It's lookin' like the weather is gonna be with us for Sunday guys! Mostly sunny, breezy, and pleasant....with a high of 74!

As far as the roll call....my real name is Mike. I met Success at the Advanced Auto cruise-in a couple months back....can't wait to meet some of you other guys.

I paid about $75 at Byer's for the flush. I had a coupon, I think.

Also, Mark and his wife Chris may also join the caravan. Some of you guy met them at the City Barbeque lunch and the Mid-Ohio GT race. Not sure if they'll bring the Z or the Miata.

Brian, Alpha is Alex and RA is.........umm........well.........uhhh.......Ra.

Noon at a breakfast place like Bobby E's is probably out of the question because of the after church crowd, I agree.

I suppose we'll figure out the food once we see what our options are.

We might want to actually designate a meeting place...lot of development down there and many of the parking lots are obstructed by buildings/trees. I know there's a Home Depot, Kroger, and Wal-mart all there. Can't miss the Home Depot from the freeway exit, so I'd nominate it for our initial get together, and we can pick an eatery from there. I think there's a BW3 down there too just a couple of blocks south...

I'm back after a great trip to the Smoky Mountains! On the down side, I threw 2 more CELs on the trip (#s 7 & 8, I believe). The light's out now, but I think maybe it's a coil issue. I couldn't maintain speed on even the slightest grade. It seemed like I lost power on one rotor. Weird stuff.

It'll be a game day decision on the vehicle we take Sunday. If not, mine, we'll bring Loretta's Miata, which is also a great choice for this ride, if the weather holds.

As to meeting place, it sounds like the Home Depot to start. Seems the address is 6035 Gender Road Canal Winchester, OH 43110 - correct? Noon - see you there!

I'll call MD tomorrow and get in there Monday to have this sorted out.

home depot is literally just off the exit, turn right on gender and then an immediate right into the kroger/hd complex. bdubs, las margaritas and o'charlies are on 3 of the four corners at the traffic light 300 yards down the road. the whole business strip is maybe 1/4 mile, itll be had to miss other 8s

Good idea, HD sounds fine with me.

FYI, any of the restaurants that "Beefcake"...I mean "Maverick"....I mean Brian mentioned, are great with me.

I did some research and there is a pizza/ ice cream shop that looks nice that is right off the 664/ 33 exit. I figured that might be a nice place to wrap up our day. Get a soda pop for the road sort of thing.

had a great time today guys, a bit more open road would have been nice (the drive back was great, but im afraid somethings really wrong with my engine b/c the clunks kept showing up ) but it was a beautiful day and a great drive nonetheless.
