Ok....

let's try January 11th...

Meet @ Hotel parking lot...10:00am

then we will take the cruise route to gruene and have lunch @ the gristmill. This will give us a chance to time it, and check road conditions, etc....

Let me know if this works...

I'll be there!

As to drive the cruise route to Gruene, I'll take a rain check since I already drove it.

I recorded the milage at every intersection, checked all roads - all in excellent condition, and checked all the pit stop locations for gas stations.

I'll make copies for the Route Checkoff List, and those who choose to drive to Gruene can check it out.

Can we have coffee and a short meet to discuss other issues, then whoever wants to do the cruise to Gruene can do so. You can take my Route Checkoff List and verify it. Make additions or corrections to it. I will update it and make copies for everyone in February.

Ok...who has great breakfast in austin, near the hotel...

Is there a taco cabana?(I know there's one @ 183 & 360) - any local area favorites? My favorite breakfast places are all on south congress.

We'll meet @ 10:00am - coffee...breakfast...discuss final issues for annual meeting.

then, weather permitting, we will take the cruise route...to Gruene for lunch @ gristmill and a beer @ gruene hall.

I'm off my pain meds, off my crutches, and off my cane. I got into my Limo without extreem pain. Still can't bend the knee, only about 45 degrees. I almost tried getting into my FFR this afternoon. That's tomorrows goal.

Hey; I made the cruise plans before my surgery, so you can't blame bad instructions on the meds, only "old timers".

Ed Csoltko · #11 (**permalink**) 01-01-2003, 03:34 PM

I slowly eased into my FFR this morning and fired her up. I believe clutching is good exercise right after knee surgery. A couple of street rod friends talked me into cruising through Wimberley to the Devil's Backbone (Riley's Tavern). Had a beer and a burger, and took the long way home. It was a great New Years day for a cruise. So I guess I'm back in the saddle again.

Now the Donut Gang wants my FFR in the Austin Car Show this weekend. I thought I was getting out of this, but I was the standby dude in case something happened to the other members. Well a T-Bucket was involved in an accident, thank God no injuries. So my FFR will be in it's first car show. O-boy! Those of you who know me know I rather cruise than show.

See you at the downtown Austin Car Show.

Blake Olson · #12 (**permalink**) 01-02-2003, 11:48 AM

Where's the car show at?

Gregg(What's his name)? · #13 (**permalink**) 01-02-2003, 12:36 PM

Hey Ed what day are you going to the show? I might meet doen there.

Hope the knee is feeling better!

Count me in for the 11th meeting.

Blake Olson · #16 (**permalink**) 01-03-2003, 08:11 PM

7 day forecast is calling for cold and rainy next weekend. I'll keep a watch on the forecast. Plan B will be the next weekend.

No need to worry Blake if we need I can fit 6 grown ups in the dually so we could still work the run as long as no one smokes in the Dually but we could stop for a smoker no problem but its your call Bro .

Okay this Saturday (11th) at 10:00 am, but where?

Cammer: Did you see, or can you recommend a resturant for breakfast near the hotel?

If it rains, bring your non-Cobra cars.

We need all the Austin members to come and review the final Spring Meet plans together.
