Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Lubbock Drags tonight

 

I think there's probably at least 10 trucks that go to cars and coffee heading out there.

 

Wait did you actually buy all the grants? I was gonna go back for more lol

Already did a number on bottle #1 of 2

 

Um...they be a little shy on the Grants blue label at the moment. All they had in stock (a mere 4 bottles) is on its way to Abilene right now. They still had some Monkey Shoulder though!

 

Hi. I'm moving to Austin in around 3 weeks. I look forward to checking out the scene down there.

 

Welcome! We have an active thread and a deep love of tacos.... the truck and the food

 

Preemptive welcome

 

Also, hitting up the salt lick tomorrow for some grub. All this talk got me yearning. Pics to follow... Af...

 

Welcome - already added you to the list.

What part of town are you landing in? Where you gonna be working? What're you rolling on? Have you made your peace with God knowing that you're about to "liked" to death by The Chad?

What are your thoughts on cilantro in your breakfast taco?

These and other things will come up in normal conversation.

 

Since it's the Austin "area" thread, I guess I qualify since I live just North of the city. I've actually been in the area for a year now, and just getting around to posting. I love this area, and Tacoma's so this should be a good fit.

 

Added a homemade third brake light since the FlipPac covers the factory light.

 

I added you to the list. Am I correct in assuming by your avatar and Army seal that you're a UC-12 pilot up at Hood?

 

I'm flying C-12's part time now. Left AD and took a job with an airline. The wife is still on AD at Hood.

 

Anyone encountered/ defeated take off vibes?

 

It's a science of pinion angle. Did you remove CB drop to see if it makes a difference?

 

@sarsaparilla You missed out on some sweet bandaids and sunscreen during Moto GP.

 

Just got back from PINS.. was a blast seeing and driving down the beach with so many cool yotas. Couple of casualties in the group but nothing that can't be fixed (cept maybe the truck that tore out it's front end on a hidden rock). Stoked how my truck did.. didn't skip a beat even with a scary off camber situation I put myself in. Only casualty is some scratches from my jerry can at the fuel door.. annnnd.. my blind spot monitors no longer work. Time to see how that dealer service is!

 

I think the quote over the radio afterwards was "Yeah. Might not want to go that way."

No kidding? I prefer to keep the rubber side down.

 

Nothing ventured nothing gained yanno. The point is.. I am getting really good at recovering

 

Good day of sleeping in, and waaaay over eating at the Salt Lick. Then a nap of course, or food coma rather. and sorry, no pics af as promised. was too hungry...
