Did I misread earlier?  I thought this had turned
into a supper meet. I might could get there by 7,
but lunch is out for me.

Hmmm...maybe TOB?

... Of who you choose go be friends with 

I can honestly say that YOU were one of the first friends here on this board. And still in good standing...I hope.

For the 1:00pm timeslot I'm going to have to bow out. My hall pass is only good until 1:00pm. 
Maybe another time. Have some BBQ gumbo fer me will ya Brian. It's (my best cousin Eddy...) Gooooooooood! 

Sorry you and Dan can't make it. Not sure who else will be there besides Lisa and myself... need to dig back through the thread and see who I may have missed. Again, since everyone seems to like this place over Jack's this could be a regular lunch/dinner gig. Hope to see you guys soon.

I'll be there at 1:00pm for whoever shows.

EDIT: looks like maybe Will, Dax, Bryant, Donald, Lisa and moi. See y'all there!

Luch @ Smoke is great. Don't forget that they have an awesome happy hour too! Made so by the terrific view from the patio. The patio is across the drive and upstairs from Smoke. Go over and check it out when you're there today. At Rockers vs. Mods scooter Scott, Dangerous Dan and I sat up there and got really happy. Some serious free-pours from my observation.

No worries

I concur.

What a great way to make the workday more "play";  ixnay to the oss-bay on the at-fay ire-tay. 

Ditto. I thought you were talking about a flat tire.

  Good lunch !  Took a couple of photos and threw them in the same Lunch with DFWM'ers folder as the last lunch at Smoke:

Love having a private patio each time when we go - & reserved moto parking out front & good service & food - now if it was just a little less expensive.....

Pics make it official! Nice lunch for sure. Look forward to the next one and hope more folks can join in. Maybe a weekend lunch where it won't jack with folk's work schedules.

fastwin, I found Chris' route map from the '09 Hico run:

    That's a great route.

Thanks Will!! Is that the same route that you guys rode just recently? I remember Chris posting that he had made some changes to the route but I don't know if the '09 that you just posted has had any changes to it?
