Update: My wife's co-workers backed out, but she still wants to do the trolley tour. This ought to make the plan a lot more flexible.

 

I guess I ought to give y'all a little more warning next time I have a "plan".

I stopped by DmaxEter's shop today, partley to make sure he knew about the plan, and partly to match names to faces. Otherwise, we might not recognize each other when we do meet downtown. He was there and we had a nice chat; but he already had other commitments related to helping a buddy with a broke truck. A broke FORD truck. I just had to say that. The devil made me do it!

Y'all missed a pretty good time. We (my wife & I) went over to Sleep Out Louie's and I had a Newcastle. Then I had another one for DmaxEter. As we left Sleep Out Louie's I called Dmax and told him about it. He had been working hard and was thirsty, so that made him feel better. Anytime dude!

Then we did the Trolley Tour thing. By golly, they DID have free wine, beer, spiked punch and pretty decent snacks. It was worth the price (a couple of hours of my time; no $$). They do this the last Friday of every month. I'm not sure if it is year-round, or only in the summer.

We followed that up with stops at Silky O'Sullivans and Coyote Ugly (new to Bealle St; just opened a couple of months ago) and topped it off with seeing the Cars movie. We really enjoyed that one. It didn't hurt that Larry The Cable Guy was the voice for the wrecker; and he did get a "Git-r-done" in there once during the movie.

Now, here it is, past 1:30 am. Do I go to bed and work on the truck tomorrow, or head to the shop NOW? Hmmm local weather says 81 degrees now; forecast 99 tomorrow. My luck it will hit at least 100.
Dmax, I'll have to show you the Lukes Link some other time. I need to get my truck put back together so I can drive an air-conditioned truck instead of the Blazer that ain't. I'm gonna go and Git-R-done!

 

Hey, just saw we are starting to neglect our thread a little so I'm sending it BTT so we can get our next meeting scheduled. I hope those who've been away for a while come back and chime in.

 

I got a new toy!!!!


Man it shoots sweet!!!!

 

Brand??? Where you buy?

 

Only the finest, Springfield Armory. Its a PX model. Custom Loaded 1911.
I bought it from a guy in Sardis MS. Its less than three months old, less than 100 rounds through it, and I gave $450 for it. Find me one advertised for less than that!!!

 

Sweet looking 1911 would like to find one like it myself,Just chimming in guys and was wondering if i can join the club..did get my new running boards fri. now to find the time to put them on.and install the rest of my acc.when and where street..

 

Well lets see Dmax, I know a guy who knows a guy who can get you one for say $50 , just don't ask where it came from .

Smokey, we need to get some input from the members here as to where and when, but I've put forth my idea of Aug 5th and Dmax suggested Jackson, TN. Then I suggested a picnic/BB-Q at the state park there if we do it.

 

I've got two. I bought a stock 70 series at an estate sale and I have my fathers Government issued unit which he purchased from the Air Force when he was discharged in the fifties. I carried a Sig P-220 during my days as a LEO and still like it.

 

I have a full custom stainless Comander with meltdown treatment myself. T-Rad, Abby, and Dmax have all seen it. Other than my Beretta shotgun, it's my fav. gun I own.

 

Wake up, Post something!

 

Huh?? Who said that?

 

Doesn't do any good, nobody wants to talk anymore.

 

I saw on another post that D-max was talking about what he was going to pay for his 1911. It probably would break his little old heart if he knew what I paid for my last one.

 

Well I give up! You can't even get one to come out in a baited field. I'm going back to EBAY.
