Default SMC/ETCC weekly romps

Due to some really poor managerial decisions at Quaker Steak & Lube last night, we will be finding a new place to have our Tuesday night dinners.

Next week we will be going to Red Robin in the Turkey Creek area. Surely it has slowed down enough to get in. Paul has involuntarily stepped up and will be making sure we have a table for 7:00

hope to see everyone there

oh - it was AWESOME to see Tony and Marie again after a long haitus of work scheduling conflicts

a minor issue that came up, was brought to the managers attention, he chose to be a $%ck and we told him that we would take our 14 peep average and all the $$ that goes with it across the street to Hooters.

corporate has been notified of the incident and they are extremely upset at mgmt and said that it will be dealt with

As long a we've been patronizing that place, I definetely would have expected more professionalism from the management. Sounds like you handled it well. Our money spends elsewhere.

Got any room for outsiders?

I'll be on the west side on Monday and Tuesday for a training class. If I don't get out early enough on Tues to beat the traffic, I may just stick around for dinner.

That place sure is convenient for Lisa and I, but we have never really enjoyed eating there. Too bad because I like the setup that they have. Oh well, maybe the next manager will be a little nicer.

We usually meet every Tuesday around 7:00 pm, but some people get there earlier, so anywhere from 6:00 to 9:00. Come hang out with us. I'd love to see the car.

How many miles on your car now? I'm going to guess 65,244. How close did I get?



Just so everyone knows what I am talking about, *89x2* has an '08 that has had a blower on it since day one. His car had 11,000 miles on it last June. Today it has over 64,000! He's driven it in 41 states. Awesome! Check his thread out:

Good memory! By the time I get to TN, I should have ~ 66,500 on the car

I'll do my best to make it! depends on my Monday meeting though...


I am hoping this is for 5/19.... Otherwise, I'll have to stay tuned for the following week...

Actually this is for the 12th. The Red Robin here is new so we haven't been there yet. If it is as good as you say, then we can meet there on the 19th also.

We'll have to OK it through our "Coordinator" first.

Red Robin has great gourmet burgers and anything burger, can be had as a chicken sandwich, for something lighter...

Bottomless fries and awesome seasoning
I eat there two - three times/week and always get the Royal burger w/ pepperjack

We've never met. I saw his thread a little while back and remembered it. When you see ~70,000 miles on a one year old vette, it tends to stand out.

for our Red Robin get together I'd like to get all the vettes to park together in the Belk parking lot just to the right of the entrance. so when u come in at the red light off of TUrkey Creek, Red Robin will be on your left and the large lot will be on your right. park there, lets get them all grouped together.
