2009 AGENDA</div>
Wednesday: April 22, 2009
1:00 – 3:00 Registration:
3:00 – 3:45 Meet & Greet & Announcements: Meeting Room
5:00 11th St Cowboy Bar - Bandera, TX
Bring your own steak & table service to the restaurant and cook it yourself outside on a big grill. The restaurant provides the sides for $4 per person, and live music at no charge. The music begins at 6 pm with a local version of American Idol which is very popular according to James McGroarty, owner of the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. The regular band will start at 7 pm. The $4.00 charge will provide you with a salad, potatoes, bread, and everything you’ll need to prepare your steak, including seasonings. I suggest you bring an extra plate for your steak along with your utensils. Carrying a couple of hot steaks on a floppy paper plate can be precarious. Bring your dancing shoes if you care to do a two step!

1:45-4:00 Session: Gray Water Drainage. Meeting Room - Larry Gamble
Larry will present two modifications to the Casita sewer system that may make your life less complicated.
The first is the replacement of the “P” trap with a Hepvo valve which means no more climbing out of the shower in your birthday suit to open the shower valve. The other is a modification that allows your gray water tank to utilize it’s full capacity and allows it to drain much faster than the stock configuration. These two modifications have been published, but there are new developments that make them easier for the owner to do himself (or herself).
Larry will be doing both modifications during the week for some if us who are all thumbs, if you’d like to observe
