What's the word? Anything this weekend or are we going to postpone?

I'm still in Austin, but will probably be headed back kinda early Saturday.

I'm still interested. I'm either going to the drag races after I get out of work (which should be about 2 pm), or, if it rains, my friend suggested going to the Autorama at the George R Brown convention center.

Are y'all interested in coming, and if so, any preference as to which one to go to?

*EDIT* They are definitely forecasting rain tomorrow, so the autorama may be the better choice. *shrugs*

Guess nothing's happening today. The Autorama's at the George R Brown, if you're interested in going this weekend, Slick.

Well, I didn't actually get home last night until shortly after 5 and really didn't feel like doing anything.

Sorry...

I would have needed more of a warning anyhow.

Remember, I live 3+ hours away.

Yea, that's why I didn't really ask, Arc...I still would like to get together with you guys (and gal), but I figured nothing would happen if it wasn't set up by the night before.

How long are you going to be here, Rick?

after Arc said something about Assassins Creed, I went to Yahoo games and checked it out. Like Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on crack. I want. NOW.

I really wanna apologize to the three of you that I just couldnt get away until the last day, and that I tried to get stuff going until the night prior. I really do feel bad about that. I also thought both sets pf in-laws would have internet. Turns out my father-in-law got rid of it when their PC went down. Here I was gettin everythin hyped up, then I fall through. Sorry.

Cool thing, though, was that I got to let my daughter to run around the wide open spaces of a cattle farm. too bad the weather was too unpredictable to get the boss lady to pull a horse around to let my daughter ride a lil bit. Any one watch Dirty Jobs on TV? They had a piece on the Circle-X Ranch in Bryan, TX. We were less than 45 minutes from there. Granted, they prolly shot that episode at least a month ago, but still.

Bad thing: my son had caught Croup while we were out there. Croup is essentially an upper-respiratory viral infection that has the potential of causing long-term damage. That was on Thxgvng Day. By Monday, he was pretty much back. He had a slight rumble in his throat last night after we got back, but I think the dryness out here is what he needed.

Hmm...Never heard of Croup. Glad you got to experience that part of the USA. Stinks when there is so much GP.net hype and it doesn't go as your mind is thinking.

ya know, I never heard of Croup either. I thought the doctor was kiddin when she said "Your son has been diagnosed with a touch of The Croup." Sounds like a rash or a bad B Movie. Oh well. He has a follow-up with Army docs this next week.

This is actually my 3rd or 4th trip to that "country" (look it up, Texans seem to be proud that they had forfeited their sovereignty to the USA), and the 3rd or 4th time that I really enjoyed myself. I've already been to Washington on the Brazos, and this time I got to tour Fanthrop Inn in what is now Anderson. B/CS is a nice lil village. Cant seem to understand how Navasota and Brenham can call themselves cities with a straight face. All those Farm-Market roads are hellaciously fun. Especially in the Hill Country.

Last time around, I was hopin to meet Bobby and Arc. This time, Arc, Slick, and Ace. Next time, I'm not gonna make any plans. Maybe THEN I'll be able to finally meet up with them. Or maybe just leave Arc out of it. She seems to be bad luck... :p

The curse of the Red car is in this setup!

Don't worry about it, Rick, maybe next time.

Hey, maybe I should go to New Mexico...I still want to take a small road trip in my car.

I HAVE heard of croup before, but I didn't know it was a viral infection...

you are welcome here if it is just one or two ppl. If you can get here before mid-Jan, that is

Yea, not gonna happen. It'd be cool, but I can't get the time off work, nor do I have the money.
