    Default Dallas Auto Show, Saturday April 5, 1pm

    Okay, as mentioned in this thread, we're going to get together to visit the Dallas Auto Show as a group. I've proposed 1pm on Saturday as a meeting time - we can meet at the entrance.

    Let us know if you can make it!

    Barbara and I will be taking the ThunderRocket to Austin for Lonestar Roundup.

    The music alone is worth the drive, a 1000 of the best hot rods is too.
    There will be real hot rods from all over the country rolling toward Austin, so keep a eye peeled.
    A large gaggle is gathering at Czech Stop in West Friday Morning as always.

    I would love to go if it were free.

    Not only would I have to spend money to get in I am a recovering car addict.

    So a Car Show is like taking a recovering alcoholic to a liquor store... heck having your nice RX-8 in my garage a few weekends ago made me sweat.

    I think it's 8 or 11 bucks to get in but I may have a few extra free tickets. I'll check and let you know.

    Dammit...

    As usual, life has reared its ugly head. My home alarm went on the fritz (going off at 4 this morning. ), and the only appt. I can get for someone to come out and fix it is 12-5pm on Saturday.

    Drift alert. Is it the battery? Mine did that and I called for a service dude (and I got serviced). In hindsight I could have bought a replacement battery off ebay for a fraction of the cost.

    If it wasn't for mistakes I'd never learn anything.

    It certainly has turned against me lately. Thankfully the roof turned out to be something I could (and did) fix myself.

    Unfortunately, the alarm problem I can't fix myself. The alarm goes off to tell you to replace the battery, but I can't get this particular size of battery through anyone but ADT. If I disco the battery myself while the unit still has house power the alarm will go off, and if I shut off the house power and disco the battery apparently all hell will break loose when I power it up again unless I have some special service tool. How convenient.

    Every 20 minutes on weekends, except for early mornings/late nights where it is every 30 minutes. I usually take the train to get around Plano/Richardson and rarely go that far south, so I needed to look up when I need to board to get to downtown (11:47am in my case).

    My girlfriend had a knee worked on and that much walking would hurt her leg.
