Tuesday Nepa and his wife will pass through my town and I hope to meet him for lunch. I wanted TestRocket and GusRobin to go as well but TestRocket is to busy and I can't find Gus! Gus if you read this PM me with a phone number!
What town they passing through?
Hey how about a group picture so I can see what some of you characters look like. I don't suppose you guys will have salad for lunch.
Kirby ;D
Tranquility base
The nepas has landed in Huntsville Alabama ;D
We will be here until tomorrow afternoon after my wife has her ATCT visit then lunch with TMB, GR and TR
Huntsville? That's where I bought my used "BUS" back in '02...
SEVEN HOUR drive from Springfield, illinois... but glad I did it...
That bus is still purring like a kitten (and hauled me & Squirt up to Iowa yesterday!)
Y'all have BIG FUN down there, Awrighten?
Way cool! Have fun gents.
Sounds like fun, Don't let Nepas talk you into convertin your car to run on Sausage and peperoni sticks ;D

LOL ;D I feel it will never see to light of day!! ;)
Can't wait for a report on this one. :D
The meeting! Well it happened , the 4 of us got together for a few min's to meet and chat. Nepa is one great guy, he even brought gifts!
First picture is GusRobin, TMB, Nepa. 2nd picture is GusRobin, Nepa and TestRocket (we couldn't find a person to take our picture)
Third picture is goodies Nepa brought to share.
We had a great time and we all made a new friend. Nepa is one of those people you meet very little these days and that's a shame.
We started to meet for lunch at David Gibson's (Kin to Big Bob Gibson's BBQ) but Nepa's wife was running late and we met at Wally world, hey will make a redneck out of Nepa just you wait! He does speak kinda funny though, not sure if we can add a southern draw to that voice or not? LOL ;D
Thanks Rick for the CT and sausage and the links I'll put them to good use I promiss! Pictures will follow of what I do with them. Be careful on the trip and you and your wife enjoy your time on the road.

Short notice. Skipped out of work for a long lunch but had to return. For some reason they frown when you have beer for lunch. We were going to meet at Gibson's for some BBQ but Mrs NePas' appointment took longer than expected so we ended up in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Seems like everytime I meet someone from this forum it is in a parking lot, we are swapping bags, and someone is taking pictures. Why does it always feel like a meth deal going down? It was great meeting Rick and seeing TMB and Test Rocket again. Just wish we could of had more time. As noted, it was short notice so I didn't have any wampum to exchange so I need to send Rick some goodies when he ever gets back home. He gave me some CT, some jerky, and sausage sticks. Broke into the jerky, and I think after I "master" sausage making I'll move on to jerky.
I'm glad to see we're not the only ones meeting beerless in parking lots! ;D

Remember when a beer @ lunch was ok?
Sounds like you guys had a good meeting. We've met some of the Mrs. online friends - at disney usually - I know how it goes.
Road Trip Getaway becomes Road Trip Get Together!
Awesome!!
Gotta love swapping the swag! That NePaS is an OK guy.
Very cool!
Yeah, beer for lunch would be frowned upon here as well..

We probably need to set some rules before this beerless thing becomes contagious! ::)

I should have cut some of the quotes out... I was referring to FLBentrider's meeting of online friends.

The first of many stops for Rick. Its always cool to meet others from the forum. I think by time Rick gets back to PA his cooler will be empty but will have met many of the forum members. BTW.... I do not think he speaks funny. ??? ;D

;D Yeah, he sounds OK to me too here in NE Pa ;D
Tommy called me at 12:10 and said the meet was on and I left the house within 5 minutes. My cell phone rang again when I was about a mile from Gibson's and he tells me about plan "B" Wally World parking lot in Madison. Hey, NePaS drove 1000 miles I can drive half way across the county! I told Tommy I was only 3 minutes from him and if he would wait we could follow each other. It was more like trying to "keep up" with my 4 cylinder pickup floored and TMB's V8 truck only a blur in the traffic ahead of me.
The visit was short and sweet (well once I taste the treats he gave me I'm thinking it will be more smoky then sweet) and knowing our time was so short the conversation bounced around a lot as we all asked questions of each other to do our best get to know each other a little better.
To NePaS and his wife I say "be safe and have fun" on this long road trip still ahead of you and "thank you" for the kind treats. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet the better half this time but I really enjoyed meeting Rick!

Yes I do believe there was beer at the best campground in CT!
And there will certainly NOT be a lack of "Adultury beverages" or "wobbly pops" at the FLSO.
Cheers! As I take a sip of a fine southern whiskey for fun to be had by all!

Not to much, save some for my bourbon sauce! ;D
Man it sounds like this should be called NEPAS' World Tour! Even though it was short it still sounds like you guys had a great time! Again its nice to put faces next to other forum members. Cant wait to meet NEPAS one his FL leg of the "World Tour".
And Gus, get ready for some more swag. I'm sending out a box for you tomorrow.

Drawing on a napkin with a pencil you took from the local hotel, DOES NOT qualify as a Southern Draw Rick!!
