I'm going to start early-ish. I'm going to shoot for 8, but with a little one running around, it may be a few minutes later. I'll keep going until I'm tired of working on the car, I suppose. Once the suspension is done, I have hoses I can do, brakes to bleed, transmission fluid I could change, fuel filter, etc...although my guess is I'll stop at the suspension.
I'm just planning on putterin' in the garage most of the day. I'll probably throw some stuff on the grill at some point, dogs, some buffalo'd chicken. If anyone feels like volleyball, or the pool, we can do that, too. There are 2 sand courts in my neighborhood.

Well, my family will be here, of course. Not sure if anyone else is bringing anyone along. I have no objections to family attending.

My wife and kid are going to hang out with mom in law for the day so they will not be attending.

Where is my invite. Sometimes I think _guy is right about you (db).
miT, I'll have a complete set I think. I do have a 21mm. 1/2" drive. My deepmwells, that are applicable, are all 1/2". Not sure if space is an issue.
