Gee Mick, I didn't know that Sterling is an hour plus drive from Herndon. I left Herndon at 6:00 p.m. and was at Dixie Bones at 6:45.

Where the heck were you guys? I was the first one there, went in and ordered some grub. I came out and there were two vettes parked next to mine. I wasn't about to go back in and ask everyone who owned the vettes. Thats what I get I guess for not positioning myself to see the parking lot from inside.
So who's sweet blue C6 was that?

Last time Dan and I came to Dixie Bones we brought Leslie's atomic orange car and it took us almost 105 minutes to get there! You never can tell until you get to the Reston Hospital on the parkway - if you're backed up when you get to the bridge going over the toll road the you are out of luck all the way there - if its clear I guess you can do it in 40-45 minutes. (Not knowing, I always plan for the worst.)

Besides, I ended up with a 5pm meeting anyway. Sorry I missed it.

We were there. We sat at the long table in the back.
The blue C6 is GentleBen's.

Oh geez, I thought you were just a random dude who mistook me for someone you knew since you were not in a corvette. I waved back as a courtesy.
I expected everyone to be in their vettes.
