    We're going to leave the winery around 5 or 5:30 and head out to Freeport. We'll turn left and go up the coast as the sun sets over our shoulder. We'll make Galveston just in time for a nice dinner. Then back home.
    Here is the route:

    No car right now, you are aware of the I45S closure for repair work?

    We have an event down in TxC Saturday and will sneak out E225 to 146S....

    Its just I45, not the causeway bridge isn't it?
    If the bridge is closed that could be a problem.

    Just got off the phone with TxDOT. The only closures on I-45 will be between Nasa Rd 1 and FM518. I-45 will open over the causeway bridge and we're cutting off of I-45 at Hwy 6 & 45 so we're going.

    Use the above link, then in the upper right of the map click the satellite box. Then you can zoom in on the coast drive portion and see what it'll look like.
    Its going to be a lovely drive.

    Yep, 'tis sadly true Will,

    Yellow 308 at Ferda's with a misfire
    Blue 308 leaking fuel all over the drive when running, out at the Longhorn Ranch
    Red one is in the garage with a bearing squeal of some sort, azz dents in the hood from Art Car Ball...

    Even the Trans Am felt neglected...so the A/C broke.....:rolleyes:

    Thank Heaven for Toyotas and my trusty skateboard.........LOL!

    Went top down the whole trip.
    Got a little sunburned on the way down.
    Beautiful evening once we hit the coast with the sun setting.

    Well, at least I finished the pool for Valeria, so the view here improved as well, as the sun went down...;)
