I'd suggest we make the "old plan" run more smoothly before trying to change it
up significantly...

Pizza always seems to be a hit on Friday.

A build-up takes considerably more time (I got with ron last year and we tried
to video some build-up action. It took a pretty long time and that was with
nobody watching even). Perhaps if he brought a bunch of tranny parts and
detailed some of the finer things, like syncro construction, identifying failed
syncros, etc. Whatcha think, ron?

Passat hood, eh? I guess it'll be sitting on the kia side of the drive then? I
knew I should have kept the old Rieger hood...

> Videos on the garage wall.  Thumbs up?  Thumbs down?  Don't care?

Thumbs up of course, but we need to identify who will be doing it ahead of time,
so the various people can throw their vids into the pot(laptop) before the fun
begins. I seem to recall there being just a teensy bit of tension last year :).

> Also for Saturday - backyard mayhem?  Should we do anything

One word - fahrvergnugen , or funkengruven , or whatever "vw dude" thing that
might look spiffy from the Cessna.

Yup, cruise is good...

> Anyone else?  :p

Excitement? That may very well be an understatement... Heck, Cincy is the thing
that prompts my camera upgrade cycle each year!
