Subject: quick PNW FSJ fest#2 update
Eddie's coming with Ol' White!!!!
Gord is trying to get clearance for takeoff...
so as it stands now, 2 from Idaho, 1 from Oregon, 1 from BC,
and more than an FSJ load around here...
THESE ARE GONNA BE SOME VERY COOL AND HISTORIC PHOTOS!!!
(I'm gonna request your patience, I'm gonna take a lot of photos from
a lot of angles with two or three cameras in order to get the PERFECT
picture, suitable for framing, scanning or publishing... I need to
find a place where all the FSJ's can park with a scenic backdrop and
a place where I can shoot down.... hmmm... the Jr. high??? hmmm,
(gears turning....)
We might contact Guiness and see what the record is for the most
FSJ's in one place is... :-)
You guys in the LONEstar state are really gonna have to work hard
to find this many FSJ's... I suspect that if you deed over an oil
well or two some of us PNW type FSJ'rs might come down to help ya
out... :-) Best wishes on an even BIGGER FSJ gathering down there.
The objective here is visibility to gain aftermarket goodies for our
rigs... if we can show vendors there is a market, we'll have
options...
I'm really grateful to be a part of this whole FSJ thing... what a
trip. We've got guys all over the country that will freely send
parts, info and help all over... We've got Joe in Indy giving up
time and going broke shipping decals below cost, we've got Michael in
Reno dismantling and mailing FSJ's all over the place, we've got
Super Ken sending videos and other goodies all over, we've got doc
slaving away on the IFSJA for nothing more than the glory and the
challenge, we've got folks all over the country that will copy, scan
or fax everything from pictures to books... and then there's that
guy studying MECHANICAL engineering that drove from Coast to Coast...
killing his wagoneer in the process... and showing me what a REAL 81
Wagoneer grille is supposed to look like... :-)
....and then you hear some half-wit newscaster squawking about how
corrupt and rotten the internet is... I suppose if you look for
slime and dirt, you'll find it, but my experience on the internet has
been wonderful, mainly because of folks like you!!!
"Unto the pure, all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled
and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience
is defiled." (Titus 1:15, KJV)
And as I always say, if ignorance is bliss, this place must be
paradise... :-)
y'all take care, it's time to get a few hours sleep before I go and
play with the computers in Issaquah... (setting up a K460, 2
processors, 768 meg, 100 base T, hp-ux 10.2, 80 gig...(need more,

Alisa, I've noticed an interesting parallel to your writing and that

IT is a shame about all the lawsuits... everyone looking for

For many years automotive paint *was* applied with brushes. The stuff was called DuLux if I'm not mistaken. With this stuff it took several days for the factory to paint a car. However, the paint was excellent. It went on thick and was self leveling. More like smooth Rhino-Lining than todays ultra thin coatings which do little to protect against dings. You could put an impression in it with your fingernail, and the impression would quickly disappear... They changed to sprayed paint in the 50's (my dates may be a little off here), not because it was any better, but because it was a lot faster. Now they could paint a car in a few hours and hence, produce a lot more cars. JB "Any man who would trade liberty for security deserves neither." Benjamin Franklin[Back to Top]

Usually they don't bother vehicles like wags, mostly just pick ups. In eastern WA in the 70's they would pull a pick up over if it didn't have a Gross weight sticker visible on each side of the rig. Even the little toy trucks had to have 'em (4000gvw). Some people put 8000gvw signs on a 1/2 ton rather than 6000 but if a cop stopped you, you'd better have it licensed as a 3/4 ton (more expensive tabs). Most of this came about from people hauling fire wood with seriously overloaded trucks. Regards, -jj[Back to Top]

Subject: re: too many pop tarts
WAY too many pop tarts.... axle weights ALWAYS add up to WAY more than
actual vehicle weight...
example: last time Timex was weighed:
front axle: 3079 lbs.
rear axle: 4103 lbs.
total 7183 yeah, right....
actual weight, both axles on scale: 5337 lbs.
that XJ probably weighed about 3200-3600 lbs as a guess.
BTW... 4800 lbs would probably break an XJ in half.

