Looks good Mark... Silver is kind of rubbing off on me now....
Guys:
So I got the itch to remove my hood liner. I never much liked the look of it anyways. Seems to have cleaned up the look under my hood. I have seen other people do it and it looks like more of a "cleaner" look to me.
Its got a little bit of factory marking on it, but for the most part its really clean. Its a dull silver color. No clear coat on it for sure.
I like it !

Guys:
Were thinking of a new GTG location. I know I'm not alone thinking were sick of the food at Twin Peaks.
Here are some of the things were considering for a new location
1.) A place the wives will feel comfortable in.
2.) Decent pricing
3.) Maintain a location somewhat close to the area were in now (east side).
4.) A decent variety of food.
5.) Good parking we can all park together.
I was just thinking of a few spots (not in any order)
1.) Duke's Roadhouse - (NE corner of 75/Parker Rd)
http://www.dukesoriginalroadhouse.com/plano/index.html
Nice patio ! Parking is a little weird though, but there is a large very well lit parking lot just beside the restaurant. Large menu.
2.) Chuy's Mexican. (NE 75, just north of Parker Rd)
http://www.chuys.com/
Parking would no issue. Large well lit strip mall out back. Limited to Mexican food. Not sure if everyone would like that.
3.) Two Rows - (NE corner of 75/Bethany)
http://tworows.com/locations/allen.php
If your into beer,,, this is a good spot ! Large menu. I think the parking should be ok. Menu is quite extensive.
I'm still searching around for options. How far do we want to venture from our area ? I know there is a Rudy's BBQ in Allen ? I don't want to loose anyone from our GTG because of driving distance. We have a great group of guys right now.
Any thoughts on options ? Or is there one of the above that holds interest ?

We were first based in Murphy, then moved to Sachse, then Garland. Our original intent moving to the Plano area was to try to provide a middle ground for people living more west. We have some folks driving down from Anna right now, and a few from Frisco too. Moving to Frisco I fear would discourage some folks on the east side. We want to find a middle ground. Its already a 20 min drive for me from Wylie at our current location. I would not think its more than 20 mins for you from Fricso right ?

Guys:
The above locations are just a few I threw out on the table. Feel free to chime in with other locations. We can all discuss here and decide what works best for us all. It is a democracy after all...
