What was done to get it to fire up?  Did they pull the distributer or ??? Last I heard it was only firing on one cylinder.

  I can't believe I just found this thread ,, Duh !
I will Never forget the look on Steve's face when that Beast fired up, there were a few doughtful eye's watching I think, but, that beast has been sleeping for a Long time, was a little stiff, it just needed a few more volts (24) to spin it back to life, to smell it's breath, and it smelled alot like Berrymans B-12 ... LOL
I think it will be fine now, but you All shoulda seen the look on Steve's face ... Priceless !


I would have love to have seen that!!! 24 volts??? Seriously?  Stapped a couple of batteries together and spun it till is barked???  COOL!  I'm next ..... I think I can fix it!
.. it is what it is ... and that is how it should be!

Great find Brian. This publicity for them is just as good as more fees from our group. I am sure they are happy with our conduct and clean up after the event. The fact that we have so many people for multiple day also helps them.

Read an article today in the Star Tribune. The White Bear Lake is down about 6 feet. Jason Brown, owner of White Bear Boatworks, comments in the article that his business is benefiting from all the boat fiberglass repair work.

I'm thinking about showing up on Thursday this year too. Who wouldnt want an additional day if possible? More relaxing getting settled in and set up too.
My Cafe Press order showed up yesterday. The highlight of my week at least! Shirt and mouse pad with my 163 on it (thanks again Chris) and a hat.
Watched the video from 2010 again last weekend.
