Monthly meetup in Spokane WA/Coeur d'Alene ID (1st Sat) - Page 5 - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

HHOTDI · 09-08-2013, 09:22 PM

Hello all... I will be coming back from Portland late that day and it will be late at best, probably 9pm! If anyone wants to still meet up you still can. Otherwise, I can make it, it will just be very late that night. I will however be able to make the OCT meet and am so looking forward to meeting up with everyone! I have designed a Kamm back for my 30' travel trailer that I will be starting very soon. I also purchased a CVT Rooftop Tent and have installed it on the little TDI Beetle. I did some A-B-A testing with it up on the roof racks and it cost me 9mpg to have it up there. SO, what does a good ecomodder do...
fabricate a new rack to carry it. Get it off of the roof and out of the airstream and mount it down over the rear receiver hitch and over the rear window of course! Testing the mpg for the new rack tomorrow and I will post the results! Many blessings to everyone. :{)

Hello everyone, Our OCTOBER Meet is the afternoon of the 5th and it is on! I will be providing the special Marinated Steak for the furthest travelled EcoModder! Excited and looking forward to seeing all of you there! :{)

I plan on being there!

I'll be working that day, but should be able to make it by 3-5. Mail delivery can make planning exact times hard.

I'm thinking of bring a berry pie. Mixed berry. Sound good?!

lol Do I have to ask???

Are we still doing burgers Mike? If so, I'll grab some essentials for them.
I'll have Gluten-free bread and LARGE mushrooms for those that can't have Gluten.

The pie crust will be Gluten though... I will have to work on a new recipe to remedy that for another meet.

Lets make it for 3pm for visiting/EcoModder chat and 5pm for BBQ'ing, that way you can make it there in plenty of time! :{)

lol My mom reminded me that the 5th is not THIS Saturday, but the next! I don't know where my head has been today.

I will have THAT Saturday already off. BUT that being said, 3pm for chatting/visiting, and 5pm for food sounds GREAT!

I will be bringing the CRX.

Short joy rides are permitted, and even encouraged!
The fuel is on me!!!

lol

Count me in. If you want me to bring anything let me know.

I'm starting the Marinade tomorrow! Anxiously awaiting one of those delicious Pies I've been hearing so much about... :{)

Wow...what a great time had by all! Steaks were great, Mark brought goodies-delicious and Cherish made an Awesome 3 Berry Pie and for a special touch she carved the EcoModder Wrench into the pie-crust..! New friends made and so looking forward to next month!

Just thought I would say Hi!
Still delivering trucks for a living.

Have spent time recently in your area delivering brand new Isuzu boxvans
to Spokane, and Missoula.

Explained to co worker about long distance reward, and about berry pies..
his eyes sort of glazed over (big eater!)

I'm pretty well plugged in to my church on 1/2 of Saturdays, but wanted to let all of you in the area know I'm thinking of you when I pass through.

I do enjoy some racerboy time in the I-90 curves, even in a truck!

Aloha!

Hey Larry, if you WANT to be apart of a meet, we can bend our rules a bit to accommodate when you're passing through.

Let us know a week ahead of time, or so, and maybe we can get something put together!
Your co-worker is invited too! I'll bring a pie or two for every meet. It can be a tradition.

YUMMMMM!!!!
