Need a hand
« on: January 13, 2008, 05:24:59 PM »
Hey everyone...
My Dad has a Cherokee that has been having some minor issues. An overheat issue (that may be getting taken care of this weekend), he needs an alternator installed and some other minor things. I just haven't been able to generate the time or ambition (mostly the ambition) to get on them and finish them up.
What I need is someone or even a couple of people  who want to come up and hang out and give me a hand getting his stuff done and I have a couple of things on both my Runners that need attention.. A CAT on the Turtle and a windshield washer pump and some diamond plate work on the gray runner.(hell, I don't care if 10 people want to come and hang out and pitch in...LOL)
any takers?
Let me know when you're available and I'll make sure I'm good and that I can get my Dad's truck over to my garage in Wallingford. Oh yeah... I would need a hand there, at my garage.

Thanx!!

Talk soon,
Dave Brill

I'm in.

I'm a normal 9 to 5er though, so weekends are best for me.

Let me know.

Yeah, me too.. more like 7-5/6/7 or later during the week. Weekends will definitely be best.
I think I'm supposed to head out and letter (put grafix on) both Scott's FJ and Jon's Toyota hood next week. Either sat or Sunday. However, I am open on whatever the other day is... in essence, I'm open both days next weekend... actually, if both Scott and Jon came up to the garage in Wallingford, I could letter their rigs and do the Cherokee and Turtle and Grey Runner work all on the same day... as long as people got there early enough.
What say ye, those who have been named and not yet named?
Thanx!

Talk soon,

I could probably swing Saturday for a while. Sunday is out because JD is at school and I can't chain the kids to the parking lot to keep them out of trouble. I'll mark my calender tentatively for Saturday Dave...

as far as I know, at this point, I've got nothing planned next weekend.

I'll check with the boss.

I agree with you Jon. That was my intent...

Dave, what time is best? Do you want to do this before the wrenching???  I'll make sure I wash the FJ before Saturday morning too...

Sat might be out too, if Axle has re-scheduled that NRA safety class that 5 of us are supposed to go to...

That looks like the plan.
Scott and Jon are heading up my way to be at my garage by 9AM. They have directions if you want to all head up together. Otherwise, eamil me or them and you'll get directions. After lettering their rigs, we'll dive into my Dad's Cherokee and any other projects we feel we want to.
Thanx again guys for heading up.
So, who all is coming up?
Al, Scott, Jon, Jeremy, Chief KP..?  yes, no, anyone else?
Talk soon,
