Here is a quick map.

The shop is at the corner of Miller Rd 2 and Beaumont Highway (Business 90).

I'm sure someone posted this before, but be sure to post some pics for those of us not privy to such Texas-style good times!

I think it's about time for a belt change on the NA. But since it would be my first experience with changing them myself, it might take longer than Geo is planning on being at his shop. Hopefully we can at least look at them and determine if they really need to be changed.

Oh, and I may be helping a friend move that Sat morning, so I may be late to the shooting range.

Matt, yes, we can certainly get started early (assuming we don't stay up TOO late Saturday night (God, I'm getting old). In fact, I'd like to get started early.

Brian (and everyone) , unfortunately, this shop will not lend itself to working on other cars. There isn't really even a place outside the shop to do it, although we probably could do a belt job in front of the building on Sunday. That wouldn't take too long and the car wouldn't take up too much driveway space.

Kerry and I will be there.

IIRC the shootemup is at 2:00, right? We have a 21 mile run we need to attend (we have to man the watering holes, er aid stations) for Team in Training. Not sure when the last walker will be in.

As for Sunday, the car is in the shop and currently on dollies. They're cool. Move the car around wherever you want. We might even have tunes on Sunday. The fridge has a case of beer in it and 12 Redbull, all with back-up. The water cooler is up and running. No microwave yet, nor AC. The compressor will probably not be hooked up yet unless I get a wild idea some night this week.

Keith, I'm still listed as a MAYBE for Saturday night. I'm on for Sunday, I'll look up the directions that Geo posted.

Just picked up a new grill tonight (cook out kind - not for the front of the truck or anything ). I'll be up late tommorrow building the monster. Joyce and I have been looking for a few weeks and I finally settled on the best unit with price as a consideration. Also bought Bandit an air conditioner - man that dog is spoiled. I'll be building him an AC'd dog house over the next few weeks - should be fun, heck I might even brick it to match the house!
