If no flies swim in my ointment and I stay on schedule, I'll leave Mineola for Phoenix on Saturday. I'll stop off to see my sister in Mesquite, then hit the road again.
Anyone up for a late lunch/early dinner somewhere in Dallas? My only big requirement for the location is that it must have parking for a Nissan Frontier pulling a 6 X 12 Uhaul trailer.
I'm thinking 2 to 3 pm.
Anyone?
I'm heading to Dallas to meet Brother at about 4 or 5ish. So, I may be able to hit the location you all decide if I can get my a$$ moving early Saturday. [thumbsup]
I'm going to shoot for being at the Old Monk at 3pm.
If anyone can make it, would love to see you!

I know this was late notice and all. Sorry about that. Doesn't seem there's any interest (except my caffine friend of course).
The computer gets packed tomorrow early afternoon. Please let me know if you can show before then.
Thanks,
Norris
Sorry, I'd love to stop by the Monk and have a beer Norris but it will be tough to committ to. We are leaving town at the crack of dawn (yeah... right :P) Sunday morning for vacation and the family expects me to do everything... and I do mean everything in the way of packing, shopping for trip, etc. As much as I'd love to have a "farewell for now but I will see you later" beer with you instead of all the s#@t I have to do I will have a wimp out and take a wait and see attitude. That's lame but that's pretty typical for me. ;D Where the hell you gonna park the truck and trailer in that part of town? That's like trying to park the space shuttle on lower Greenville Ave!! Maybe you can just show at the Monk and see what the cat drags in. I'll give it an honest try. [thumbsup]
I would make it Nordog... but I have to be AT work at 3:00 :(
Safe travels.
Have FUN!
Learn cool stuff for us to know.
Come back soon!
And be safe (but no TOO safe ;D )

Thanks Rich, will do.
Well, with no response other than you guys, it's probably best that I just hit the road.
I'll miss you groovy guys and gals, chicks and dudes!
Stay safe; stay in touch (I will); stay fast!

Norris,
How long does the school last? In other words when will you be back in town? I would love to get together then for food or drinks, maybe if you come to visit the folks. I don't know about others but I am sorry I can't meet up on Saturday for sure. Just bad timing for me. I'd damn sure rather be sitting at the Monk or Dubliner sipping a Newcastle than packing up stuff for a road trip.
Travel safe and please keep in touch with the mob and let us know how the school and the new digs are. [thumbsup]
See ya'
Brian
Thanks Brian.
My projected grad date is 11 Nov 2009. Hope to return for Christmas, but the remains to be seen.

[moto] Norris - Cat & I had to wait until just now to find out if an appointment we have on Saturday would allow us to come to the Monk and see you off - and we can make it - if you will be there. Let us know - PM me if you like - because we will probably have eaten but will gladly have a beer with you ! If you need to move on or we miss you - no problem we may just go a have a beer in your honor without you [beer]
I know you've probably heard this before - and some may consider it trite - and you may not be Irish - and even though we only have known you briefly we mean every word!
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
The sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
Keep the shiny side up & good luck out west - Cat & Donald [moto]
i may be able to make this also, if you're thinking about dropping in...just let us know.
