RTP Lunch Bunch & Habitat Re-Store Run

[tjgreen]

+1 for Jason's Deli. Good spot if folks are going and coming at different times, and they have free ice cream.

I can give a definate "maybe" on this, depending on whether I have anyone coming in to pick up their locomotive that day.

Personally, I'd rather NOT have to take out a second mortgage just to get a burger at Red Robin.

Well it looks like I am in town so I voted a yes, But as with my traveling things can change.

I like Jason's Deli!

 

[froglips]

Well, sounds like a unanimous vote for Bob Evans.

I'm a funny guy. :rotflm:

That leaves the last question, timing.

We could get our food to go, hang out in the restore parking lot, picnic style.

A traditional way would be to eat, then shop. Say 11:30 to 12:30 food, 12:30 - 1:30 Restore (or shop then eat).

Your opinions are welcome and really appreciated

Let's save the tailgaiting/picnics for football games and eat inside and enjoy the A/C at Jason's. Eat first and then go to the re-store.

Lunch first sounds good to me. But of course lunch always sounds good to me!! While I am on the subject of food. I have lost 28 pounds so far. I seem to be on the slow but steady diet.

 

[buildintechie]

I voted and I am in along as the food is good - I am so glad there is no GC close

Actually...there is one 4 or so miles away...but why travel that far when you've got about 15-20 choices nearby.

I'm in...provided my bid that day is in good shape.

 

[adowden]

Count me in. Everything sounds great. I can't wait.

[adowden]

I am going to have to pass after all. My husband has a last minute dentist appt. that day. I hope you find some great deals at Habitat!

As much as I would love to make the journey southward my tool/travel budget just took a 24HP, 42" deck, $1500 hit. :eusa_doh:My Troy-Bilt became financially impractical to maintain anymore and Sears had this beast drastically reduced so with the 10% Friends & Family day discount I saved a ton of money. :eusa_danc



Since Jim mentioned TNBTG I could not resist the chance to post a sneaky gloat. :gar-La; I hope you folks have a great time and rest assured I will be with this great group of woodworkers in spirit if not in person. :wsmile:

 

[Phil S]

Folks, I have to bail out on this one. Have a great time and I hope to catch you on the next.

 

[Len]

Looks like I have to pass this time too. Several funerals have the store where my repair shop is located short handed, so I've been asked to help out. Maybe next time.

Len

 

[froglips]

Sorry Amy, Phil and Len can't make it. Rest assured, we will eat again!

Sounds like eating first works.

11:30 at Jason's Deli
12:30 at the Re-Store

I'm hungry all ready! See you then.

Jim

 

[buildintechie]

Sorry folks...I'm going to have to back out too...had some stuff come up for work.

I was looking to the opportunity to meeting you guys.

 

[James Davis]

Oh well, Add another to the "Aint gonna make it list" Pooh-Pooh happens as the T-Shirt says.

James

 

[froglips]

Congrats, thats quite a new tool!

I hope you will consider riding it on one of the upcoming Crawls If so, might need to leave tomorrow to be in Charlotte by Sept 19th

Looking forward to seeing folks out today! For those who are new (aka don't know what we look like), I'll bring some sort of tool and leave it out on the table.

Jim

[froglips]

Wow, we have a great turn out!

The Deli was quite tastey and they were more than happy to let us build up a giant table.

The fellow running the register even talked about the Woodwright shop

After eating, we high tailed it over to the Re-Store for some sweet deals and quite a few "if I had this when I _____ wouldn't have paid full price for it".

For those who were there, the picture of Tom's vegetable fork turned out too good.

Finally, a special Happy Birthday to Dan Snyder, he turned 23. Again.

Roger (sapwood) was there, but my 10 year old camera didn't pick him up so well......

My first lunch bunch! Thanks for setting it up. Had a great time, and developed some serious lathe/shop/retired guy envy (I'm talking to you, Charlie). Looking forward to the next one.

 

[sapwood]

OK folks, what happens in the deli . . . stays in the deli :rolf:
Nice to meet some new folk and chat with the old :wink_smil
