Superyota~ If your going to do what you said earlier on the phone, you know its going to fall apart faster then a dress on prom night...     

[superyota]

i hope not.  i've got it lined up to where everything should be covered.   i'll still try to help out as much as i can.  i guess i better start packing soon.  this is pretty stressful.  very last minute and under some extremely difficult circumstances.  hopefully it'll be for the good.  probably going to be one of the hardest decisions in life i've had to make.   

[superyota]

alright guys, off to l.a. i go.  don't forget, shop night has been changed to thursday nights at 6:30.  if you have any questions, let me know.  i'll still be there every now and then.  mike hayes is now the main guy and todd jefferies will be helping out.  hope you guys keep the shop going strong.  see you guys at the roundup. 

eddie

oh yea, who took my ebrake cable ends?  they were in the white post office crate.  please give them to mike so i can get them.  they are for larry, he paid for them.  please return.  thanks

nope. no more shop night on tuesdays.  todd can't open up on tuesdays.  thursdays is when it was originally set, and it changed to accomodate for certain people, but now it is back to thursday nights.

[superyota]

you guys ready for the roundup!?  only a week and half left.  just a heads up for those that didn't get my text a while back, shop night was changed to thursdays.  it's been really quiete around the shop the last few weeks.  if you guys want to the shop to stay open, try to come and show some support.  the school will ask for it back if we don't use it.  i'll try to sneak up there every now and then when i get a chance.  hope to see you all at the roundup

[superyota]

who's going to shop night tonight?

[jrock]

me

[superyota]

doesn't look like anyone but you and mike hayes will be there.  i think once you leave, all the tools will probably get moved over to mikes shop.  with no one showing up anymore, the school is going to take the shop back.  going to have to find someplace small and cheap if that happens.  i don't understand what happened to everyone  .  its really diisappointing to see it falling apart like it is after all the work we put into it to get to where it is .  could you try calling some of the guys to see if you can get them to come or why ther aren't coming anymore

[superyota]

me

thanks for showing up.  if it wasn't for you and mike, the place would have been gone already.

[Gixxer Jon]

Well tuesdays was working for me but since it was moved to thursdays, it conflicts with my schedule.. I tried showing up about 3 weeks ago but by the time i got there it was all locked up for the night

[ae racer]

yeh tue and thurs are bad for me too b/c i have a class that starts at 5:30 and goes until late on those days.

so, if shop night was changed back to tuesday's, both of you guys would show up?  please don't give me a flakey response.  if 2 more people started coming, it would be enough to keep it open.  if we change it to tuesdays and you guys flake out, i give it a 1 month tops before it gets locked up and done away with.  let me know asap if you can.

[ae racer]

no... i still wouldnt be able to come most nights just b/c those are the two nights that i have a late night class...actually mon and wed are the only two days id be able to make it for sure (for this semester at least) b/c i get out of class at or before 5:30 but have to stay til 8 to give my brother a ride home.
I will try to make it this next thurs but i prob wont be out of class til 8 at the earliest

as of right now, it's changed to thursday's.  jon said he will be able to come on thursdays.  when there is people at the shop, they are usually there til around 10 at the earliest while people work on the rigs.  don't go thursday, no one will be there.  if you have time, go tuesday. as long as people show up, plan on someone being there between the hours of 6 and 10 at the earliest.

[jrock]

If no one shows before 7-7:30pm, we usually leave

[superyota]

i guess.  i have to talk to todd.  he was supposed to be there thursdays, thats why we changed it over.  either way, if it doesn't work out, i talked to steve about it and there is alternative plans if no one shows up.  the shop won't be gong anywhere.  it will just be cut down to a once a month thing and school kids will be going by and learning how to weld, wrench, etc.  which is cool, because thats kinda what it was supposed to be aiming towards to start with.  we'll see.

[jrock]

Well since no one wants to wrench, that sounds perfect. Once a month can be the dinner meeting and maybe move that to a weekend

[superyota]

Thats exactly what the plan is.  on a sunday.  dinner meeting sounds great.  

[jrock]

This sunday it is!

[superyota]

lol.  we can if you want.  steve is working out a sunday that works for him to be there too.  any we still need to get a head count of all the kids that will be coming

[ae racer]

well one thing that i know that needs to be done on my 4runner is drop the tank and see if there is any damage to or if the rheostat is worn out. Thats what i had read to check for if the gauge only works up to a certain point. So the next shop night is this upcomming tueday right... i'll be sure to bring my 4runner to school so i can drive right over.

[ae racer]

hey jon, are you going to be at shop night tomorrow? Im also planning on re-doing/finishing the vaccume lines on my 4runner and it would be helpful if i had another 22re 4runner to look at. BTW, how much line do you think i should buy to do everything?

A billion nanometers

[ae racer]

wouldnt that only be one meter?.... cus billion has 9 zeros and i believe nano means 10^-9.....I talked to someone else and they said 10 ft...
