    Not a lot going on yet. But it will start Thursday after a cool front.
    Anybody that might be interested. Google motels in Alvin, Texas, you can git out of the crowd for a place to stay for like 88.00 a nite and some nice resturants that you don't have to stand in line to git something to eat.

    Don't call Cowboy he will be asleep !:roflmao:

    Don't own any white shoes of any kind.

    Going with the OL.
    Stayin on the floor of a toy hauler on a air matress with GAry. He's a big rub.
    Come all way down from Ft Hood with the toy hauler. He's never been down there at night time either.

    And If I meet a Rub, if they treat me right, I don't bother them.
    They are people like everybody else.
    Some folks were smart enough to go to College and make something of themselves.

    Might meet a couple people there that are business owners. And then again, might not.
    Want to beat the crowd by one day.

    Saw the same thing at a rally here last year. Guy was really drunk tried doing a burnout in a crowd of people. Hit two bikes and took out some people. Watched the cops handcuff him and drag him off to jail. He damaged not only his bike but both the others. Yea big time moron
