Boy, I've done a lot of runnin around that part of Texas..
I've got in-laws near Edom, SE of Ben Wheeler, NE of Murchison.. It's a lot like Brenham, except we don't have the "no cop-no stop" rule at stop signs.
Van Zandt County is a wild place to be sometimes..
There is an awesome hamfest this Saturday in Belton, TX , just south of Temple TX. About halfway between you and me off I-35
The crew here is going e a r l y in the morning , to get the best computer parts deals , and see some cool Red Cross Communications and satellite / ham radio stuff..
Do you and dafydd want to join us there ? Acres of radios, cb's, computers, antennas, and just old elecronics swap/sell/trade stuff.. From sunup till 12:00 noon ??
Last time, I picked up a dual 533's/850's cpus motherboard for $30.00 several 10G and 20G scsi drives for $5.00 ea. a 10GB tape backup for $5 , several cdroms for $1.00 ea. and a 19" monitor for $17.00 - needed a hardwired power cord replaced... They threw in 2 pairs of speakers and a DAT tape backup as well for free..
Only a dollar admission, and you can win some nice prizes with your ticket stub. I hear the weather is supposed to be nice and COOLER ! I like this hamfest much better than Arlington... Much bigger and cheaper !
