Still left to do...

I'm still a go for this weekend. I would say we wait and see about the rain and work when there aren't downpours, but I hesitate to just declare that as new time given uncertainty of amount time needed to get tasks completed. Should the weather be bad, a half dozen or so folks should be able to work on these items inside the bus w/o too much interference.
If the weather is kind to us, a few more folks could be used to work outside the bus for transfer of trailer and other misc items. Sunday afternoon has a better forecast. If it is really bad tomorrow we can save the "outside the bus" work for then.

Given the forecast for this weekend and it's 7 days until the bus leaves for Roanoke Rapids,
I would say we need to focus on the following items.

I will post back here Saturday with some status.
If I get industrious, I could setup a webcam on the bus. We'll see...

I'll be there a little after noon, still making up for mom's day for the wife.

If you electrical guru's could make it, we really need to get the hit list that Chris pointed out completed before the NCCAR weekend, especially the PA and wiring.

Matt didnt need speakers at the last event...

I will try and make this at about 10:30 or 11ish. I am far from a guru, but I can tie two wires together :mrgreen:

Since it looks like storms might hold off until this afternoon, let's get started this morning.

ChrisSuich · **Posted:** Sat May 14, 2011 11:34 am

We are working...
:welcome:

This thread is worthless without a live webcam.

Free Japanese make seedlings. Bring your own pot.

Thanks to everyone who came out to help with bus setup.

Everyone who came out will get a year long plaque. Find me at NCCAR and I'll get it for you.

The new bus is VERY well setup. It is wider in there so T&S folks will find it much easier to maneuver around in there. We have external T&S plugs so the box just needs to be plugged into the pig tails and the timing heads plug into the junction box in the rear driver side of the bus including the wired display.

Trophies are in the new filing cabinet on the inside of the bus.

Please be away that the floor is higher, but the roof is comparable to the old bus. This means that the rear door is even SHORTER. So please watch your head (hint hint Rodney). We'd like to get a sliced 'pool noodle' to pad the top for this purpose.

The old filing cabinet is increasingly failing. Please be carefull pulling cabinets out as they *might* not stop. Also, use a bit of oomph pulling them out.

This was fixed. The doors now have stoppers on the tacks

If it's just for Rodney and I, the brain damage is already done. I wouldn't waste the $5 on a pool noodle.
