Default Looking a bit iffy now

I charged up my battery and took it for a drive today. It went about 4 miles, then the engine stopped working. I was able to start it again and it went about another 4 miles before the engine stopped working again. Took a long time before I could jump start it, then it went another 4 mile before stalling. This is a totally new problem for this car. Fuel pump??

I've had it trailered back to my house, where I've moved it into my garage due to warnings of possible large hail.. I'm hoping Sean has time to diagnose and fix it. If not, we will miss the 2019 Third Coast. Darn!!

I'm actually free this time around.

I may show up for Saturday.

I just replaced the axle boots, during which time I came to the determination I should have just ordered a rebuilt set for a variety of reasons, so what could possibly go wrong on an 8hr round trip!

I second this.

I got boxed in by a semi in the narrow stretch east of Houston and couldn't avoid nailing a nasty alligator

For those wanting to do dinner on Friday night before the Parking lot. River city grill is usually a good option.
I called the other day and I could only get a table for 15. Apparently there is a big group that took the private room.
Chili's is next door and is an easy option. There's also a 2 breweries a couple blocks away and is an easy walk.
Make your reservations your group dinners and meet us in the Parking lot at the Hampton for the after party!

Is. There anyone having to cancel ? One of the guys coming from Atlanta at the last minute didn't make a reservation.
Currently he found a room at holiday inn so he does have a place to sleep.
Just thought I would ask.

DFW Caravan to Marble Falls and 3rd Coast
Last year Roger lead us down the Chisholm Trail. That saved us almost an hour in travel time. (More time at the bar.)

Meet at 9:00 for 9:30 departure from the Whataburger at 3701 West Freeway, Ft Worth, 76107. There is a Jack In the Box right next door and a Shell station a half a block away. Come with a full tank of gas and your radios.

Smoking cigars in the parking lot after dinner as always.

But beware of the duck! and Make sure you know where it has been before sticking it in your mouth.
