Ok, so 11/1 doesn't look good for George. Matt would you be ready by Oct 18? Does that work for anyone else? Can we get James up and running by then?

I'm taking Oct 11 off to go play with the Lamborghini boys and their "Running of the Bulls" shindig. Plus it's my anniversary, and Beck wants to go look at Lambos.

Oh it BETTER be running by then.... We wont have our Oct schedule till mid Sept, but I can probably swing a weekend off. 18th, is that what we're shooting for?

Matt, we were in Denver over the weekend. Went to "Taste of Colorado" it was great weather for sure.

Update on the car: Ordered another fuel rail. Should be here by the time I go back to work on Sat. Broke the old one trying to get one of the regs off. Got new reg and damper from Paragon to put on when it gets here. That will put me back to square one. See if it starts. Pulled the fuse block way out and checked the connections on the back of the DME relay and cleaned the grounds waaaaaay up in behind the fuse block... PITA!! There was some corrosion on them too Sid....

Brazzos welcome aboard.... If you make it from Dallas to Tyler (90 miles) in a hour this won't be a cruise, fellas, it'll be a race. Be advised, in Texas now, we are on a points system for moving violations. I'm sure I jinxed myself into get my first speeding ticket, and recently got a warning by DPS for doing 75 in a 70. Sounds like fun, I'll see if I can make it!

90 Miles is about right to the Town East area.
Forgot about the points system just put in place.

hi, all, I live in houston, what is the "points system"?? We have a brand new law which says you must wear an earphone if using a cell phone in your car.

Speaking of weather report, what's it like in SE Texas this time of year? Going to be heading out for College Station this Saturday to spend about a week. Still hot out that way or does it cool of a little by now? Means the diff between jeans or shorts.

And don't expect a dip in the Gulf to cool you off, today's surf readings are 85. That's pretty warm water.

But the humidity has gone down a little. It's only 68% today. That's pretty low by our standards. We won't see temps in the 60's till December. On the bright side, I can count on one hand the times I've had to scrape frost off my windshield in the past 11 years.

94? Whoa, better pack a sweater.
I was in Waxahachie 3 weeks ago, up to 103. Man, that's when the plastic in my car starts to get a little mushy.

Yeah, but isn't that that "dry heat" I always hear so much about? You know, 120 isn't really that hot if there's no humidity? < (totally facetious comment alert)

College Station for a week? If you get a night free, c'mon down, you won't be that far away.
