John, can I drop off a certified cashiers check? I can't pay via PayPal since I have a PayPal business account and don't use Venmo. Sorry for making this challenging =(

You can live in the bus when you get ‘home’. Cool

I just registered for Syncro Solstice. Are any other Canucks going down to Moab?

The always delightful Mrs. Howesight will not be accompanying me and both my sisters have declined also due to scheduling conflicts. Even the dog has a scheduling conflict!

So, it will be just me this time representing the Howesight family for SS 2025. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces!

Not a Canuck but we're traveling from Whidbey Island, WA.

So maybe honorary Canadians? See you on the road.

Hey all,

Im in a bit of a pinch and am trying to figure out all my options. I am in silverthorne and my turbo is leaking pretty badly. I'm on my way to Glenwood springs today and then to Syncro fest on Wednesday. I have a turbo reseal kit in my garage. Do you know of anyone who lives in the SW Denver area, Sheridan and 285 who is headed this way? Can anyone in this vein please call or text me at 720-936-4546? I have a turbo reseal kit in my garage and extra turbos on my shed. If I could have someone swing by my place and pick them up on the way that would be awesome.

Thank you all,

Justin

Flying to Toronto instead. Mrs Howesight’s mom, (the last of our parents) has just been hospitalized. A wonderful woman who we will support. For those able to carry on (including Dave, “Ironman” O’Bryan), have a beer on me!
