I'm rolling. First, a quick stop at the essentials store, then ETA Hope 3 pm.

I ride an '83 Stumpjumper, usually just around the neighborhood. Old school for sure.

Looks like there will be plenty of great speakers coming, so I'll bring some supporting gear: - Raspberry Pi / HiFi Berry DAC + Pro with VLC Media Player. Anyone with a USB hard drive or thumb drive with music files can plug in. - Hard drive with around 1300 CDs ripped to FLAC files. - Oppo BDP-83 (CD / SACD / DVD / BluRay) player. - 5-disc Sony CD/SACD player. - Harman Kardon HK 505 integrated amp. - Audio input switcher (Panasonic AG-SW100). Switches between 10 input sources. - Speaker selector (Home Tech HTS6). Connect up to six pairs. - Bluetooth receiver for an input source. - 42" LCD TV/HDMI monitor. - HDMI cables (6’ and 12’). Audio interconnect cables (3’, 6’, 12,’ 20’). 25'-15A extension cord. GFI protected 6' cord. Power strip. - Assortment of DVD-A and SACD Discs plus some concert DVDs and Blu-rays. - Sonic Impact Tripath amp (battery powered) and JBL P20 bookshelf speakers for hotel tunes. - Cornhole game set.

So, should we start a separate thread for who's bringing what gear? Or is the list on post #1 of the Master Info List thread still good for those still coming?

I may be able to help. I'll PM you.

If there is no traffic and you do not stop that is accurate. I live 10 miles (farther) from DFW airport and I usually make it in about 3 1/2 hours if it is not rush hour.

So, are most of you staying at the Super 8?

No. Pineapple should be used in banana splits and fruit smoothies, not pizza. My boys would argue with me, however.

Nothing like waiting until the last minute to leave! I hope everything stays put in Beaumont. Most of my family in Harris or Montgomery county, near where you are now. Hopefully all of you will be out of harm's way.

Watching the AccuWeather Channel right now. Looks like Beaumont's gonna get it. Again. Good luck to all of you Gulf coast folks.

I used to go to TC on a regular basis for years until I broke a tooth on a stainless steel bolt that was in the pico de gallo (it probably fell from some kitchen equipment). I showed it and the broken tooth to the manager. He grabbed the bolt and refused to take any responsibility in the matter. I eventually had to take TC to small claims court for compensation for the dental bill. I stopped going there, and that was about 15 years ago. I probably would have anyway because Rosa's Cantina opened several locations in the area and the food is better (and no bolts so far).

I'm sure you will.

Looks like a great excuse for a road trip to SA!
