Ok! The Bonneville NW Reunion is over. Back to work (and spread things out around the shop again).
Stainless & Johnboy came by early Friday afternoon and did a quick shop tour. Then across the river to pick up Bob Drury and go to lunch (read about in the BNWR thread). Then back to Bob's for bench racing. I headed home about 4pm to get ready for Stainless' Friday evening presentation.
The presentation was informative and thought-provoking. It has me re-evaluating the safety aspects of my car. It should be made into video and made mandatory for all car builders & drivers.
Saturday Stainless and Johnboy came by again about noon, with Stan Back tagging along. Merkur evaluation and upgrade suggestions were made (more about that when I start - soon). Then into the house for more bench racing. Beer was served:
Portland Brewing Rose Hip Gold: "A Belgian-style ale with notes of fruit and spice and a little citrusy bite from a generous addition of rose hips in the kettle."
Deschutes Brewery Obsidian Stout: "Deep, robust and richly rewarding, roasted malt and black barley give way to notes of chocolate and espresso. Smooth and black as the glassy volcanic rock fields it's named for."
Then off again to One Run Bob's. There we met Don Jackson (Salt27) and son Gus (winner of SCTA scholarship) (sorry guys, I should have invited you to my place). More beer was served courtesy of Salt27. Snacks (chips and dips and raisin cookies) were served courtesy of ORB.
Then back home to change into a shirt without salsa on it for the dinner. Sat a table with Joe & Judy A, Stainless, Johnboy, Salt27 with Mrs. Salt & Gus, John L and Stan Back. Lots of entertaining conversation to go along with dinner. Dan Warner was the featured speaker and he talked about his history with LSR and how he got into the 2 clubs.
An evening (and weekend) well worth the time spent.d
