A small group from BA.com will meeting out there. I just figured there would be some folks from this site going. We will also be visiting the newbonneville.com production facilities. Brent gave us a tour of the shop last year and it was pretty cool. We got to see some of the stuff they were working on that hadn't been released yet. The shop is actually Brent's dad's machine shop. I had never seen an automated machine shop before. It was pretty cool to see the machines engraving and cutting out the parts.

Pretty good haul from Austin!? Just head northeast on 79 and turn left when you hit Carthage. It's practically around the corner from you!

Bring her along! The Lake O' The Pines rally is very enjoyable and a very friendly get together. It's been a couple of years since I've been, but it is always a great time.

Jessica, myself and the kiddos are leaving Friday. We're staying at Mom and Pop's house but we'll be out at the lake most of the day Saturday. I'm sure we'll be at Skinner's Saturday night so if you're around, we'll be there.

Charlie,
Terry (TMAX) and I will be riding down with some other guys Saturday morning. That is if Terry can get off work. He is supposed to be at the fire station on Saturday as well, but he is trying to get out if it.
