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

Morning y'all
Are people going insane up there at gas pumps?

 

​

 

College football

 

In other news I'll be going to Costco this weekend for a couple pork bellies for some amazing treats for T&T and the lake. Thinking of smoking a couple pork butts for the lake trip if people want that? Thoughts? or need me to get anything in bulk for the shindig whilst I'm there?

 

Beer ​

 

Do we have someone looking into a keg or bulk alcohol apparatus? or we just gonna byob it?

 

Oh snap, you are correct on the keg.

 

also...

 

Totally down for some pork butt. Also, can you change the leave time from 930 to 10. Guest passes say arriving at 1030 on them. Oh and , Good Morning

 

​

 

Can do and can do

Morning

 

This has been up in the air with no real definity. Should we employ someone to actually get a keg? We all pitch in?

 

@ryanbitt said he has a shell ready to go

I could collect some funds from the south side peeps

and get it to him for a fill up ​

 

I wonder if Buchelle will be better than he was last year. He was pretty good for a freshman.

$5 per vehicle to park which goes to a charity/organization (see below). This also gets you a raffle ticket for a Autozone bucket of stuff and things. Additionally, this month, PUPPIES!

Organization Sponsored: LLS (Leukemia Lymphoma Society)

From C&C FB page:

This months show is supporting LLS (Leukemia Lymphoma Society).
Here is some general information about LLS:
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. The LLS mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services.
LLS also holds their annual Light The Night at COTA. Light The Night is the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s annual fundraising walk and an opportunity for Central Texans to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer. Participants walk along a one-mile route carrying illuminated lanterns – white for survivors, red for supporters and gold lanterns in memory of loved ones lost. Austin Light The Night takes place on Saturday, November 18, at Circuit of the Americas. Learn more at www.lightthenight.org/sctx.

So please clean those cars and come on out to support such a great cause!!

Taco's needed eaten in honor of those that can't make it:



T&T Part Deux: Arrowhead Park (http://www.lvpoa.org/amenity.asp?id=15)

Chris, how much are the passes so we can pay you back?

We will be doing a Taco Convoy out of T&T at around 10:00 to head to Arrowhead park in Lago Vista for more food and merriment. Chris (@Texoma ) was gracious enough to pick 25 visitor passes for us in advance. The plan is to park Lakefront, grill, drink, swim, etc..

As far as beer options, we're looking at BYOB or pitching in on a keg.

Chad (@ChadsPride ) also suggested something about a Taco Community Trash Pickup at some point to show good community standing. If this is something we do, I'd recommend doing it as one of the first things prior to too much food and drinking.

As another point, that I'm not worried about, we will obviously need to clean up fully after ourselves as well. But our C&C showing is already great about this.

Chime in for what you'd like to bring for this portion of the day and if you want to attend.

One can only hope!

​

 

I assume the shell is a trade in. If there was any residual fluids left in it, wouldn't that contaminate the new fluids going to be put back in?

 

Not too sure really, havnt filled a keg in many years.

I think you are right on the trade in aspect.

 

Some can hope not too ​
