleaned it all out but have no idea why they made it that way...

Would love to make this one as I missed the one in Lynnwood, but not sure yet that I can free up my Saturday.

Question, tho. Has anyone signed up to be first on the lift?

Nope. We had Dean's Mazda up on it when we replaced the rear sway bar and engine mounts but there hasn't been a Corvette on it yet.

Well, we got to find a reason to get a Vette up in the air. I just got Pfadt poly sway bar bushings and GM ceramic brake pads, but it can't wait that long. Seems like there has to be some shedding of blood to make it an official GTG. . .

Would absolutely love to make it, only as you know, Saturday afternoons are hard. I'd love to have a reason to get the Vette up on the lift!

I've wondered where you disappeared to. Glad you'll be able to make it.

Would it be possible to get my coupe on the lift and get it lowered on the stock bolts? Or is that possible to do on a lift?

The lift is available but I'd have to have someone else chime in on how to do it.

As far as it beginning, I'm inclined to share.

I spent the last 14 years in a house without even a garage, much less being fortunate enough to have a lift.

oh, it's possible to do on a lift - yes indeed it is!

there will be plenty of people available to point to the correct bolt.
