Ya, I know but it costs me a minimum of $150 to go to the 'con and I've already been up there four times this year. I've put in at least 15 hours working up there this year so I don't feel bad about missing this one.
The SBS plates took about 5 hours of leisurely work. About 45 minutes of continuous welding however. I reccomend you totally disconnect your battery before you weld the plates on.
I may go, as wifey wants to get another 'Con run in. We'll go in from Tahoe, just like last year, but probably won't leave 'till late Friday or early Saturday morning.
