Rochester / S.E. MN

Good to see you've been busy! I came up with some events I'd like to get too. Missed one already, but hopefully I'll hit a few this summer. http://www.mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24509

 

You should at least come for breakfast. It's been forever since we've seen you or your beautiful car! Aric and I would be in for some morning feast!

 

Where would we meet for breakfast!? When is this again, the 7th??

We should have some one enter Car of the Month. I think Lee should enter again. Unfortunately they want a video to accompany the entry. Maybe they'll get desperate and change back to the old rules, then I may enter. I would need new pictures of my car and I broke my digital camera this weekend playing mini-golf.

I'm thinking Baker's Square on 52 North. Yes, it's the 7th. If you insist.

 

Me thinks you have fat fingers???

Translation: Where the hell is 54 North?

S

 

i'd definately be down for breakfast at the square seeing as its only 3 blocks or so away....

have we figured out what time we are meeting the city folks for the cruise and what time we're leaving roch and i guess now what time the morning shenanigans at bakers square will start????

 

Fat fingers, eh? Have you seen my hands? I'm better than a wire-grabber. You know all those people who put duct-tape on the end of screwdrivers for retrieving screws/bots? I DON'T HAVE TO!!!

I suppose we should have breakfeast at 630 hrs and try to leave by 745 hrs at the latest.

 

Anyone remember meeting a guy named Matt? He has blue 04 WRX. I met him at the golf course yesterday and he was asking me questions about my exhaust (Maddad Whisper), seemed like a cool guy.

 

He used to be on here, I forget his sn, but its been awhile. I think that was back when he had his RS. Good guy

 

There was another pat I thought too that came last year to the lax cruise. Or maybe nick?? I don't remember his name but he drove a blue wrx. ??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!!!!

 

Who's up for some brunch at the green mill on sunday around 11. we'll discuss the LaX cruise n stuff.

 

Thanks for the "Happy Birthday"!

I'm out of the area on vacation.

Won't make brunch!

Definately interested in breakfast before the LAX run though.

Steve

 

that was me.... I donno if I can make it for the laxcruise. I have to be in the cities by4 that day so I might just go up for Cars and Coffee. Anyways I'm back in town and look forward to meeting up again.

 

also Happy birthday honda boy!!!

 

so, was anybody interested in green mill or what?

 

durrr, ok. I'm game.

 

We both work tomorrow. so that would be a no.

 

well, i'll be there @ 11

 

No guarantee I'll be there.

 

josh im at the shop if you want to come heckle and maybe check out my nasty hail damage.. i be here till 5

 

hail
i got so lucky on that....

 

yep the whole car got hit..even my doors

 

^---- Ouch, when did that happen? Last night? There was only a VERY brief blast of hail and it was not even pea sized so it wasn't really a worry.

-Steve

 

:emo: It happened Friday night when it hailed in Rochester. Up by our house the hail was the size of big bouncey balls.

:eek4: Man I picked a good week to go on a road trip to Nebraska! Man that's a bummer.

-Steve

 

so do we have a set in stone plan for the day of the cruise?

i figured it would be a good time to ask.

 

meet, drive, meet more, eat, leave

 

ok, so here it is.... the group from IGH should hit zumbrota about 9:45 so people can either meet there around 9:30ish or join @ bakers square and leave from there about 9:15. What time were we gonna meet @ bakers square?

 

Let's plan on 800hrs then. That should give us an hour and 45 minutes to eat and drive.

 

sounds good to me!

 

meet (8am), eat(Bakers Square), drive(to zumbrota), meet(cities group), drive(to LaX), meet(people), eat(food), play(kickball - or watch), drive(home).
fill in times and locations.

Also, SteveW or Lee, could we pull logs off my car sometime before LaX? And, anyone willing, I'll need help with bleeding my brakes before the 14th.

 

Also~ Don't forget to give me your info for the Lax Slips! So you get one made!

 

you had me @ "willing"

 

I suppose you'll want to do your lines then too?

 

I dunno, we'll see .

 

Wheres a good cheap place to get oil changed... I dont have any equipment at this time and have never had to worry about doing it myself.

 

dunno bout cheap but i use Mister on 37th (formerly mobil 1). i have a pile of $10 off coupons.

 

Just met a mechanic (Chris?) from Viking Nissan - said full oil service (non synthetic) was $16. He has a boosted honda, lives by me.

or buy the oil/filter and swing bye my place, I'll show you how to do it.

 

trborex if you wanna run synthetic and are gonna take pat up on the offer, swing down to advance and see me and i'll set ya up with mobil one oil change for like 26 or 28 bucks

or if you want just conventional oil, the antichrist better know as walmart usually has the best price on it

as far as oil change places grease monkeys are pretty decent people... never had my oil changed there but i deal with em a bit at my job, however i don't know how competitive their prices are

 

Grease Monkey is 32$. I go there just because I'm comfortable there and I know the owners. Plus, they are usually good about getting me in and it's between work and home for me!

 

Car X is a good place too. Just tricky to get in!

 

If you need it done, just pick up the stuff from Jason at Advance and drop my my place too, I've got everything you need as well. Send me a PM for further instructions.

 

All

I'm afraid I am going to have to bail on the cruise.

We're on our way back from vacation today and Tami just found out yesterday that her trip to the Netherlands for work just got approved yesterday and she leaves Saturday afternoon. She is going to be gone for a full week so I want to take her up to MSP on Saturday afternoon.

Sorry to be a hand raiser but this week and the next several are crazy for us.

I've paid for the cruse for myself so someone could pretend they are me and eat twice.

Steve

 

so you're saying you don't need a ride to the cruise? ok
