Haha probably still a but of a drive for you, friend... JD is home Thursday, just heard back from him-he's game for Friday night AS council meeting... Also just talked to Barb- sounds like there's quite a but of snow yet, but they just got 4 loads of wood, so they got lots of cutting to do! We'll have to get something on the calendar.... If this location suggestion doesn't work, throw another out there!

I've got to work the Lion's Club meat raffle Friday night at Ward's. We should have the Scout pretty much wrapped up by the end of the week.

What time is the raffle? I'm guessing a meat raffle isn't going to make ward's any roomier than last time Open to places other than the northern, wards is pretty tight tho! opcorn:

Meat raffle starts at 6:30 and is normally over around 8:00.
Andy-Did you find me a switch for the siren on the Scout?

Crap!!! I spaced it out. I will look around at work tomorrow. You needed a momentary switch that will fill up a 1.25" hole if I remember right?

I looked thru all of our switch selections and everything we have available is rectangular and gets mounted in a switch plate. I will ask the service guys if they have anything they have removed from a refurb job. I kind of doubt it though I think they throw everything away.

It was the Dresser FD grass fighting rig that they took out of service in 1987. Only 4212 actual miles............

Sorry, we can't make it Friday. Denny gets out of work at 4:00 and we would not get there until 6:00 (with Denny driving or maybe 5:30 with me driving) and we would have to leave no later than 7:00 to get home so he can get to bed by 8:30 to get up at 4:00. Would love to see everyone, but count us in on the next meeting. The wood we got is cut and split, but we are expecting four more semis if they can get here by mid April. The wood was cut in Trade Lake where they have a lot less snow than we do. Funny how a few miles can make such a difference. Hope to see everyone soon.

Any other suggestions for Friday night? We gonna try to have a council meeting?

It looks to be for a 3/4" hole but with the washers it is a little over 1.25". It is period correct for a 1961. If you want it, I'll ship it to your shop. DF

Anyone up for some target shooting? I have 2500 rounds to plow through.


Also, I have a Glock 31 (.357 Sig) I'm picking up in the next few days.

Went for a walk in our wood cutting area tonight and wow there is still a lot of snow. To much to get in and cut. I am free Friday night for a council meeting.

Looks like my best option so far! Do you have my address?

 

[andydodgegeek]

Well where we gonna get together for Friday nights festivities? I dont really care, we could go to burger king and have a good time. Tdawgs? The Northern grill in Chisago City? It seemed a bit over crowded last time at Wards In Dresser, we need more eatin room. But I'm game for what ever, I just like to eat. And hey Tim, you wanna shoot some pistol for a while on Saturday? We can cruise down to my gun club if you want. I got a bunch of 9mm I wouldn't mind making noise with.
