May I suggest that we go to Longhorn Steakhouse after the parade?  There are several reasons for this suggestion.  They have a good selection of food.  Not sure if this one has a buffet or not.  The restaurant is also outside of the core part of the city and away from the parade area.  At the end of the parade, we can take US 141 South, cross I-16, turn right on the first road which is Pinehill, then right again on the first road which is Travel Center Blvd. 

There's also a Golden Corral that's just a short distance beyond the Applebee's where we dined last year.  A little closer in and might be more crowded. 

Any other suggestions?

We Have Extra Parade Decorations If Someone Could Drive The Club Car.

We couldn't possibly find enough decorations to cover the bad paint job on the club car. 

I also have 6 sheets of static cling decorations, streamers and some derbies.  The girls will get 2 of the derbies and I'll have 2 left over.

Everyone remember to charge and bring your FRS radios.  Ron768 don't forget the club banner.  Pat and Linda don't forget the box of club business cards.

Anything else anyone can think of?

Remembering the trouble Don and Darrel had last year when they arrived late and the Police wouldn't let them drive up to our staging area, I've plotted a back-street way around everything.

Go back to the National Guard Armory.  Turn Left on Smith Street.  It's a small neighborhood street.

Follow Smith Street to intersect South Church Street.

Turn left on South Church Street and follow South Church up to the First Church of The Nazarene.

How about a modern ecotec?  Lighter means better weight distribution.  Hi MPG means less time refilling your 11 gallon tank.  Plus, more power than any of the original engines.  I don't see a down side other than cost and availability.

Cost is why I havent done anything to the original motor other than up-grades. I have noticed over the last 2 years that my motor was starting to show its age. This morning on the way over I apparently spun a main bearing. Will not know for sure til I take it apart. I am going to see about pulling the 2.8 from the original project car at Paul's ( The Driver) place next weekend. Once I get it home, it will be clean it up and pull the motor out of my car and install that one. The way my time goes, it may take me 3 weeks or so. Ron, I may need the prom flashed again.

My ignition module failed during the parade, and by the time I replaced it, the rest of the Fieros were somewhere ahead of me, and I rejoined the parade behind the "Y96 Hot Country Hits" van. Here's a video of part of my drive...
