My sister is moving to Galveston Island and the wife and I will plan a fall trip there. Maybe we can hook up again, so I'll be watching any info that is posted.

Of all the things I've lost in my life, I miss my mind the most!

Chris, sorry I won’t be able to make the 23 July cruise. I’ll be attending the annual Texas Association of Sports Officials football meeting in The Woodlands that weekend. I’ll catch the next one.

Update: we will leave the New Braunfels Buckees at 0830 (we can adjust if someone is driving to the link up, but you need to tell me!) We will roll out through Greune down to River Road. We might stop for a few minutes, depending on the amount of trucks. Once we get to the far side of River Road, we will have an early lunch at the harbor. After that we can convoy home on River Road or another route (Time dependent).
If I can get the turn signals (and therefore brake lights) back working on my '52 I'd love to join you guys. That's assuming SWMBO doesn't come up with a better plan. What is "the harbor"?
I'm a little west of Fredericksburg, so I'd probably have to leave here a bit before 7 to make an 8:30 kickoff.

Glad to hear it is working! The harbor is a spot on canyon lake that we are previously. It had lots of parking and good food. I can text you the address.
Joined up with the cruise a few miles after it started this morning and had a great time (except for the heat). 3 pictures:

I used to have a TF (actually a GMC Blue Chip) ...

I'm hoping that's a after picture with a before after it.
Nope. The older picture is on the left. Broke my heart, but not my body. Only had a scratch on my left elbow. Had 3 point seatbelt on. The only panel that survived was the tailgate. I bent the top of the steering wheel down most of the way to the dash. Will be 10 years this October. A few more pics, two before followed by two after.
