Encourage your significant others to join please.. we want the ladies to also enjoy our hobby (more like a way of life) so they don't feel left out.

Also.. food wise there is a really good place near by called toot sweet, we can grab a bite before or after the meet.

I've invited the girlfriend, but it's rare she gets out of bed before 10am, and I'm gonna have to leave my place around 6:30. We'll see though.

I'm just one guy with one opinion and trying to not "call the shots". I'm thinking we are going to fry like bacon in a pan in that parking lot. It isn't fair for me to find fault without an alternative though. I will try to come up with a counter suggestion. DieselDemon, you are trying to lace this thing all together and I thank you.

If we go more west there is Katy Mills mall??? plenty of driving area, plenty of food, and a place with AC for the ladies to go to if they get too hot along with us.

For those attending, if you would like a copy of ISTA or the 2017 nav maps please bring a 32 GB flash drive with you. I will also be pulling 1b files to generate FSC codes for those that want to update your maps.

I live in Montgomery. would come down tomorrow but am trying to sort a serp belt issue. belt seems tight. No oil on it, but PS cuts out if AC comes on. I thought is would be one of the 2 normal culprits, but I am scratching my head. It only has 127,000 miles on it.

Harmonic Balancer it is. I just happened to see some black residue around the crank pulley/balancer and searched that. Seems it has been a problem. I just ordered one (not cheap but parts geek had one for a bit over $200). I will definitely come to the next get together. I love this car, problems and all and enjoy working on it. I really would like to see what others are doing to them.

Again, thanks guys for throwing your knowledge my way.
