Donny is right: That is a barren stretch of pavement. Nice to enjoy the 80 MPH Legal Limit. However, sometimes it seems like there are more DPS Officers than cars & trucks. DPS are thick because Drug trafficers run I-10 due to its close proximity to Mexico

Looking forward to seeing some of my old friends at Chip's fantastic pre rally gala. I can come down early if anyone needs some last minute tweaking on their car before heading out for Texas. See you there my friends.

Thanks for arranging everything, Chip.

By the way, I will have a party of 2 but don't worry, my guest doesn't drink as much as I do.

Events Change....please read.

Gentlemen,

With HiloDave's inability to get his car shipped and other members schedule changes there are too few that can make it to my home for lunch tomorrow so I have cancelled that event. Sentimental Journey has gone on tour out of AZ for an air show. However, we will gather for dinner tonight at Don and Charlie's restaurant on Camelback Road in Scottsdale at 7 PM. Tomorrow night we're having dinner at the hideaway in Carefree, Arizona at 7 PM as well. On Wednesday morning at 7 AM we will depart from my home instead of the Marriott Old Town Inn Suites. If you don't have my home address please send a text to my cell phone at 602-430-4877 and I will provide it to you. If you need anything else please call me. I look forward to seeing you at Don and Charlie's tonight at seven. All the best.

Fort Stockton dinner Wednesday night.

Gentlemen,

Several members will be joining us in Fort Stockton, Texas for dinner this Wednesday at 7pm. I had the dinner planned at Johnny Chihuahua's where we had a nice event on the way to the last Texas Rally. I was informed today however that they have lost their liquor license and that certainly won't do so now dinner in Fort Stockton on Wednesday will be at......

K-Bob's Steakhouse
2800 W. Dickinson Blvd.
Fort Stockton, TX 79735
Phone number - (432) 336-6233

Not a fancy place but they have a full bar and the pickings in west Texas are a bit slim when it comes to fine dining. If you have any questions please call me at 602-430-4877. Cheers! :cheers

Chip's, fort Stockton, Austin all entered into my copilot Waze app. Anyone have a better GPS (warning accident, hazard police trap) navigator?

I thought of this after I got back home from a trip to CO last week.

Someone should take a GoPro and suction cup it to your front window (inside) and put the camera to take a still shot every so often. I think somewhere between 10 and 30 seconds should make a nice stream maybe. I don't know if it would flow well in city traffic but driving across miles and miles of miles and miles it might look cool.

Gentlemen,

Our GT convoy is in Fort Stockton. The GT Guy, Rich Brooks and his better half have joined us. While motoring through west Texas John Glatz got pulled over by Texas State Troopers while going about 90 mph. The officers told him they just had to stop him to look at what they considered to be the most beautiful car they had ever seen. Then they let him go after saying, "Go as fast as you need to to catch up with your buddies!". He did and was back in formation in no time. A fine day!

Chip
