John Rock Memorial Meet and Run

[TxPlates]

Close call today - due to the hail storm last night in Dallas I'm being deployed out there for work. So I was able to talk my boss into delaying me leaving till Sunday night. So I am 100% going to be able to make it!

I did call Coopers' BBQ in Llano, they apparently are now accepting debit/credit cards, so that is my mistake, they use to not take them. I did ask if we needed a reservation, they stated no, but they did say be prepared to wait in line for a little bit because of the memorial weekend. It's a cafe ordering style type, so you go in a line order what you want, pay and sit down. So the guy said just make sure we're all in line together and we'll be able to eat together !

Here's the place if you guys wanna check it out...

I hope everyone who can't be there keep him in their thoughts, we were all very lucky to know such a wonderful person. I know my life is forever changed knowing such a person as John. I look forward to this weekend and sharing all the wonderful memories we all have of him. Thanks to everyone.

We started to cconvoy around noon after some bs'ing at Txplates house, Jack gave a fit less than mile from the start point, but Jeff got it fixed in just a few minutes and then everything was fine from there on. After pusing Jack into a parking lot, (thanks for having us push uphill Bro!!), Jack was surrounded quickly by the EF members.
