Going down to get the 10 YO granddaughter. She comes up and spends 5 or 6 weeks with us every summer. We have a great time.... Won't be drivin' the truck this time. It's kind of crowded with 3 people and luggage for that long of a trip....

LockDoc-I have a really hectic schedule coming up as I prepare for a trip to Orlando as you are coming in to town. I doubt that I will have a chance to get to that side of town to hook up.

If you have time on Saturday night you really should go by the car cruise hosted by the Niftee 50ees. It is very close to the area that you will be. Weekend before last they had a few hundred hotrods (and one old black truck) show up....

I think it is time for the beast to breath.

Haven't been on a ride that took longer then 20 min since I picked her up from Humble. And that was when it had the power glide.

Me and the wife would be up for lunch on Sunday. Anybody else. Would be sweet if we could get a bunch of trucks together and drive up there.

TTT Looking for others to follow

BACKYARD88 · 06-04-2007, 08:35 AM

Me and my wife are up for lunch on Sunday. Let me know a time and place and we'll be there.

cameeks · 06-06-2007, 03:20 AM

TTT for others to see. Also when do you and mike want to get together. And a location.

BACKYARD88 · 06-06-2007, 08:42 AM

I'm not real familiar with the Spring area so I don't know what's there. There isn't really anything I don't like as far as food goes so just tell me where and I'll be there. Lock said lunch so I'm guessing around 12:00 or 1:00?

Are either of you driving? If so, stop in P-Cola and say hey.

**N2TRUX** · 06-06-2007, 10:07 AM

If you want to bring the ladies along they might enjoy going to "Old Town Spring" There is a lot of little shops that are in walking distance that they would enjoy.

What kind of food do y'all want? There are a couple of places to eat there that are worth stopping at, and there are tons of restaurants not far away.

cameeks · 06-06-2007, 03:15 PM

Not sure on whats really out there. give a tour

BACKYARD88 · 06-07-2007, 10:34 AM

To the top, the weekend is getting close

Hi gang,

Sorry for the delay in posting. My wife found a couple of antique malls on the way down so we had a little delay....

There is a restaurant in old spring called PufferBellys that has good food and plenty of room. I will have to check on weekend hours. The daughter is sleeping right now 'cause she works nights, but she should be up about noon and I will ask her. I think they have a web site but it may take me a while to find it with this 26.4 dialup connection.. I forgot how sloooow this dialup really is.

LockDoc

Well, after the granddaughter straightened me out on the spelling I found it:

http://www.puffabellys.com/

They are open 12-4 on Sundays, so Puffabelly's at 12 noon would work for me if it works for you guys. If anyone would rather make it 12:30 or 1:00 that wouldn't be a problem either, just post it. Thanks.

LockDoc

MSGT · 06-07-2007, 12:43 PM

Why don't you stay through the 24th, there is a big swap meet at the race track.

**LockDoc** · 06-07-2007, 12:55 PM

-
Hope this works, never tried it before....

http://www.google.com/maps?q=Old+Tow...i=map&ct=image

Hopefully the arrow will show where Puffabelly's is.

After checking it, it looks pretty good. It is actually right beside the railroad tracks on the north side.

LockDoc

BACKYARD88 · 06-07-2007, 02:08 PM

I'm good for anywhere from 12:00 to 4:00 so I'll plan on being at Puffabelly's at 12:00 unless I hear different.

**LockDoc** · 06-07-2007, 04:06 PM

Sounds good Mike.

Anyone from the area that wants to show up is welcome.

LockDoc (Leon Rowell)

PanelDeland · 06-07-2007, 07:13 PM

This post reminded me of the one by XXL.I have had a bad jones for a "Beck's Prime" burger for a while.Guess I will just have to grill some up here at home.

cameeks · 06-08-2007, 02:36 AM

I'm also In for 12 noon. I'm going to give the beast a once over Sat to make sure she is up for the trip.

cameeks · 06-08-2007, 02:39 AM

Their website showed this address

100 Main Street
Old Town Spring, TX 77373
281-350-3376

**N2TRUX** · 06-08-2007, 08:29 AM

Puffabelly's is a good place to meet. The food is great, and it has a lot of atmosphere. It's at the end of Main St. near the tracks ao it's not hard to find.

Has anyone posted this in the regions forum?
