Don, The group usually hops between Hammerhead's and Moondog's, then onto The Boiling Pot for dinner. All locations are within a 1-2 block walk of the Lighthouse Inn, 200 S. Fulton Beach Road, Rockport/Fulton. T

Bring a cheesy fold up beach chair for the Texas Mile, unless you want to stand all day. T

Looks like the boat trip isn't happening. Just got back from a couple of days on Galveston Bay and wasn't getting full power. I think I have a fuel pump issue. Runs good at low speed, but definitely need need full power to make the trip. Still might show up at some point, still weighing the options....

Thanks to you also Tony for letting us run free on the shooting range. If any of you are in the Rockport/Corpus/fulton area, stop in to http://www.aransasfirearms.com/ and see the crew. Great people and nice facilities.

Had a blast this weekend even though we didn't get to the mile, got to hang out at Hermans Man Cave and boat instead. Was a great time seeing everyone, as always.

Thanks to Tony and his wife for putting it together and to Roger for the sponsorship.

Michelle and I will pile on our thanks to Tony and all the Sponsors for a great weekend. We love this annual get together on the coast. The Texas Mile was a lot of fun, and Dinner Saturday night was simply outstanding! Herman's boat was icing on the cake. Awesome weekend of 928 fun.

AlKada.

I promised to send you some pictures of my TT installation. Due to the size of the transfer, I'll send them to your email address via www.wetransfer.com . Tomorrow
Expect an email from "wetransfer" You may have to check your junkmail folder.
If anyone else is interested, let me know at: peter@dacsinc.us. I'll copy you.

Default sorry i missed it

Sounds like a fun time, but there has to be more incriminating pics! Actually thought I was going to make it this year, o well, will try again next year, and may pop in on Tony/Herman sometime the summer. The boat just had a dirty distributor, but there were other family issues the came up due to my daughters taste for adventure in 3rd world countries. Next year!

Peter, I have multiple TT jobs in my future as well, so please send pics. Never done the job before.

Once again, Lynda and I had a great time in Rockport. The Texas Mile was fun, and we enjoyed spending time with everyone there. Thanks Tony for hosting and arranging everything, and thanks to 928sRus, Piranha Bros, and the 928 OC for their support.
