LOL we were just talking about that. It was Dr Strangelove.  brr it was cold

[Goldfish]

Is there any interest in this trip?

[Bobby B.]

I'm still into it.  Just have to put the fuel tank back in the X and repair the front diff, but other than that, I should be good.

[boats]

My daughter and I are in.

[hardrock]

I'm in if my sliders and skids get here in time.

[Oz]

Yes! I'm planning just a day trip though

[RockinX]

I'm a maybe.  I have a cracked driver's side lower control arm and was quoted $500 for R&R.  A new control arm costs around $300.  I took it to someone this weekend and they said they will weld it for me for $50, but that is without taking it off.  Since the cracking is all around the bracket and down the arm, I think I should at least have it removed to be welded.  And then I'll see about having a plate put in for reinforcement.  So I'll need to get this figured out before I take it on some rocks.  Other than that, I am good to go.

I found a good deal on some reinforced LCAs with the help of Bobby.  It turned out it was Rich formerly from NCCX who went with us on the CX Memorial run and the same guy who sold me my Rockcrawlers.  He shipped them out on Monday so I was sure I would have them in time to get them installed this weekend.  Since they hadn't shown up yet I checked the tracking number.  They won't get here until Monday.    The shipping charge to me was $25 from Utah.  I should have given him my FedEx number but mistakenly thought he would have sent them UPS rather than regular mail.  I am debating whether to take another vacation day to get my truck worked on, but idk.  So as it stands now, I don't think I will be able to go.

Edit:  Vacation request submitted, although I won't know if it will be approved until the end of the week because of a large ongoing project at work.

Sadly, Oz's Desert Drive-in Theater closed October 27th, 2008 due to lack of attendance. Here is a photo of the aforementioned Dr Strangelove from SCCX club run 4/11/08, somewhere along the Mojave Trail.

From another point of view (female), I would say it was because of the movie selection.  Maybe Fast and Furious or something like that would have brought up the attendance.  Just sayin...   

Itll play any movie you want - but people get too cold understandably and head into the tents.

[Goldfish]

OK so it looks like the following are in:
1. Goldfish
2. Paul
3. Boats
4. Topcat
5. Bobby B
6. Oz

There were a few maybe's out there so if your going please add your name to the list.
