Well alright! If Troy and Jimmy are going to be there I'll save some money for the bridge and come on over.
BTW Since I don't drink coffee, do you think I could get a glass of water?

Wish I could come, but heading up north on Sunday. My son moved out today, so we are officially empty nesters. At 22yo he saved his money after graduation last year and was able to purchase his first home just north of Greenlake. I am very sad he is gone, but he was able to negotiate the price waaaaayyyy down, seller paid all closing costs, 30 year fixed mortgage at 5% interest, and he gets a check back this spring for $8000 from our new President for a first time homebuyers credit. I am very happy for him and a proud mother, but miss him already .... it's been two hours.

I think that being able to raise children to survive on their own is the greatest accomplishment a parent can achieve. Congratulations, Greta. Look forward to meeting you one day.

Larry I'll give you the coffee money to get your P-car back across the narrows.

Your auto insurance is probably bigger than my monthly mortgage Mark - you'd better stay in Gig Harbor.

I already wrote a reply over on F-chat but again, it was nice to meet some of you guys and finally put a face with a name.. after reading a lot of threads/comments on here, I felt like I already know some of you. I like this location for future events- definitely has potential. Thank you Mike (Mordalo) for picking up everyones coffee tab- that was really nice of you. looking forward to the veterans drive in May.
lets do this again!

And after driving all over Gig Harbor for 45 minutes looking for the real location, I feel like I know the place like the back of my hand. Nice to see/meet everyone this moring. I agree, seems like a good regular spot for meets. There's TONS of extra spaces for parking, and I don't know about the rest of you, but I thought every single one of the cars looked absolutely EXOTIC today!
Post pics if you've got 'em, and let me know if this happens again, I'd love to come back.
