No, my niece has been waiting to go for years, but she could never make it nacfest weekend and now she is moving to North Carolina, so we picked a “free” weekend for her to go and it just happens to be tatas weekend.

Given the large group coming for Tatas, starting that early makes sense.
I'll have to consider either a very early start or overnighting out there in one of the hotels (like I did for the "trail of tears" run EHall put together a couple years back). Good thing the 13th is my off-friday with the current COVID work schedule, I won't have to worry about getting home from work late...

Hey, these things happen. On the bright side, sounds like you're keeping busy.
Looks like I'll be driving out Saturday morning - I broke my trip odometer on the ride home from PAJeeps two weeks ago (speed and odo still functional), so I pulled the cluster out yesterday to see what was going on with it, to see if I could fix it easily.
Not so much - the little "finger" that goes down between the tenths and miles digits in the trip had broken. Attempts to glue it were unsuccessful, and apparently when I pulled the needle out to allow me to remove the gauge face I broke the speedo mechanism, because when I put the needle back it didn't move the same way as it did before. Apparently with a 92, you cannot get at the odo/trip mechanicals without removing the gauge face, and it looks in retrospect that pulling that needle was a BAD idea.
So, have a salvage cluster en-route from the mid-west (found one on eBay last night at a reasonable price and availability from what appears to be a reputable seller). They're claiming delivery on or before Friday, which fortunately is the every-other-Friday I have off these days. So, will be transplanting the speedo module from that into my cluster, so I working speedo. Also have to install the new radio (bought a "Dual" last fcheap all, not happy with it and picked up a to replace it) and wind the line back onto the winch.
Note to self: Research the little motor that drives the odo/trip gears in these speedos so I can apply voltage straight to it to wind the odo forward to get it to match my original one plus any miles driven in the interim...

Sorry to hear, but duty calls, we've all been there! Definitely try for Rocktoberfest, should be a great time, we're looking forward to it!

Just FYI if you weren't aware, but there's a place called Dead Jeeps in New England that has a really nice site and loads of parts. Very nice people, they have helped me tremendously with random bits for Eeyore.

As it happens, I got a passenger side front seat bracket from them back when I had the driver's one fail two years ago at Rocktoberfest. Agree they're good to do business with.
I did look at them for this, but all their ebay auctions were saying deliver by 8/30. The one I bought said deliver by this , so I took the chance on it arriving in time to throw in for the weekend.
Booooo, that stinks, but work is work and parts are….well not available…lol, I feel your pain.
See you in October.
