Once again we are hosting the very first GTG of the new year on New Year's Day, 1/1/2017!
Festivities will start @ 9am-ish and go to 10pm-ish on 1-1-2017.
HO5G rules apply remember if you feel the need to fill the town's coffers with your hard earned cash do so at your own risk by driving DUI or speeding. The chief of police lives 3 doors up from the HO5G and he will be glad to accept your contributions.
A few notes about our GTG format:
#1 – ALL newbie’s:
By newbie’s I mean all of you that we don’t know. Just because you've been here doesn't necessarily mean we know you! You need to ‘check in’ with us and get a name tag. This is our home and we would like to know who’s here!
#2 – Food & beverages: It's not fair to expect the same people to provide the bulk of the food!
Bring items we all share. We provide propane and grill.
#3 – Work
Garage space as always is first come, first served there is a lift list. Big jobs need to be cleared by us first. As always – NO timing belts unless done by a pre-approved (i.e. mrchill, HermTDI) or a veteran approved club member. Those arrangements MUST be made in advance with us & the person doing the work.
Bring the TOOLS and FLUIDS that you'll need for the job! We have a brake bleeder and oil extractor available. Bring containers for your fluids! (We have a relatively shallow well for water so fluid spills are unacceptable.)
ALL WORK IS TO BE COMPLETED BY 10pm
We enjoy opening our home and warm garages to you...all we ask for is a little courtesy and respect in return. As my sign says: BE NICE OR GO AWAY!
Now back to our regularly scheduled GTG - bring your tools, to do lists and a little something to share food/drinkwise!
Bring food, bring drink, bring tools and bring good weather!
The garage will be warm and the lift ready - clear all lift jobs w/ PeterV!
Hope to see you there (I mean here!)
PeterV & Hamsterdiesel
PS - Stay tuned to this post #1 for updated info!
Update #1 I will post addy just before the GTG .... there are BOTS out there that look for info...

This could be a decade anniversary of Ho5G grill duty.

Haru is welcome.

Hay! The best I thought I was the original grill master! Well after a couple of years hiatus, I should be able to make it this year! I've been out of work now for 4 months with a back injury (Long story) anyway I'm scheduled to return to work first week in January..what better way to celebrate my return to the workforce then to have a HO5G Reunion!

And just over 10 years for Jason and me. We met for the first time at your place one snowy (understatement of the decade) November evening in 2006. :cool:

Probably not driving long distances by myself tends to be a problem for me....
If you have the time off, we can offer a ride. Heading up on the 31st, heading home on the 2nd.

Lisa and I won't be able to make it (again). :( I will be driving back to NH from Cocoa Beach FL on 1/1/17. I will be doing the drive straight thru like I did to and from TDIfest earlier this year.

If I'm around, I'll surely be there. I was just thinking about the 1st of the year a few days ago in one of the idle moments of my day. It slows down but it never stops...:)

Tomo, I see a Model S with autopilot in your future...just be careful with it.

Perhaps there will be snow on the ground here.
