We all want good wind but geezus, I hope it tones down just a little. Seriously, everyone who's just a little edgy because of the high wind stories, keep in mind that last year we had an EPIC drought in Texas and that was a huge contribution to the high winds on the coast. So far, our winter is looking to be a bit wetter. Beisdes, we're overdue for a lolypop ride. Please don't make me be the only N20 this year.

Todd, Turtle got married, rest his soul, and his wife won't let him come get stupid with us anymore, so now, hopefully we get Karl. David's dad is our team manager. He's done the Tybee's with us and at least 4 GT's so far.

Can J stand long periods in a RIB with me?

Posts: 1,304 Gulf Coast relocated from Cali... | Can J stand long periods in a RIB with me? I think J will be just fine. Like Todd says, "Karl has no idea what he's in for." Karl, you're in for a treat. It will be a week of your life you'll never get back. Now, your verbal commitment is legally binding in Texas. You can't back out now or go to another team unless you have a good attorney...or a note from your mom.

Posts: 749 Santa Cruz, CA | ****! Can you stand being in the RIB with me, Karl? That's the question. Here's the scoop. I want to negotiate with several sponsors and the organizers to pay for a little media attention for the GT. My wife is a school teacher and has the time free, and my 5 year-old is bad butt, so the plan is, if we can negotiate something, I'll drive out with the family. Family vibe doesn't slow us down one bit, believe me. So...talk amongst yourselves, figure out if my skills are worthy. I think the way it would work best is to photograph, update the event's FB, Twitter, web page when possible, and write a nightly report for publication wherever will take it. We could even do some promo videos with interviews. My skills in that area are developing, but I can pull something off and have all the gear. Of course, if Rick and Mary want photos and a little write up for this place, I'd be happy to hook them up for the cat community support over the years. I'll be in contact with Steve. As of right now, my calendar is open for those dates. The week after I have a Hobie event in CA, and the ACWS in RI. Cheers!

I think that I had a gun in the truck too. Cred! Are you wearing a kilt/dress or gauchos?
