You mentioned about possibly a different building this time. Will there be room for tents inside?

Andy, and all,
Kevin the fairgrounds manager has not said for sure either way. In any case, he has not mentioned where he would move us to.
I am hoping (praying, too) that we will be able to use our regular area, maybe with a work-around. I am a creature of habit, and I also believe it is the best space for us to use. I count on having that building.
That said, we will make it work whatever the details.

Ok guys. Sorry to make this all happen last minute. We just survived the start of ice season this year followed by a busy Memorial Day holiday week. So Last Minute it is.
Jakob and Naomi are already on the road headed north. Most of the rest of us will leave out sometime before breakfast.
I will post the agenda in the next post. Let me know if something doesn’t work or make sense.

Information Key (for general knowledge, for common consideration and interpritatin’):
For the sake of this schedule, meals are referred to as “breakfast, lunch and supper”.
If I were writing this for my southern friends alone, it would read “breakfast, dinner and supper”. However, as odd as it may seem to some of us that people eat “dinner” after the work day, I know that some of ya’ll might use the term “breakfast, lunch and dinner”.
One good thing for sure is that we all agree that “breakfast” is in the morning when the coffee is hot. As for the rest, it really makes little difference since it is Argos. And everyone always eats too much at Argos anyway, no matter what they call it.
Just remember, whether it’s “Lunch, or Dinner, or Supper”, the important part is that the fried chicken is in the evening meal.
Note:
Breakfast: We plan to have food available. Usually the official plan is to cook-your-own for breakfast, but someone usually ends up with a spatula in their hand cooking for everyone
Presentations: we plan to have a projector (usb) and screen, mic and speaker, computer.
Agenda: This agenda is not meant to be overly restrictive. I tried to find a balance of structure and meaningful order and the normal laid back fun weekend we’re all used to experiencing at Argos…… And to leave plenty of unscheduled time for “milling around”, “schmoozing”, “maundering”, “meandering”, “gallivanting”, “dawdling”, “wandering”, “knocking about”, “lollygagging” and getting a woodgas ride.
Let me know if something needs adjusted. See you in a few days. Billy

Billy, Thank you for the schedule. Very informative. Looks like a lot of fun!
We have some changes to the old truck.
Back to the Basics. The Red truck is now naturally aspirated. Runs better than ever.
Done with the old! If anyone wants a supercharger, I will make them a good deal
Looking forward to this weekend.

Hey Ron, do you run through the carburetor or is it separated like the Mother Earth News style?

Only if someone more tech-y than me can figure something out.
ANYONE? ANYONE?
Jesse just said something about live streaming to youtube…whatever that means.
Well my friend, as one of my drill sergeants used to say. Suck it up buttercup. LOL
Actually, I figured others would chime in and help you out if you asked them to.

Only issue is you’d have to broadcast from a laptop. You can’t stream from a phone for YouTube unless you’re a bigger channel.

If possible, l wuld just like to say hi to my old friends, phone is good if nothing else is available. As far as lm concerned there is no need for a actual live stream of the events, videos and photos will be made l am sure!

There’s always Facebook Live. It saves the broadcast to be watched again as well.

Not so much problem with the jets as having to clean the linkage and keep the plates freed up.

If nothing else Kristijan I can call you on Signal. But we should try to figure out how to make a video call work.
