Good pics Wayne.....Along with the install from DIY/FAQ forum, a pair of pliers, a screwdriver, and an 8 & 10mm sockets, should be more than enough to do an install.

Balzz, some improper installs allow the thick part of the clamp to come close to, and touch the A/C line causing ware, and eventually a hole in the line.
Installing the clamp correctly, and rotating it away from the line, helps avoid this issue.

Hahaha I love it.

Geez it still seems like winter here. -1 and 80km winds now w/chill is -10. Fortunately snow is gone except for a few banks by the road.

Yeah I'm sure more of us would like to be there too. oh well.

 

Talking of meets....What's the latest on your possible business trip to Fla. in early June?
Is the meet with Shane, Jeremy, and you still a go for that time, or will it have to be rescheduled? My trip east isn't set in stone by any means yet, so I'm flexible, altho my friend in Lunenburg who runs Pelham House B&B will get very busy toward the end of the month, but I'm sure I can work around that.

Colin

 

The Florida trip is still tentative . I hope to have determined before I leave for Boston April 16. I haven't corresponded with anyone else about my June schedule until I firm it up. In any event I'm trying to leave the first few weeks of June open. I'll be sure to post as soon as my plans are worked out. I'm juggling a lot of different possibilities right now.

 

Is this still on for Sunday?

 

It sure is Digger. GSM assured us it is going to be a nice day. Well maybe he just said think positive for the weather.
Wayne

 

I look forward to hearing about your June schedule. It sounds like there's much on your plate, tho, at the moment. We'll get a meet in one way or t'other-- no worries.

Digger, Ya man, Sunday is a go, and it'll be a real special day.

Hey all! Pencil me in as pending. I'm coming off of nights that day so I usually dont get up that early. See how it goes, also i'm weather pending as well. Hope to see you all there!

 

I just checked the weather report for Mississauga.
Rain turning to wet snow Friday night.
Saturday 10-15 cm snow . I thought the spring snowstorms only happened in Deanes side of Canada .
Sunday cloudy, high of 10 C, pop=40%
Not the best of weather reports , let's hope the weatherman is totally wrong.

But it is still dry on Sunday.
Wayne

 

If the weatherman is right, we'll hang him!

 

YIKES!-- What the heck is that...... 15-20 cm of snow between Friday night and Saturday night. -- That's a lot of snow.

You're right Wayne, not the best forecast. Rain is one thing, but snow, and that much of it, might make things a little bad for driving, even on Sunday!, and especially for the long distance attendees.

We'll have to see how things unfold for sure -- If conditions are bad, and we get the forecasted snowfall, driving might be very hazardous, since most have removed snow tires. I don't want anyone taking chances driving anywhere on Sunday if conditions dicatate staying home, then let's put the meet off for a week.-- That's no big deal right?
Better to be safe than sorry guys and girls.

Let's watch how this goes, and play it by ear. I certainly don't want anyone taking any chances.

BTW everyone , in case you haven't heard yet or may have forgotten, the clocks 'Spring' ahead one hour Saturday night/Sunday morning.


Colin

 

I agree Colin. I think that we should postphone until next Sunday if that is OK with our
other members.

Politicians and weathermen, just who can you believe these days?????

RBull, you don't have any magical powers do you and have sent all this expected bad weather our way????? Things that make you go Hmmmmm?

Cheers!!!

 

Yeh man, it's disappointing, but only a minor setback. All it means is waiting another week or 2.....no big deal.
As I said b4, I don't want anyone taking any chances driving in crappy, snowy weather on Sunday. Everyone has removed their snows now, so driving on Summer Michelin Pilots, or even on all seasons, is not good at all.

If this forecast holds true and we get this 'major dump', I'll be announcing a postponement for our April 3rd Sunday meet, and put it off to another weekend.
I've spoken to Wayne - (GEE35X), and we both feel that this would be the most prudent move. Everyone's safety is much more important than a meet.

Stay tuned and let's see how the weather unfolds. I'll announce something tomorrow...

Colin (GSM)

 

I agree with Colin, a lot of people have taken off their snows and put their summer performance tires back on (I'm ok I've got my X...hehe ) but it would be better to have it another weekend, there is no sense on taking chances, and we do want favourable weather so we can admire each others rides. It's not much fun if just a few show up with salt covered cars.
What do you other guys think ?
Wayne

 

Nice try Wayne. We're done with our snow and I didn't send this one to you either. That wouldn't be a nice thing to do with your meet planned and all.
It looks like you boys may be having a delay on that.
