I am planning to leave Friday late morning/noonish to head to Diesel Innovations with the trailer in tow. Don't know from there what time im leaving DI, but will then be headed over to Baytown to stake a claim on a piece of parking lot....probably after rush hour. (Does rush hour ever end in Houston?
)
Jared is coming with me and will be bunking with me. I know Mike and Evan will be staying with us in the top queen. BrIan has claimed a bed. And we still have a bed and more floor space for anybody that wants to use it. Generator and plenty of water will be onboard!
Tentatively planning to leave Sunday when the events are done and head back to Big D.
There should be quite a few guys from DTR coming around. For those going to Tyler's place......when you get to Baytown, come on by and say hi and have a cold one!
Hopefully we can meet some new guys and make some new friends!

I'm in...
Gotta change the oil on the truck sometime on Friday morning, then I'll be headed south. Hopefully I'll get away early enough to miss rush hour wherever I go.

Its been a long time since I have gotten to hang out with you guys and I have been really looking forward to this event. I am going to try my hardest to make it down, but I cant make any promises. My mother flys in Friday for the only weekand she has before my brother and I deploy so she wants to hang out, but I am going to see if maybe she would be interested in making it down for a few hours and meeting some of you guys. Shes the coolest mom ever who loves this sorta stuff so I am hoping things work out well. Also my new box should be in this Friday so hopefully I can get the CAT delete put on before I come down and if possible maybe one of you guys could help me put on my AFE stage 2 for some beer if were on some downtime.. I will let you guys know though.

Mike, I'm thinking it'll be next weekend before I can get the hardware for the plate, but otherwise I like it, thanks.
It was good to see everyone again and to put some more faces with names.

Glad you like it, Matt
Sorry y'all had to rush off - I was busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kickin' contest fixing parts!
PM me your address and I'll ship the SS hardware you need to mount that fuel plate so it looks real purty...

Great time in Houston!
Hope Mike made lots of good contacts....he sure was in demand for his welding!
Charlie couldn't make it....hope all is going well in Round Rock, with the family?
Robert...thanks for the shade and the place to hang out. Was an excellent idea bringing the hauler!
Great meeting some new faces and seeing the once a yr people we only see there.
I left tools...wheels.... and tires scattered around Houston! Will be a miracle if they all find their way home;
but, no complaints, that's what helping out is all about!
Long six hrs getting home..... but I deserve pain & suffering for being so stupid friday night at the track!
Hope the Houston members...get that DTR club going!! Good luck Sam!

Good seeing everyone again. Hope that everyone made it home without any trouble...
I managed to cover the ~300 miles back home in 4 hours 10 minutes, including the standard slow traffic leaving Houston on 45 and a fuel stop. Gotta love finding a good group of traffic to run with.
