I got an open seat. NonComformist dropped out. We will be leaving early, not a trip for wussies. We plan a ETA of 8:15 or so in Lakeland for breakfast before the 9:00 am opening.....the first "I'll take it" gets the seat..............

Well, there you have it.............. |
|
|
When you start geting close to Lakeland better go ahead and catch a Cracker Barrel or something.
Pickings are slim in the Downtown/lakeland Center area. |
|
So Osprey rides Shotgun, and I have the backseat all to myself!
On the way over, that is.... BTW, what time do we leave there? Wanna be back in Venice at a decent time.

jj's an ol' Polk county boy, he's got some greasy spoon on the wrong side of the tracks over there he frequents. |
|
|
Works fer me. I'll on the way back.
2, maybe 2.5 hours, and I'm done. |

|
Aint happening! This is like two LARGE gunshows in one. Not only do they have all the usual assholes with overpriced shit for sale but the sponsoring club has numerous tables of exhibits like old S&W's ETC that will keep you there drooling for a while. A QUICK trip through the lakeland club show is 4.5 to 6 hours |
|
|
Watch me I've been there many times. Now I go with a specific purpose(s) and then get out. Granted, I may have to sit in the car for a bit while the others are drooling, but I'm done. ETA: besides, if the breakfast place is anything like jj says it is, we may not make it out alive. |

|
We go in with a point man, one facing the front door, one watching the cook, we should be O.K.... jj |

Just got off the phone w/ Jeff. I'll be in the back seat w/ you Dan flirting w/ you the whole way! Great stuff eh? I'll bring my laptop so we can browse the net while in route. Watch a movie while the old guys chat in the front seat? I have plenty of Blues Clues or Teletubbies too if you're into that kind of stuff!
Sweetness! |
|
O.K., we have a full boat. MormonC claimed the last seat. If Tom and Dan can find a common parking spot.....I'll drive the SUV to haul gear back.......I'll IM pickup times.....
That is all money burnin' a hole jj |
|

||
|

Let's park at the McDonald's on Jacaranda. It's right off the Interstate for Indiana Jones on his way up from the Cape and the management there let's ppl park there all day w/o having a problem w/ it. What time will you be swinging through Jacaranda Dr. Jones? |
|
|
I'll IM you.... |

|
There is always "Fat Jacks" just down the road. All the attitude, half the service, and twice the price.
Just kidding, I eat there often. Omelets are better than pancakes. Biscuits and gravy tops em all..... Just a hint, Steve L. |
|
OUCH! |
|
|
That's right Jut! That's right! LOL j/k |
||
|

|
|
Fine! Fine! |
||
|
Can you fine folks post the when and where's of this show.
Obviously it is not part of the Suncoast Gunshow tour because that is slated for Feb/06' |
|
|
Hmmmm, really....I'll have to try it!! Guys, if I cannot get at least 3 patrons to recognize me when we go in....I'll buy. ......and I live in Fort Myers...... |
|
|
Pffffft!....... you're prolly akin to most Polk Co. |
|
|
....and their click |
||
|
Who'da thunk it. |
|
|
Deal!! And no pushin' them! They have to come up to you, and squeeze your cheek like grandma's do, and say: "Oh, look, it's little Jeff! Oh, My Word, has he grown up! Whaddaya say Jeff, Pankcakes with extra sirup? Like the olden days??? -Oh and remember the time when you and your pops went fishin' from the bridge at old man Turner's place and....blah blah blah" You get the picture. No: "Hey aunt Flo, remember me, Jeff??......Please?????? |
||
|
Ooo... Guess what I finished tonight? I'm cutting it into 4 different file sizes and I still have to upload them. In the meantime, please enjoy.
|
|
That was very very cool! |
|
|
So we're still meeting at Jacaranda McD's at 0630, right!?
Tom, Dr. Jones?? |
|
|
Well, anyone looking to kill us, now knows where to find us. So the answer is.......yes. |
|
|
Well, you guys are packing, right? |
||
|
I usually do but are we allowed to in a Gun Show? I never knew the "rules" on that. |
|||
|
As do I but, loaded weapons are prohibited past the ticket table. |
||
|
So it's either carry all day and leave our "toys" behind in Jeff's car or don't carry at all. |
|||
|
You don't have to leave behind the piece, just the ammo...... |
||||
|
Dan,
Any specific movie you might want to see that I can bring? |
|
You want me to bring some DVD's?
Otherwise , the ARFCOM meeting movies will do just fine
|
|
|

|
|

Sitting in the car looking at the back of Osprey's head and Jeff is talking about stuff he doesn't know what he's talking about. He just said the word "server". LOL
Now it's silent as Jeff says, "Excuse me while I pass on the right." Uh oh.. he's speeding up. He just passed 80! How dangerous!!! |
