Is it worth doing the last of bambi at this one, on say the Friday night?

Thats a Possibility, just got to remember if some want it who are gluten free it will have to be beer free.. also those that did not chip in will have to pay a bit more for the meat.. I have a list somewhere who put in

I am Up for a bit of bambi

 

[crosslandkelly]

Two pots then, simples.

Just remembered, we need paraffin for the lamps.

I got a Tilley for £5, need to service that
I got some net making to do, keep on meaning to do it.
do some friction fire practice - if I can be arsed
May bring some leather work.. the new Group Axe needs a Mask - but thats low on my list
want to do some DO cooking, and try some new reicpies
and a few other smaller bits, try to bring up my skills

 

[Big Stu 12]

Oh and want to get round to making a Smoker and do some smoked meat... will probably have to use a tarp or bed sheet for the cover as the woods dont have much to cover it with.

 

[crosslandkelly]

Looks like the weather wont be kind to us at the weekend, still be fun though.

 

[ozzy1977]

Do I need to bring bambi?

 

[crosslandkelly]

There's only the six of us, and no one has said yea or nay, I'd say no.

 

[amjake]

Hi All
Please accept my apologies but I will not be attending this meet now.

Hope to see you all at a future meet.
Regards
Kevin

 

[Big Stu 12]

OK Kevin, see you on another one


I would agree with Colin, no group meal this month, as there is only six of us and not much interest shown.

 

[ozzy1977]

Ok I'll leave it at home.

 

[Big Stu 12]

I am mostly Packed now.. just need the Disco to come out the Garage........

 

[ozzy1977]

I still got to pack for this weekend, and next week going up to Scarborough and another bag for a night out on the moors

I would have thought you would have done it your self Stu

 

[Big Stu 12]

Normally would, its the gasket behind the cam belt housing thats gone so the bottom pulley has to come off and the cam housing also has to, that means the water pump, and just about everything on the front of the engine has to come off, two main issues I did not want to get involved in,

1. taking the top two bolts out the water Pump they are prone to break off when they are undone and they go into the Block... so a pain if they do.

2. the bottom Pulley can be a right swine to get off with out a high Torque windy.. only know one I helped with come off with out a Large windy.. we have not got a big windy..lol, plus its hard to do unless you dismantle the rad and everything..

so its having, new oil, new water, new oil, fuel and air filters, valve clearances done, new cam belt (Kit), a new gasket, and more then likely two new bolts for the water pump.... I am looking at a rather large bill....

And all because a 50p gasket has failed.. and its doing about 30 miles to 6 liters of water.. and getting thirstier...lol...

If it was not for those two things I would have done it, its about 6 to 7 hrs work even if everything goes right, and you have not forgot anything.... silly like the new Rocker Cover Gasket as I did a few years ago...

 

[Big Stu 12]

I got a call from the Garage... I am picking up the Disco at 10am, so hopefully home and loaded up by 11ish then on the way to the Compases for 12:30

See you there guys...

 

[crosslandkelly]

Stu, did you have a word with Phil about the hardcore, after the last meet, or shall we have a word with him over the weekend.
Good news about the Disco.

 

[Big Stu 12]

Yeah Phil has no issue with us using that Hardcore to fill the holes to the entrance of the woods .
