I can lend a hand, or pair of eyes. Heck, maybe i'll Amazon Prime some CB supplies and at least have some COMMS in the truck until I go HAM.
"CB" What is this Heathen word you speak???

I look forward to seeing everyone.
Heater core for sister's dog's therapist and Jordan and I are going to have a shock party.
I may be swayed to bring the skottle and some carne asada.

New guy here. Wish I could make it but stupid family obligations. How often do you guys do MOD days?
No set schedule. Varies as needs arise. Some are at the Duff's house (usually beer and a good attitude are all he requires). Some other Mod days pop up randomly at guys houses.
If you have a driveway and garage, you can host your own Mod Day. Just post day and request help (if needed).
If not, you can also post up asking for help. This group is pretty awesome about someone lending a hand, wrench, and mod spot.

But good news for Steve's whoever, we definitely have a quorum. Game ON! O0
I will be building my roof rack, and mounting assorted LED floods that were discussed at the last Carnivore meet lol
We will kick off this meeting of mechanical minds at 9am. If you would like to come earlier, DON'T >:D

Hey I have a J-Pole my father in law made for me I need to figure out how to attach to my house. Though my FT8900 is in my truck and soon to be transferred to the Xterra soon. =( I need a 2m/70cm for the house. Also I have that same handheld. (Though I think everyone does.) =)

Sounds like a plan. I've got a 3 car garage and driveway space. I'm sure I'll host a mod day in the future.. Nothing better then hanging out with cool people and working on similar vehicles..
Oh god it's starting all over again.. The 4x4 addiction.. I thought I was over it.. lol

Oh yeah, speeking of brake fluid, Celt, bring yours so we can take care of the Jeep.
Will do, the monkey has been reminding me of this since he caught wind of the mod day. He has several different motivations, one he wants to do this work which I think is great and two on Friday he should have his full license and can drive there by himself. Three, he has probably caught wind there will be food associated with wrench turning.

(http://acidcow.com/pics/20140409/fun_facts_about_hippos_12a.gif)
Regarding the hippo - for those who have not experienced this firsthand (and I don't mean in a video):
I have some friends who are keepers at the San Diego Zoo. One time my wife and I were invited to a "behind the scenes" tour of the hippo area. They have a separate pool that is not part of the public viewing area, where they can keep a hippo that for one reason or another is not on public view. This area is surrounded by 20' high concrete walls (think about limiting air circulation and thus concentrating odors), and you are separated from the hippo by a gate made of thick steel bars. You are standing on a sloped concrete ramp that is wet, with metal grating on the ground to sort-of increase your traction. We were warned ahead of time that if the hippo should come out of the water, make his way towards the gate, then turn his back towards us and start rotating his tail in a fan-like manner, that we should "run for our lives".
Hippos eat a high-fiber diet, and nothing is firm in their world. The fan-like action of the tail serves to aerate things. I can't begin to describe how bad the smell was, especially since a bit of it landed on the back of my jacket, but it took a while for someone to notice where it was. Also, I guess I didn't turn around quite fast enough, as a small particle landed on the inside of the lens hood of my camera.
I can tell you from first-hand experience that it gives a whole new meaning to the term "when the shit hits the fan".
