Hey Guys,

I was at the meet and greet last night at Timmie's with Rich99 and Offroadnewbie, and of course quite a few other guys from the forum and it came up in conversation that nothing has really been updated in this section! It definitely seemed that there was a few of us last night that would really like to get out and get something done for the good of the club, but there seems to be nothing new  posted in here. There has to be something we can all pitch in to do for the good of our sport, and to help sustain McLean, and therefore id like to volunteer my time for the weekend of July 24th and 25th. Can we come with a group project for this weekend? Some suggestions from last night were possibly going out to drain some of the really bad mud holes, or even fix portions of the fence. Even if we all go out to have a ride, and clean up garbage along the way, Id be up for putting my back into this for the good of the sport. Lets get something going here! I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be able to put in a few hours that weekend to help out!


Also, on a side note, if you haven't yet been to one of the Sunday Meet and Greets started by Rich99, your really missing out ;)

I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

I'm also interested in doing a project.....but I'm not sure if I'm free the 24th.  I'd prefer the 25th.

If it's a whole weekend thing, I'll see what I can do....should be able to free it up :)

I have a strong back and a weak mind and would love to spend a day doing some real work.

I can make it both days.

I would be interested in helping out that weekend as well. I would be able to attend one of the two days as I bought my first house and my move in date is that weekend.

i will probably get roasted for this but what about a drainage weekend? what i mean is go around mclean and find those problem areas that have huge mud hols that just need some quick drainage and clean them up? this would be quick and easy to organize and have lots of wheeling!

I'm game for that Pook! BTW, I'm sure i just drove past your XJ but you weren't driving it... ;) Better have a look outside and make sure its still there! As for the drainage project, lets do it! Would you be able to lead a trail so we don't get lost in the process? Looks like Sunday would be the best day for a few other people as well, so why don't we set up for then! JohnnyC is right, it does look like we have a project here now!

:D

@ simon, that was my wife driving.

@ kyle, faw-q!

unfortunatly i have a leaky wheel seal and wont take the xj on the trail while i am leaking oil all over the place so i wont be on the trail untill i get this fixed. just dont know when i will have the time to fix it.

i would totaly like to lead a drainage project as soon as the xj is fixed!

Awesome Pook!! Well if not for that Sunday, maybe we can drag you out shotgun in another jeep! I guess ill use this same post to ask Kyle if he wants to help lead if your XJ isnt up to working... I know the feeling ;) I still have to fix my steering...  ::)
