:notworthy: Same to you Jim Jeff!!!:-)

Glen Beck listed it as Monday but Shaggy also said it was Tuesday.

It's Tuesday. This is the latest, as of an email I received at 12:30 today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just got a call from my North Texas POC...
CHANGE 1, Per family wishes: There will be NO refueling stop in Waco. Law enforcement is going to slow down the procession in the area of the Flying J to allow riders already staged there to do a “rolling insertion” under the direction of CenTex Ride Captains & Law Enforcement at the I-35 entrance ramp south of the Flying J.
There are no changes to the Waco staging time and location as of yet. Just be there topped off, on time and ready to roll!
Status of the flagline establishment in Waco is up in the air right now. You may wish to simply occupy a location on an overpass or side the freeway along the I-35 route to Austin. SAFELY!
Please keep an eye on our website for possible updates: http://www.CenTexPGR.org (http://www.CenTexPGR.org)
Remember, this is about honoring this Warrior and respecting his families’ wishes.
Semper Gumby!
Thanks for understanding,
Mare

Well, as of a couple of minutes ago, there has been another change, and kind of a substantial one for those of us not willing to stage in Midlothian. As this is looking to be more of a very crowded monkeyf*ck all the time, I'll either just go to the cemetery from the house here, or blow it off altogether. I'm leaning heavily towards the latter. >:(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHANGE 2:
I have been notified by our State Captain that there will be NO ROLLING INSERTION in Waco because of SAFETY CONCERNS.
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESSION: If you have a bike that will make it from Midlothian to Austin WITHOUT REFUELING, then see the North Texas Website for staging instructions in Midlothian. DO NOT come to Waco thinking you will join the procession.
TO RIDE WITH A GROUP FROM WACO TO AUSTIN AHEAD (Way Ahead) OF THE PROCESSION: Follow the staging instructions below. North Texas will be leading a group of riders to Austin way ahead of the procession.
If you wish to attend/help with the Interment in Austin, see their website.
The flagline in Waco at the Flying J is a STAND DOWN. Please feel free to line I-35 & the overpasses all the way down to Austin. My guess is as good as yours as to when they will pass each overpass. HINT: KSU from Midlothian is 0800 and they will be traveling approximately 50 mph. I am horrible at math, so please don’t ask me to calculate what time they will pass different areas... please.
AGAIN, Thank you for your understanding. This change was made purely in the interest of our riders' SAFETY.
