Look forward to seeing you there.  You'll have lots of company.  Bring your hip waders as we'll be "swatting flys and telling lies".  :motonoises:

There are a couple "Brian" users, so for the record, it's my house.

Look forward to everyone coming. Family welcome, I have 3 kids and my wife who will all be home and the back yard has a trampoline and swings.

 
If anyone has parts needed from Murphs and want to share shipping, I will be ordering some stuff myself and will hold yours until shop day if you want.

PM me if interested.
 
Wrench and BBQ Social has been added to the Event Calendar for the South West Region, month of September, 15th day.  If you are contemplating or planing to attend please sigh up so the "beans can be counted" and I can provide the right number of forks and spoons.  Oh yeah, grunt and grog too!

Looking forward to seeing you there.  :103:

Thanks Brian for hosting this.  I'll put it on the calender also.  I'll be glad to help out with maintenance for the C-10 guys.  I've got a couple left over 220 ohm resistors for anyone that wants to make their gas gauge more accurate.  Mark

It's a simple easy to install mod.  I'll have to look at how I did mine again.  I can't remember if I soldered it in place.  Do you have a soldering iron available?  You can also just push it into the tank electrical connector.  We'll see.  Mark
 
Looks like my throttle cable may be on my wrenchin calendar as I have still not had time to get to it...  :mad:

Coming up folks, rain or shine this is a go! We will have the 3 car garage cleared and teady to fill with Connies.
 
Brian,  Check for the correct address ( as stated in the first post) as I went to look it up yesterday and mapquest can't find it.  Might be a little confusing for someone.  Mark

PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION TO ADDRESS for the event.  I inadvertently left off part of the street name  :-[ :-[ :-[ the correct address is 4768 N. Calle Santa Cruz, Prescott Valley, AZ.  The correction has been made to the original posting and will be made in the event calendar.  My apologies.

Thanks everyone for attending the Wrenching/BBQ Social on Sunday.  Thanks Brian for hosting the event and Tom Taylor for bringing up those great tasting pies from Rock Springs Cafe.  We wrenched on Brian's C-10 replacing the throttle cables.  Mark Blackman affixed a resistor to the pig tail wiring coming off the fuel tank to make the fuel gauge comport with reality.  Everyone had a great time wrenching, schmoozing and eating...tri tip with potato salad and berry pie for desert.

The next scheduled AZ event will be a loop ride October 26 on the Coronado Trail (Devils Hwy) beginning and ending in Springerville.  More on this later as we workout the last of the details.

Thanks again everyone,

Bert
