    Sooo... I'm WAAAY overdue for getting Drive n' Dine's back up and running. It's about that time...


    This Saturday, 7/26/2014 we will do a Drive n' Dine to The Smokin' Oak in Redwing MN.

    I'm shooting for a late lunch/early dinner. I have an afternoon obligation I need to nail down before setting a firm departure time. Most likely we'll cruise down from the IGH Walmart (same as LAX). The route will include some "interesting" bits.

    Details tomorrow!

    Red Wing is two words :p

    And I might be able to join, depending on how late you guys leave and how quickly I can help the gf move.

    Unfortunately I now need to graciously back out. I forgot my charity motorcycle ride is Saturday morning. Then the soon to be wife is demanding help with wedding planning. Buh bye balls. Sorry Surly....maybe next time..

    For the moment it's looking a bit later. I have a standing 2:00 appt I'm trying to get moved a little earlier, but I HAVE to keep it if that's not possible. Tentatively looking at a departure around 4:00 or so, which puts us closer to the customary Sat dinner rush but whatever. Not a big response so far anyway so it's probably a non-issue.

    Alright folks, I'm locking in a 3:30 departure time with an estimated arrival at The Smokin Oak around 4:15. Please let me know if you plan to attend so I can give them a heads up.

    So far it's looking like 6-8 folks. Weather is looking decent. Let me know if we have any more joiners. I'll be calling ahead around 2:30.

    Interesting dinner conversation. Wolff and the road rallies and Surly's automobile journalist buddy. And really good brisket! Thanks Surly!

    Yessir! That's what it's about IMO. Find yourself a little technical strip of asphalt, use it as an excuse to get some interesting folks gathered around a table for a meal. :)
