Yea, Id like to if we can get some more people.

Plus it would be funny to see if any of you guys are the ones that come out of nowhere, darting up behind me like you want to race, or just impress me or something.

Sounds like a plan...I plan on being in town around 18th. It would be cool to get a few more people out. Did they every build that Hooters they were talking about in Killeen? We could always have a gathering there! I'm sure the girls there are mostly dependants and army wives...haha!

Oh man, maybe we could hit up the Austin crew...don't they have regular meets?

Wow, if you havn't been here since before the Hooters was built, you probably won't even recognize Killeen or Harker Heights at all now. A lot has changed.

As for the Austin crew, the TexasRxs are having their monthly meet on the 7th of Jan and an overnight tour on the 24 and 25. Nothing else on their calander as of yet. their site is here

HAHA, haven't been back there since '05. My parents still live in Cove, they try and keep me up to date. I guess the big thing there now is the Cracker Barrel in Harker Heights. I really can't wait to get back! What part of town do you live in Gecko? I'm from S 23rd near the high school.

They just opened that Cracker Barrel along with a Cheddars and a Chipotle. They even moved the Target and Old Navy from Killeen into the same shopping center in Heights. It's going crazy around here lately, especially in Heights.

I've been here since '98 and have lived in Killeen, Harker Heights and mostly Cove. My first house in Cove was on S 25th st. I live about half a mile in form the Walmart now. Did you go to school here? If so when did you graduate? I ask cuz my wife grew up here.

Yeah Gecko, that's cool...I grew up in Cove and graduated in '97. I moved away in '98 for the AF and am currently stationed in NC.

Can't wait to get back, it's been too long. Hopefully we can get this meet together...

I was actually referring to the club's January calendar only. Now that you point it out though, the drive in December sounds pretty sweet.
