I'm in for the pulls in Alvarado on the 23rd, and I want to know what time they start/when anyone is planning on leaving to head up there. Just an idea, but maybe we could do some sort of convoy thing depending on what everyone is doing. I'm willing to drive up there if somebody doesn't want to drive themselves, but I only have room for one person.

Randy, is there any chance you are available this coming Sunday, the 17th? If so and you feel up to it, I'll be in town and we could try to tackle that housing if you're available.

Ill be staying at my ranch between the dyno and pulls so i wont be in the convoy, but i will be there. As for sunday, I dont know yet....(just got your voicemail). Im hoping to have my truck done before then, but not sure yet. I wont be in ville, but if you want to drive out to the ranch you can.

My truck is coming along slowly, gotta finish mounting the intercooler, and mount a new condenser on tuesday, then when my last elbow comes in Ill be ready to weld my tubes up.

I'll be headed up to the dyno on Friday and then I think convoy down to Alvarado that night, depends on where TexasCTD sets up his trailer but I think its at the pulls, but as of now I don't know when I'll be leaving.

Randy, I can probably drive out to the ranch and also help with some of the intercooler stuff if you need it.

Where is the dyno event taking place on Friday/what time does that start? Is anybody staying up in that area Friday night between the dyno event and the pulls? It would be nice to not have to drive back and forth so much if possible.

This is where it's at, I don't totally trust Yahoo maps after its diversionary tactics going to Houston but it'll get me close enough to get phone directions from DTR #8 members.
Anybody needs to reach me that day 432-213-2483

i had AMAZING control at practice tonight. Pitched better than the junior that was there. Elbow is my concern. my muscles are the least of my worries. 2 innings and my elbow is almost shot. haha the joys of highschool sports!

I feel like an old fart, its been 8 years since I've been on a baseball field, and 10 since I pitched in a game.

on a side note, did anyone hear about the girl from here killed in the fourwheeler accident?

No, didn't hear a thing about that. (I usually just get local news from the gossip chain at work)
