BigDave....A snow storm won't bother me..don't mind driving in the snow at all..unless the road is closed or such.
Looks like I would turn west when I hit the freeway from 195?

Your shop may be clean now, but wait until Sunday morning. Moose chili all over the walls and ceiling, and everything turned over and upside down from me and Gramps lookin' for those sheds.

Gramps,

I've been hearing that the bulk of the snow will come Saturday night into Sunday, but you never know. As you approach I90/Spokane get in the Left lane on 195 and you will be on a little curly-cue on ramp that will send you westbound on I90. Exit HWY 2 at the top of the hill and follow the directions. No problem

Depending on the spice of the chili you may want to have a squat box and some surplus mountain money ready

How many chairs you guys thinkin I need to try to get my hooks on? How about bean bags

Bones, where are you finding the python cables? I've been to a couple of places and can't seem to find one. Thanks

Machias · « **Reply #282 on:** January 22, 2009, 07:27:12 PM »

Weather is looking good, the snow is now scheduled to arrive Sat night into Sunday. Yea

bigdave · « **Reply #283 on:** January 22, 2009, 08:09:49 PM »

Guys,

I'm really lookin' forward to Saturday. Don't forget to bring your coffee cup! I do have a fridge if you want to bring sodas. Anyone on here know how to make cornbread? It goes great with chili! See ya soon!

Tonight, I wired two shutter assemblies in a half an hour. One of those is for Grizzly 95's W55. The other was a spare assembly for a W80. So, it should not take too long to get everyone's camera wired Saturday.. I have already told you this, but you need to already have the foam liner removed from the lid before Saturday. Put it in the freezer for a couple of hours, then peel it out.
Everyone needs to bring a plastic container for their camera parts. A small margarine or Kool Whip tub works great. It is also good to have the lid.
The plastic container in this picture is a Kool Whip container. I like to line my container with a couple of coffee filters. The filters make it easier to pick up the small screws and it protects the camera parts.

I have three small screwdriver sets and Gramps has one. Everyone will take their own camera apart. I will show you how to do this with Dave's camera. This takes 5 minutes. I will use the shutter assembly that is already wired to reassemble Dave's camera right away. Then Gramps will show Dave how to drill his case and put it together. We will be bringing all of the tools necessary to do everything. Mark was nice enough to send me two extra boards and extra servos and other parts. I will be sending what we don't use back to Mark. If anyone wants to buy one of these boards or any of the parts, I will send the money to Mark. It was nice of Mark to send this stuff in case we need anything.
We will not be able to completely finish everyone's camera in one day. But all cameras will get wired, and all cases will be drilled and set up. I will use Dave's camera to show how to do the Bondo and paint. Everyone that comes will know how to do everything to build one of these cameras. Gramps and I are leaving here at 5:00 am Saturday, so we will be there between 8:00 and 8:30. Building these cameras is fun, and you guys will really enjoy learning how to do this.
See you Saturday