Gee, guys, she FINALLY fingered out how to fit her lines on one computer
screen, and now y'all're picking on her for THAT?!?!
Good job! She deserves it!

Aw, c'mon, Mike, quit being a spoil sport.... we're having fun picking on
Alisa!
Oh, and for her benefit.... everything's always looked fine to me, too...
but like I'm gonna let THAT keep me from participating in the great
FSJ-List project of May 1997? Besides, if we weren't picking on Alisa,
we'd be picking on John! <snicker>

Subject: NE FSJ get-together
Just a quick note to the full list. The first ever/not to be missed
(and certianly not to be outdone) NE FSJ get-together is goin happen
this Sun (6/1) at the Barre Falls Dam recreation area in Hubbardston MA.
Hubbardston is in east/central Mass - northwest of Worcester. We'll be
bringing a full flock of the beasts together, getting aquatinted,
trading war stories, munching down BBQ, and maybe exploring some of the
back roads 'n trails in the area. We're planning on gathering the flock
around 1 in the afternoon.
If you haven't been contacted off list by Steve Levine (NE FSJ
coordinator) and would like to participate please contact Steve at
yinadril-at-juno.com or me at phil_horton-at-avid.com. We can provide
directions 'n stuff.
Should be a great time. We'll get some group shots for the sites.
BYOW(rench)
take care

From: "Dennis M. \"Doc\" Fariello" <fariello-at-inspace.net>
Subject: RE: waaaay too many pop-tarts, and not enough sleep
A clarification of my previous message regarding weights, if y'all
please... a couple of things, actually. First off, I took a look at the
address where Timex was weighed then, and remembered that the scale sits
below grade there, so the individual axle weights were higher due to weight
transfer, not being level. It was at a recycling yard, and the yard
pavement was about six inches higher than the scale, if memory serves.
Found a weight ticket from when I made a dump run out in Phoenix, the
scale there is level with grade, I think, but didn't get axle readings, so
it doesn't matter... with toolboxes, ladder rack, and the discarding
remnants of the contents of my parents' garage, she clocked in at 5957 lbs.
Found a couple from the dump here in Borelando, one with axle readings,
one without. The one without I think was when I was hauling cinder
block... lots of cinder block... 6736 lbs! One from god only knows when,
it's faded so bad I can't read the date, but it does have axle readings...
5302 total, 2615 front, 2687 rear, so they do add up, if the scale is level
with grade, as it is here. I don't even know for sure if that's from
Timex, it could have even been with another truck; I have no idea how old
that weight ticket is.
So, John, sorry for getting your blood pressure up <grin>, and sorry for
the misinformation, guys. My boo-boo.
Would y'all believe I actually got out of bed and rummaged around my
office files till I found these tickets, because it was driving me nuts,
thinking about it? True....
And now that that's cleared up, I'm going back to bed... gotta work
tonight, as usual... but I'm off tomorrow (Friday) night! First Friday
night I've EVER had off with this company (3 1/2 years, minus the two
months I was consulting earlier this year)!
<yawn>

Any ideas when to go?
If anyone else wants to get in on this, speak (or type) now.

Subject: Re: Shopping List
Henry... Due to the failure of a valued tool, I'm going to ahve to
replace it (~$80) in the next month, so the radiator and other parts
that don't have to do with appearance take priority. I'm waiting
on some measurements from a fellow on a radiator he has, and I just
found out that one of the local yards MIGHT have one.
You've got my list, so PLEASE keep an eye open and feel free to
put a list of what you have (from my list) together along with
prices, and I'm SURE I'll be able to start thinking about those
items again in th near future.
Most of what I'm looking at now (other than the radiator) is store
bought stuff (ie battery cabling, secondary wiring, elect-fan,
hoses, and the like)...
