I can promise you that you need no extra motivation when it comes to working that buffet line. Just hope for better results this year. Maybe print up a business card.......

I wasn't paying attention when you did whatever you did in the buffet line, even though I was right behind you and Jimmy.

If I get ANY results, I would have to move to Utah. Do you let us Mercedes freaks move to Utah?

I think we are getting off the subject.

How young are you again? Oh, that's right, young enough to have been one of my first born. That's what I was thinking. If you are going to keep up with Jimmy and I, you best be aware of what's happening around you.

I must say, it happen so fast, I really couldn't believe it. I'm glad Jimmy was there to let me know it really did. Of course, nothing came of it, JUST like I thought.

I'm looking at the calendar and watching the grass grow ....and knowing how I need to get to the junkyard for some parts for you guys.....

CODA "might" not be ready to drive down.

Scheduling Conflict has been resolved. I'm NOT going to San Antonio. Time to go work on Coda.

No salad bar in that line.

It's BBQ salad, the lettuce is brisket, your tomatoes are ribs, links are the croutons, and bbq sauce is your salad dressing.

Hey - we can get the SA folks together to caravan too - maybe meet up on the NE side of 1604 near Schertz? There is safety in numbers.

John in San Antonio

Sounds cool. Just find a suitable location, and supply me with an address and a meeting and departure time that'll result in you guys arriving in Centerville in noon.

I am for sure going as long as my car is still road worthy from now until then.

Mapquest says it takes about 3 hrs 40 mins (From Schertz to Centerville via I-35 to US 79 to TX 7). There's two things you could do.

1. A meetup time of 7:50 am and an 8:20 am departure time for a nonstop trip from Schertz to Centerville with a noon arrival time.

2. A meetup time of 7:30 am, and an 8:00 am departure time with a short stop in Round Rock since you'll have to take US 79 anyway. If you leave Schertz at 8:00 am, you would arrive in Round Rock at around 9:30 am, allowing you to rendezvous with the Austin crew at the Dell Diamond and leave with them at 9:45 am.

Which option sounds best?

I like the idea of leaving at 0730 and increasing the size of the caravan. Lets say we meet at the HEB parking lot at I-35 and FM 3009 in Schertz at 0730 and plan to leave there at 0800 sharp. If you are late, drive a little faster and catch up - we'll be the line of older mercs

Is the Dell Diamond a place or just the exit name in Austin? I know I've seen something Dell off I-35 driving by, just never paid attention.
