Here is the latest weather update for Saturday. There is a cold front moving through this afternoon. The forecast for Saturday is for a 20% chance of rain, clearing possibly by afternoon, high temp of 50 with strong northernly winds. I may still be possible to do the drive that was planned, but it definately is not positive, nor too pleasant. I leave it too the group. Go or postpone. For you out-of-towners, I would think that it is too risky to plan on, but it's your choice.

If cold is the only problem count me in. I have to get out my ski gear for Sunday anyway :D If it is going to STAY wet then I'll have to pass. We will be watchin the radar in Big D.

If it means anything the Texas Road Trash postponed due to the weather, but then we don't have a top up option.

Tex_S2K 12-01-2000 07:52 AM

OK, Executive decision. I can't promise anything on the weather, but it is predicted to be wet at least until noon. Therefore, the ride is officially CANCELLED!!!! Sorry for any inconvenience, and I hope we can reschedule soon since we had a lot of interest. I would ask each of you to pass on this info so that we don't have people show up for a non-happening!

Sondra S2K 12-01-2000 08:25 AM

Why not just do lunch and then decide from there? I'd still love to meet everyone while I'm here, and I know that Randy is itching to take his S out and show off his clock!

Tex_S2K 12-01-2000 08:35 AM

I agree. I basically wanted to let the folks from Dallas or Houston to know that there are no guarantees, and it is pretty iffy. I'm sure that some folks, especially rowdy Randy may still want to meet for lunch and then if the weather starts to clear, go for a drive. I'm still willing, but did not want to inconvenience anyone. So, lunch at La Feria anyone?!

Schatten 12-01-2000 08:42 AM

I'll definately be up there. Rain or shine.

Schatten 12-01-2000 08:44 AM

Tex_S2K 12-01-2000 08:46 AM

OK, so now we have two reds for lunch. Any wild silver, black, white, or Ole Yeller participants? Oh, and Wirejock, you don't have any plans now!

Schatten 12-01-2000 08:55 AM

I should still be able to attend. See ya there. I'm a silver.

joe_s2k 12-01-2000 10:28 AM

I think that I'll have to take a "rain-check" on this one just in case.

Be careful out on those winding roads if you end up driving around.

Have a good weekend.

The wife and I will most likely be there. I'm sort of glad the Road Trash cancelled. I'm baby sitting cedar fever or a cold and wasn't looking forward to missing a ride. See ya there. What time???

I'll be down for lunch unless it is really bad. Our forcast up here isn't that different. I came down for dinner last month after work. Only takes about two hours and plenty of traffic was passing me :eek:

Elistan 12-01-2000 12:48 PM

At the moment, I expect to be there. The front heading through doesn't seem to be spreading too much water around, so I don't think it'll be very bad at all.

I'll be there in my Silver/Black S. Weather forecast does not call for rain until later on in the evening. See ya tomorrow.

See the planning Board for additional info.

I've been a "foolhardy out-of-towner" before so WTF. At home we refer to these individuals as "die-hards". Some come from as far away as Kansas.
See ya for lunch. :p

I plan on being there for lunch.

If there is no rain I will swing by at lunch. But if the wet stuff comes, no deal, the S2000 hides out in the garage.

vtecing 12-01-2000 10:29 PM

I just wanted to confirm that we are still on for La Feria at 9:00am? Or do I have my times wrong?

Schatten 12-01-2000 11:47 PM

I'm thinking of setting the alarm for 9am, but that might even be a bit early.

Lunch at 9am? Nah, 11am sounds much more likely.

btw, someone have a blk/blk S2k that was at the Gateway theatre in north Austin this eve? Sondra and I left a note on the car to see if they could attend. Couldn't make out the VIN, possibly 5091(?).

See everyone tomorrow!

S2000_Austin 12-02-2000 03:42 AM

Weather looking dry and OK.

Well it's almost 1 PM, I'm thinking about you folks having fun driving in the hill country. I decided not to go. Whatever I caught, I wouldn't want any of you to catch. I think it's a cold, but better to err on the side of caution. Hope you had fun. Turns out a few of the Road Trash went to Hunt after all. Damn missed them both. :( Later. Wire
