Title: July Meetup - AKA Broken Axle Open House - 16-July
Post by: fug on July 07, 2014, 10:48:17 PM: So we don't normally have a normal meeting in July or August but sometimes we try organize an informal gathering just to hang out and BS. This year Broken Axle has kindly offered to sponsor a get together next Wednesday 16-July in their parking lot. They've generously offered to BBQ up some burgers and hotdogs... maybe give away some swag and we might see if we can arrange to have the ramp there so people can ramp their jeeps.

Date: July 16, 2014
Time: 7:00 pm

Place: Broken Axle
Suite 619 - 12445 Lake Fraser Dr SE

Big thanks to Dave, Eric and the rest at Broken Axle for offering to do this!

We figure we can do a mini-show and shine, but more of a jeep/BS evening. Hopefully the ramp will be there too.

You're right. I don't think that Kevin has the forearm strength necessary to undo a bolt either.
