I've never seen four criminals in the same mugshot before. You folks picked a fine place.

Kidding aside, I hate I missed out. I couldn't miss the MIL's 80th birthday. I can only hope that I'm as young as she is at that age(if i live that long...lol).

Glad ya'll had a good time.

Be Good.

That goofy dude on the left looks shady. Who let him in?

Glad you had a good time Marty. Missed you but understand. Family first.

Whether we have two or twelve, our dinners are a lot of fun. I know we have some newish folks. I highly encourage yall to try to make one if you can.
I think it's what makes our chapter so great is that we personally know almost everyone that posts. Not just a bunch of folks sitting behind a keyboard.


Heading North-West in June for our Va friends and Western Chapter Members.

There's one Saturday evening in June in particular when I may be trying to be in Greensboro, anyway. Let me double-check my calendar on that. I know it's NOT the 3rd or 10th. I'll be in Indiana and Ohio, respectively, on those days.


I appreciate you guys being willing to set a venue to make it easier to include your neighbors to the north such as myself. It definitely makes me feel a lot more motivated to try to attend one of these dinners asap

Hey all. I know it's last minute, but I didn't know what the Mary wanted to do with the weekend, so I've been waiting on her to tell me what was happening. However, now that I have my orders, I've thrown together a last minute BBQ. If anyone is around, and doesn't have plans, please give me a call if you want, or just shoot me a PM on here and I'll give directions, to my little piece of crazy here in Fuquay.

I've gotta finish an oil change and I'll be over sometime.

James, went down to Louisiana to see my folks, and watch my nephew graduate. Brought back a stowaway; my 13 year old niece. She's hanging out here in NC for a couple of weeks. Sorry to hear about your alternator troubles!

Josh I didn't see your post in time but it wouldn't have mattered anyway, I'm nursing a cold for the last 2 days and miserable and grumpy. I'm sure Sherry would have liked to have me out of the house for a few hours though!

John, No worries. Hopefully I'll be able to give better warning on the next one. I seem to put these things together at the last minute. Still we had a get together here all the same. Marty and Dustin made it out, and we got to have some good laughs. The BBQ came off the smoker a little later than intended, took nearly 12 hours, but it came off tasting great and pulled easily enough.

All in all not a bad way to spend the day.

Getting the f250 aligned at pepboys, Wesley was doing his salesman spill. He didn't see me get it.

It was some impatient dude that was fussing because his ranger took 2 hrs for alignment and tires.
He was saying the wheel cylinder blew on the f250. That's why I didn't see it. Just gotta pick up some adjustable camber bushings and take it back, they did good though.

So what are the thoughts on the June dinner so far. Traveling north? Weekend or Week day?

Greensboro area. During the week. Not on a Wednesday or the 3rd or the 10th.


Stamey's was tossed around. Plenty of decent cue around Greensboro.

I'll be OOT from the 2nd through the 11th, so as far as I'm concerned, any Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday evening during the week would be a fairly safe bet for me. The later in the month, the better.

Same for me, relatively busy this week and next, but after the weekend of the 10th things are open.
