The Lounge / Selling Jeep - need input on asking price
September 04, 2007, 07:30:36 PM
Cliff Notes from the last week - Deb went back to work full time effective today, WITH BENEFITS  :WOOT:  She wants a new Jeep, and since our health insurance cost just dropped $702 per month, I can't argue.  We will soon be the owners of a bright yellow JK 4dr Unlimited, and I am going to keep the LJ and sell the YJ.  NADA "clean retail" is $5275, Kelly BB "Good" is $4730.  On AutoTrader and similar places they go from $1500 up to $10k.  Am I nuts for thinking I should ask $6k for my Jeep?  It's far from perfect, and needs some more $$ to be "done right", but I have a lot of busted knuckles tied up in that thing.  But I also need a price that gets it sold by Nov 1.

The Lounge / Microsoft Publisher help needed
August 06, 2007, 03:22:33 PM
Staples called about our spotted cards - the file I gave them to use is 150dpi, she says I need to give her 300dpi to get smoother resolution.  She also suggested I use Publisher to convert to .pdf so she does not have to convert it and lose some additional resolution.  I looked everywhere, and my copy of Publisher does not have a setting to convert to .pdf, and I can't find the setting to increse the resolution.  Is it there and I am missing it, or do I need a newer/better version of Publisher?

Help!

Events / Fall Quarterly Meeting & informal trail ride

The Trolls will be hosting a fall color tour on Saturday, Oct 6 in the Gaylord/Indian River area.  This is not an event that will test your offroad skills or your vehicle, it is meant to be an enjoyable afternoon viewing the fall colors, hanging out with old friends and making some new ones.  We have a block of rooms reserved at the hotel that is hosting the Quarterly Meeting on Sunday, see the link above for more details.

The Lounge / Mounds 7/29?

It's painful to have gone all week with all that Armor All & chrome polish on my Jeep.  Anyone want to go get dirty on Sunday?

The Lounge / Endangered Species stickers
July 16, 2007, 10:45:16 PM
Mitch asked me to grab some, but I had already sent everything home with Lucas.  I e-mailed John the GLFWDA store manager tonight, he will ship me 10 of them in the morning.  If you want some let me know - but the catch is they are $3 each, not $1 like the GLFWDA stickers.  If we have any extras I'll stick them in the raffle Saturday.

The Lounge / Transmission shop referral
July 11, 2007, 11:07:39 PM
Phil's Transmission on Dort up near the race track is my new transmission friend.  They have been working on my dad's '66 Dodge and Dad mentioned my driveshaft woes.  Jerry the mechanic happens to be a Jeep guy, so I took it up there for him to work on, and we are finally fixed.  And since he pulled used parts out of the bin to fix it, my bill was $77.  Just in time for Silver Lake on Friday.

The Lounge / BL/MML installation 7-7-07
July 04, 2007, 11:23:00 AM
OK Deb bought new tires, my job is to get the Jeep ready.  Daystar 1" BL/Daystar 1" MML.  Tires will be in on Friday, so I need to tackle this over the weekend to get everything ready for Silver Lake 7-13.  I'll keep a steady supply of food and beverages during the day, stop by if you can.  

Other than running over to Harley's for his nifty little hydraulic wedge jacks, I think I have everything I need unless you know something I don't.

The Lounge / Summer Trail Maintenace
June 03, 2007, 10:32:53 PM
As you probably know already, we need to head back up to Mio for an afternoon to tackle 2 problem areas - brushing the first few miles of the trail leading out from the Muskrat Lake campground, and reclaiming the 1.5 miles on the east side of the route that Mother Nature has taken over.  June 23-24 is our club trip to Silver Lake, so I left it out.  July 14-15 is the GLFWDA summer quarterly meeting (also in Silver lake), and the following weekend is our big summer event so I left it out as well.  If we can't settle a date before the end of July, we might as well roll it into our required August trip and make it a two-day affair.
