Well just got back home from the GTG at Budweiser..

It was good seeing everyone again and we added some new blood..

Thanks for coming Bill... Hopefully we didn't scare you off..


I have some pictures of the days events.

This is the entrance...



The boys all lined up in a row with the newly fallen snow..



Here is a statue of Big Scott a Clydesdale..



Here is the brewhouse where the magic happens...



Here are a few of the tanks...



Here is a photo of the boys partaking of the free samples..
No Ken is not drunk he always looks that way..



Here is a picture of the bar that we are going to get for the MA chapter club house...



The final one is of a loyal Red Sox fan's mode of transportation...
Can't you just see Carl and Shaun driving around in there??

Don...Bobby...Nicolas...Dick...Bill...and our newest attendee Bill...good to see you guys. Hope to see you at our next GTG in January.

Gotta run...need to catch up on the stuff I put off in order to go today!!!

The tour and lunch were very enjoyable as was the company. The MA chapter is not a scary bunch at all (well, maybe Ken is when he turns all flinty-eyed at the dealership) and we had some good laughs. I look forward to seeing everyone again!

Wish I could have made that one, looks like a good time - I was literally about 2 miles away on one trip today. But never seem to have the luxury of a Sunday to myself...

You know Jim...I actually thought of you today. The Garmin took me down Route 13 on our way home...and...there it was. The road sign with a big arrow pointing to the left saying Pepperell. I figured you were probably out on an ambulance run or chasing some cows or something of the sort!!!

Just remember..the New Massachusetts Chapter is an insidious force...we will get to you...you will attend one of our GTGs. No use in continuing to resist...you can't fight it!!! Be afraid...be very afraid!!!

Wish I could have been there, but after emptying my accounts to put a down payment on the Expedition, I had to even give up the daily stop at the Donut shop till this coming Friday when I get my next paycheck.

And its not like the donut shop is a daily detour and therefore I could now just drive direct to work each day.

Regardless of what street I choose to take I have to get to 'that' intersection and I'm driving right past them.

They must wonder what happened after six months of daily visits.
