    Hmmm!


    Sounds good !
    Last year I rode down with some friends from Killeen that has a house down the street from me.
    Was gonna try and meet some folks at Chico's if possible too.

    Guess I might have to find out about where Chuck is gonna be hidin at so I can come by and see y'all.
    With as many people as will be down there, I know this is gonna be a hard thing to do.

    just sad looking

    Ok today I had to got to Galvaston , Now I have seen first hand why they had to move the dates back to Dec , Even if they had crews working 24/7 there's no way the island would be ready in time , There's building that I seen in the past 30 years just gone or redused to rubull (sp) , & I don't think even by the Dec dates they will have it all cleaned up , Ike has taken it's toll on the Island thats for sure :(
