i came up with an idea, and though id post up my idea 
how many people could make it to a meet some time this summer? around zip 97048
about an hour + from ol P town.
i was recently voted in as the master of the local grange hall,
and can use the parking lot BIG 200'+ buy 125'+ or more, and meeting hall 25' x 50'ish with out the $75.00/100.00 fee. 75 is for down stars 100 is for both floors, main hall is 2nd floor. nice "big" kitchen down stars.
ok hears my little line as master.
as the master or any other grange member will know we no longer have a in come from annual dues.
all cash taken in from the 35~ members are sent to the state level do to them razing the amount they need. so since the dues have gone up twice in the last three years and driven off 1/2 the members. we have desided to run with out uping the amount 5.00 and driving off more members
so in short for every one that has no clue what the grange is.
if any one that came could make a small donation of truly "any amount", that would help greatly in my little goal of getting $1,500/2,000 a year to keep the power, phone and doors open and are books in the black.
ok thats over.
I presented this idea at the meeting and there was no opposition at all, just them wanting to know what we planed on doing.they where not interested at all in having a engine, trans rear end taken in to the hall and tore apart and then put back in one peace.
but the idea of a glow plug slid show and IP taken apart and lade out like we had back east was seen as a ok thing.
for as long as i was there at all times, hall usage form is filled out, and they know if we are using the coking stuff/up stars floor and the no drinking rule is up held. thats about all they are concerned about.
smoking out side is permitted buy the grange, but in fire season its a no no being in forest land un less your in a auto with windows up, no matter the level of fire danger.
just that "little risk" of a state forest guy driving buy on the county road and seeing it.
the only other issue is, people finding the place and getting back home
in do time, i will get some photos up of the place.......
thats my idea 
. How about we here some imput from the NW & nocal members. what do you guy think? Are you up for it ?
alright guys thats more like it, team spirit just like in those stupid pep rallies in high school, to think they forced us to go to those things. You know I think im going back and suing them for distress 
Poor old man has to use a ramp to get in now as it is. Dog's on a trip can be a pain anyway. Luv to bring the P'up, but that might be a great scooter trip too.
one of us could put you up for the weekend It would be a cheap trip,tt
