[ARCHIVED THREAD] - … An Arizona luncheon meeting of the minds

Posted: 9/5/2003 6:05:26 PM EDT

… Well sort of, had a great lunch today with a few AZ gunners and the good folks from New York that manage this site. Just not enough time in the day to spend with company that cool. Time we did however was greatly appreciated.
I’ll let the Cavalry Arms and AZEX Arms professionals comment on the factory tours but I have to say lunch was fantastic. We’ll see you all again at Gunstock.

In the mean time, thank you guys for the great couple of hours you visited a few Arizona ARFCOMMERS

… In attendance of today’s power lunch …

I was expecting all heck to break loose when you and Ed Sr. started wrestling for the check.

Thank you Winston_Wolf and thank you Avila Family, that was very generous and unexpected. I had a great time.

Thanks to all, I have the pics and Russ will upload them to my FTP tomorrow, if time permits.

Whoever got the check, thanks for lunch. I'm sorry I had to go early.

I guess I'm not part of the Internet Elite.

I'm still going to attend the Pookies Dinner/show!

Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!
That's what happens every time I end up having to cover someone elses shift.
Oh well, hopefully next time.....

Now, if you are having an after action debrief on the gun show, that I could make.

Hey fellows,I had a wonderful time visiting CavArms and AZEXArms,but having lunch while shooting the breeze and downing a couple of "nectars" in addition to the tours was tops!

It was a privilege for us to finally meet all of the new faces and enjoy the company of known ones.

You are all a class act!

The only things I am sorry about is having missed those of you who could not make it and not having more time to spend here in this beautiful and MOST gun friendly state!

This still has the freedoms many of us lost in the past 50 years!

Gun,Mac,and others..........there will be a next time!

Thanks to all for the hospitality while a guest in your lovely state!

So tell me, did Gadson have any "sappy" stories to tell ya? And did he behave himself?

... Guys, there's a thread that's been floating at the top of the Arizona Hometown Forums by EdAvilaSr called Arizona here I come !, and has been there for a month.

... It was no secret that the Family was coming to town.

A big thank you here for whoever picked up the check.

It was great to meet everyone from the Avila clan, some for the second time.

I hope something like this will happen again next year.

... As hard as I tried to, I thought Goatboy and EdAvilaSr were going to jump me for the bill. They literally took the bill and my card out of my hands, they were running around the restaurant and bar playing hide & seek with Winston_Wolf Visa card until the transaction had taken place.

... We promised to get even with them though!

Damn. They picked up the tab for food? Crap - now I'm REALLY sorry I missed it.

I should have subscribed to the thread. Seems to work a lot better for me than tacking it to my active topics. I'm sure I'll get to meet the infamous Avilas at Gunstock!

Thanks for the pictures,for the tour of your shop and for "taking care of Raul"

We all noticed how he looked at you,from a distance!

Sanguine or sangweene,it does not matter to me.I was very pleased to meet you and the rest of the crew.

I am glad I left TOPCREST with something to think about!

Read his current sigline!

LMAO!
You don't have to worry about GB wrestling you.I guess he figured you were too big and he said "WW took the check...........go get it!"

How about a Left to Right with screen names? Or, someone with photoshop put names on the bodies in the pics...

I mean, for all I know, the guys in the pics could be the gay waiters close friends and have nothing to do with AR15.Com..

I wonder if he put his finger in your food before he served it...hmmmm...Now ya'll will be wondering the same thing...

I will speak for myself,since I am not a fugitive from justice

In the second picture,the three people standing are:Edward(in front of the horse),JLA in the middle,and GoatBoy to the left(and the only one of us wearing a black shirt)

I am sitting in front of JLA ,and I have a white Polo shirt to match my white beard.

As the wife noted,this is the first time all 4 of us show up at the same gathering!

Thanks guys..Treetop sent me a pic with the names (Thanks Top)...I wanted to see what JLA looked like. He refinanced our mortgage for us and I never met him face to face. Everything was done over the phone...Wanted to put a face to a voice..

Hey JLA, you don't look like Ricky Ricardo at all!

Treetop looks pissed off...Topcrest looks either bored or wasted, garyowen looks like TheFNG may have just farted (TheFNG has a smirk on his face like he just did too)..Maybe that's why Treetop is pissed off. It's either that or it's because he had to leave his new bride to be with the likes of YOU GUYS

... Gadsen is the only one really smiling in the picture... It was the waiter, huh D? You can see that gleam in your eyes..Oh wait, that was the flash..

Sorry I missed ya'll...Looks like everyone had a good time...

Hey, anyone thinking of refinancing their home, TALK TO JLA...He's awesome!

Posted: 9/10/2003 9:36:00 PM EDT

[#27]

Sorry, I have that gleam all the time now.

Here's the reason why.

Very attractive lady..Nothing better after a painful experience than a new romance... Kinda makes you forget all the other crap and puts life back into some sort of perspective...

And just some friendly advice...DON'T share your bunny slippers until after at least the 3rd date!
