It's that time again. Thursday at 7:00 somewhere. The question is, "Where?"
Ideas? Suggestions? The all-important headcount?
The weather looks like it will be cold and wet - not so favorable for riding, but great for something spicy and/or heavy!

Supposed to be west side isn't it? Can't guarantee I can make it, but what's better than chili on a cold crappy day? http://www.tolbertsrestaurant.com/ |

Forecast looks like a "cage" night. Where ever we go let's be sure to let them know we are coming. If I can help set something up just let me know. I'm biased. I like the southeast but that makes for a long drive for most folks. If u wanna come this way we can do the Cotton Gin in Crandall. Always a favorite, but we might want to save that one for a night when everybody rides. More convenient for the most folks in the mid-cities area however.

I'm beginning to wonder if we should punt 'til next Thursday when at least the forecast doesn't include frozen stuff. Anyone?

Relying on the forecast of cold, wet, and frozen + member input, the February Dinner / Meeting regularly scheduled for this Thursday 11 February has been postponed until next Thursday 18 February.
Granted, we are 9 days out, but a forecast high of 70 and sunny beats the stuffing out of a high of 38 with rain and snow. Should be able to RIDE!
Location is still TBD.

Don't know what happened to my previous post. I offered to set something up if you'd like. Thank you for demonstrating your power by this "executive order." Or you could have just appointed a czar to make those decisions and bypassed all that "election" crap. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Glad we punted, still not sure that we should not go west or central to be fair.

Hey Doc, I see two posts from you in this thread. If a third was attempted, it either didn't get posted correctly or disappeared into the ether. None of the "officers" have administrative rights and thus can not delete anyone's posts but their own.  DFG |

Yeah, yeah. And cat herding is easy, too. Here's one vote for Doc for new czar at the July elections!!! Punt = excellent idea. |

Dave can I show up even if I'm on 4 wheels ~TJ Hey TJ, any amount of wheels is fine by me! Ridden, driven, pulled, gasoline, electric, dirty, polished, chromed, (even powdercoated  ) it doesn't matter. Heck, you were there when I pushed a Walkyrie to the meeting in Ft Worth! If you show up riding a unicycle while carrying a case of Dublin Dr Pepper, I'll buy your dinner. |

I'd sure feel better riding that thing with a backrest on it. Slipping off the seat would be mighty rough.

yes, but it eliminates the need to carry TP with you.. Only going in reverse. Going forward, the belt would be coming at you and it would be hitting the fan, so to speak. |
