So, how about the first one is Dec. 4, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. at the Bill Miller's in San Marcos? The exact address is Bill Miller #76, 3928 S Interstate Hwy 35 San Marcos, Texas. That is the corner of Centerpoint Drive and IH-35 on the southbound side. Take the Centerpoint exit (#200). If southbound, you will see it on the side of the road just before the intersection. If you are coming northbound, cross under the highway and you can cut through the convenience store lot to get into Bill Miller's lot. We can decide at this meetup if we want to change the location or time or even split it into one for Austin and one for San Antonio.

I will give fair warning though. If you show up, be careful. The outlet malls are right across the highway. I am sure some of us have passengers that might come along for that and it could get to be a very expensive breakfast.
Good time and location. I'll have to pass as I am doing CERT training in Bastrop that weekend.

Being an old retired guy, I don't always plan that far in advance. :drool:

But I'll put it on my calendar also, and make it if I can.

As far as carrying, I really like the idea of everybody OC'ing, since that's sort of "who we are" and kinda makes the drive worth it.

One possible place is the Buttermilk Cafe in New Braunfels. GREAT menu (check it out), and they'll allow OC. They're open 7 to 2.
I just bought a place in Comfort. If you'd like to meet up at Manny's or El Torito for lunch one weekend That'd be cool.

Sure, sounds good. I'll be out of town this weekend, and next weekend's Thanksgiving, so some weekend after that. Don't really like Manny's, though - bleah food, overpriced. Had breakfast once at El Torito and it was inedible. Maybe I should give them another chance. If not them, then Los Jarros is good. Or maybe one of those places downtown.

That time frame works for me. Today is my first Anniversary, so this weekend won't be spent with anyone other than my bride if I want to have a second. And next weekend I have friends in town. But I'm taking off most of December to burn some use it or lose it vacation time. So I'm a lot more flexible then.

I've only been in Comfort for a couple of months. Haven't tried Los Jarros yet. And haven't eaten breakfast at El Torito yet. But their Molcajete bowl is amazing. Manny's isn't my favorite, but it does seem to be a local favorite so I threw it in there. I did get tacos over on High street the other day at someone's suggestion. They said they were better than Mary's. Nope, no where even close.

It looks like the planets are aligning for me to make it.
Wife says she'll probably join in also.
I've encouraged her to get a CHL, but she just hasn't yet felt the need. Y'all feel free to offer gentle encouragement if you like.

we had a good meeting on Saturday. I enjoyed meeting Dave and his wife and Jay kept my wife laughing at puns and other jokes.

So, I will be there next month, but we will have to change to the second Saturday. This year the first Saturday is January 1 and I don't trust them to be open on that holiday. But Bill Miller's in San Marcos is still the planned location for January 8th at 9:00 a.m. Looking forward to seeing anyone who can make it.

Y'all have a good time, try to post a report and maybe some pictures. I'm just too far off to make it.

I'm good for a breakfast in Comfort sometime, or maybe Kerrville (Del Norte is a great place).

I can see moving the location around the area if there are enough interested people. I don't think we could get out to Comfort, but maybe back to the Boerne/Fair Oaks Ranch area again.

I'm also within 20 minute's drive of Bandera, Kerrville and Fredericksburg, if that helps.
