About 12 of us met in Apex for dinner last month. I'm over in Fuquay, not too far away from you. There's quite a few of us around, particularly when you throw meat on a grille. Not so many of us when you have a wrench that needs turning! seriously though, join us for dinner this month. it's always nice to meet a new member.

Over in Angier by mail address but closer to Benson.
I was able to make 1 of the dinners and was a lot of fun. It is hard for me to make them when they are held during the week.

Well then, it sounds like I'm going to have to get out and meet some of you guys.

Benztech, it's funny how when actual work is involved people disappear. lol I like turning wrenches myself. Hell, there are times where I could use a hand on my rig but I manage.

I'll be honest, I'm usually busy during the week from dusk till dawn. Weekends are my only open two days usually. I'd love to meet other Ford fans in the area.

We try to do the dinners during the week, to avoid getting into peoples family time, but have also been trying to get a big group for a couple of cookouts a year. I've been thinking about doing one for spring. Just need the weather to stabalize a bit more before I put anything out there. After all it would suck to smoke meat in the rain and cold. Not to mention I really wouldn't get anyone to get wet while working on sanding the truck down!

It's called "wet sanding" for a reason
If you have female type helping it could be fun
Then again nothing would get done

Dinner in Wake County area?

Me and my Bride live in Wilson and are open to meeting new people over dinner. We have a busy schedule but can make exceptions occasionally. Add us to your list and let us know the dates. Our daytimes are more flexible since we are both retired. Be blessed... Kevin, Wilson, NC.

Hey Kevin, Welcome to the North Carolina Chapter of the FTE.
Look in the threads that are going, and you'll see "Monthly Dinner" just check in and you'll see all of the when and where's.
It's usually a different BBQ joint every month.
And our dinners are always family deals. Everybody's welcome.
We just started talking about the March dinner get together.

Kevin, Welcome to FTE NC area.
I was up you way, Wilson, Friday for my job, just as the wind kicked up and sand blasted me!


As said just keep checking in here and jump in if you want, for information.
