    The Rubicon Trail, take 2--July 6-9, 2013

    ^ THIS, for sure. I was led to believe that the Rubicon would be a relative walk in the park, but reality was far different. Brett and I agreed that, overall, this trail was every bit as challenging as the Hanging Tree Trail. The Rubicon didn't have a mandatory winch waterfall near the end...

    The Rubicon Trail, take 2--July 6-9, 2013

    Day Two was to be a much shorter drive. As such, we let the late night crew sleep in a bit. Some of us went swimming in the reservoir; others just relaxed at camp and soaked up the atmosphere. It was another perfect, cloud-free day. Right next to our swimming spot, two Jeeps were camped out...

    The Rubicon Trail, take 2--July 6-9, 2013

    (My server is currently down, so I can post no photos whatsoever. I will go ahead and put the text here now; I'll edit in some pictures once I am able to do so.) Background info As is well known, I didn't make it all the way to the Rubicon in September 2012... thus I was hell-bent on making...

    time for another ham radio discussion

    Awesome--this is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I was waiting for you to comment in this thread. Oh, I'm sure I'll start a 'which radio should I buy' thread once I get my license. :D

    Hardly. That's just what I've called B&N for, well, years.

    This is definitely the way to go. As much as I would like to attend, I certainly don't want the whole group to try and mold their entire trip around little old me.

    time for another ham radio discussion

    Thanks for yet another confirmation that Tech will work for me. Today on the way to work, I stopped by Bartles & James and picked up my manual: Now I've just got to dive into it.

    I'd be happy to join in, but my Sunday schedule makes it difficult for me to make it to the start by 6pm. If we started a bit later--even by just a little--the chances of me making it will increase dramatically.

    Quarterly Training Day - July 19-20 Teachers/Volunteers needed

    BAD NEWS! Yesterday at church, I found out that I have a conflict and will not be able to make it on Friday. :(. I am sorry that I need to cancel on you; please accept my apology, Steve.

    Sorry I couldn't be there with you guys (though I would have been driving my Mustang and not a Miata).

    I was always partial to drag racing, too. Here is the reason for my screen name: I bracket raced it in RMR's Street Legal Heavy class for five years. It began bone stock, turning lowly 18-sec ETs... but after some weight loss and a few bolt-on modifications--plus a lot more boost--I got it...

    any subaru mechanics?

    Another option is Ralph. He has an independent shop in Orem (I can't remember its name, sorry) and 95% of what he does are Subarus. 801-921-6277.

    Is this the one from Centerville?

    time for another ham radio discussion

    That's not exactly what I'm trying to accomplish. On our run of the Rubicon a few days ago, we had a group of 9 Jeeps. Each one had communication equipment on board. Some (such as myself) had only a CB radio, some had only a ham radio, and a few had both CB & ham equipment. There were a...

    time for another ham radio discussion

    My recent trip on the Rubicon Trail has made me want to seriously look into getting a license. I know I asked a few (very) general questions about ham radio here in the past, but now I have some new questions. I decided it would be better to make a new thread rather than resurrect an old one...

    For you Steve

    And I just may end up asking someone here to assist me, especially now that I have the means (Suburban/trailer) to easily move it from place to place.

    For you Steve

    It's a 1991, and it has been in project status for ~ 3 years now. :( I don't want to sell it but would rather see it through to completion. What am I doing to it? Let's just say it is undergoing displacement enhancement. When it's done, the engine bay will look like this: So far I have...

    For you Steve

    I don't think I knew you liked Miatas, Steve. Did you know I have one?
