WARNING!

I have it on good authority that Kelly (FWRex) has been planning on making this one to "close the loop" after his last attempt over a year ago.

If you remember, Kelly was headed to Hutto with a bunch of fellow ZRXers and impacted a buzzard, knocking him unconscious and suffering other injuries. (one of the tragedies of this accident is that Kelly completely forgot about the $100 he owes Sean and me :rofl: )

So, he plans to get back on that horse and make the trip. He mentioned this several weeks ago, so I hope that he can fire up the replacement ZRX (it's a disease) and finish this one. :thumb:

Too many events that weekend for me - I still haven't decided what to do but it will probably be the Tech Day in Canton... :shrug:

Yeah, I figure I need to shake the jinx by completing this ride. Look out wildlife, here I come!

Chuck! Whaddya mean yer not coming? We need to have a discussion about your priorities. If it's wrenchin' or ridin', riding always has to win out. What's next, you'll start giving up riding days so that you can wash it?:mrgreen:

If riding was the primary priority, I would be in Arkansas that weekend. :trust:

I still haven't decided - I like the Pie Runs & haven't made it to Hutto yet (but I haven't TRIED either :lol2: ). I also may get drafted to do electrical work in Canton. Or I may go to a reunion. I am SO CONFUSED! (cue Welcome Back Kotter music). :giveup:

Nah, if riding was the priority, you'd be in Arkansas the next weekend at the rally, and down at the pie run this weekend. C'mon, we need your Strom-ness to balance out the Rex's that are showing up.:-P

On the downside, I can't make this, though it's less than 10 mins. from the house.

I'm a maybe. Those sweet potato fries are almost too good to miss.

If I make it, I'll be sure to bring my $1 donation to wczimmerman for all the hard work and hassle of putting together these pie runs, calling the restaurant, and keeping the list updated. I'm surprised it's not mandatory by now. :patriot:

Becca, this is the first I've heard about this. I have made probably 5 or 6 pie runs and haven't put any thing into the pot. I'll be sure to do so this weekend. Is there a person in charge for taking up the donations or do we give a Buck to Zimmer?

That's because there's no pot to drop money into...:lol2: Seriously, this is just a fun time for us to meet up, consume large amounts of pie, then ride home. I don't want anyone to pay or donate for this.

Dang you would think I could make a pie run just a few miles from my house. I have UT tickets also and usualy have to be heading that way about 2 hours before the game. Hmmm that gives me till 12:30. I might just try it. If not someone have an extra piece for me.

wczimmerman

10-24-2007, 05:41 PM

Called the restaurant and gave them our current numbers. They're ready for us (they were surprised at our group size last year even though I called them).

The list has been updated. It doesn't look like Jen and the girls will be going as Jen's 919 won't be ready in time (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showpost.php?p=313364&postcount=56).

Ghost Rider is still all in. Bringing at least two more riders from Temple/Harker Heights. Hoping to hear back from one more, and will send dgrobe2112 a invite to ride with us.
