FAST Monday - Jan 18

Postby Loren » Fri Jan 15, 2016 1:27 pm

Well, Tampa Bay Brewing (the new Oldsmar location, a stone's throw from Tampa Bay Downs) is working well for us. We're gonna stick with it for a while. Probably until we get tired of the menu, or they get too busy for us. So far, so good.

We'll be there again this Monday bragging about how well we did at Saturday's autocross, or spouting our excuses in excruciating detail as appropriate.

You'll find us on the patio (or maybe inside if it's cold) from about 6:30-9:00 or so.

Post if you're coming!

Since I don't have to work, I'll probably be there.

I'll probably wander in around 7:15.

Looks like it's gonna be cold again. When will this madness end???

What if we both wear socks and secure the fire table... outside?

If'n you really want to. I'll readily wuss out below 60, though. But, I'll wear jeans, socks and bring a warm jacket!

Forecast now says low of 38.... hmmm, not sure it will even be 50 by that time. Suppose we should be nice to the staff and just hold up inside... lol.

I probably won't be there until around 7:15. Coming from Land O' Lakes this afternoon. Hope to find you all warm inside. :)

Geez, we had quite the crowd tonight! 12-14 people, I think?

I didn't realize it until around 9:00, but I was leaning against a cold brick wall, which contributed to me feeling like I was freezing my ass off. The fact that it was freakin' cold was also a contributing factor!

Anyway, good to see y'all this evening.

Yes..it was a bit chilly this evening...my friend Chuck and I actually left Cape Coral about 3:30... And did not put the top up until about 5 miles away from the Tampa Bay Brewing restaurant...

Good food...good conversation...nice group of folks all around...I was very glad that I dragged Chuck all the way u there this evening...

Next trip down might be a little different

Off to REVS institute in the morning and back to the real world tomorrow evening...

Thank you very much for welcoming us to your group

Joe
