"Live" from Houston

Well we are still here in line and it has not started raining here yet. I overestimated how many rigs were already here. This morning there are probably only 45 sportsmen rigs in line. They were supposed to start moving in the pros at 8 but I haven't seen anything moving yet. We just finished breakfast, so I am going to make another walk up that way.

Hey Bob, come on over anytime.

They have come out and started handing out the packets with sticker for pit vehicle and gate passes. It still is not raining. In fact there is just a peek of sun coming thru. They are moving the vendors in. Hopefully they will at least get started on time at noon.

More later.

Still no rain!! They actually started parking us at 11:15, but were only pulling out about 5 at a time. I think there were only 2 people parking us. We have a great spot, I think. I guess we will see after it rains. We are across from the grandstands, behind the manufacturers. I am going out on the golf cart now, so I can get my bearings as to where everything is. Just met a nice young man, Drew Whalen from Illinois. He is coming down later for a glass of wine with us. (He said he is 21. Is that right, Dad? I don't want to get caught contributing to the deliquency of a minor!!)

Jerry Newsome is here by us, as well as Charlie and Austin Ford. Buckners and Teutons are supposed to be here tomorrow. Looks like a great weekend.

More later.
