LOL yeah well, just walk back to your home base before I hit you in the ball and strike up some more controversy than I can fit on my plate.

This sounds like it'd be a great time. See a little baseball and enjoy the company of friends

Can't wait to see some pix.

LOL met up with TNAV and we went to Moe's then Smitty joined us. Later on Chattanoogan met up with Smitty and I

This is the best I could do for pics

TNAV had the Quesadilla

Hopefully I'll have more pic from tomorrow/today's GTG and from the game...

There is a black AV at the hotel - did TrAV come early?

mhough · « **Reply #10 on:** May 16, 2009, 01:06:28 AM »

Let's meet at the old Circuit City (2208 Hamilton Place Blvd) at 1:00. This will allow for folks to get checked in at such.

If you're going north on 75 take the Shallowford Road exit and turn right, then take another immediate right get into the left lane. With in a few hundred feet you'll see the plaza to the left and the once Circuit City store. Turn left into the parking lot.

If you're coming south on 75 take Shallowford exit and turn left. Once over Rt 75 take the 1st possible right and stay in the left right turn lane. With in a few hundred feet you'll see the plaza to the left and the once Circuit City store. Turn left into the parking lot.

From hotel. Go back towards Shallowford Rd and turn left on Shallowford. Once over Rt 75 take the 1st possible right and stay in the left right turn lane. With in a few hundred feet you'll see the plaza to the left and the once Circuit City store. Turn left into the parking lot.

<yawn>

Good morning. We'll see everyone soon!!

mhough · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2009, 10:05:10 AM »

Thanks too all for coming to our 1st GTG... More to come! Hopefully next time the rain won't ruin parts of it. It was good seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I can feel a good vibe and I think the ETAC and TNAVs will begin to grow stronger yet. Smitty, sorry we left before you got back and then the rain came to keep you from joining up with us later.

During the day we had a nice sunny and quite warm day. So 1st we decided to get some lunch. We went to Anker's who has some mighty fine food, mainly the onion rings

Well with in tradition here some shot at the restaurant...

This guy was too quick to get a good shot - River Otter

Some trout that I should have caught a couple of weeks ago.

If you look real hard you can see some Poison Dart Frogs (blue and black & yellow)

This guy is looking at Chattanoogan and thinking: "Hmm lunch!"

mhough · « **Reply #16 on:** May 18, 2009, 10:08:01 AM »

So we go to the stadium and the skies just open up on us. After waiting they call the game so we go grab a bite to eat.

The gang...

mhough · « **Reply #25 on:** May 18, 2009, 10:15:06 AM »

Me --> :beating: <--Me Man I'm so upset with myself that I didn't get to take pics of all the trucks. I did manage to snap a couple of TrAVelingman's before I got sidetracked and started gabbing...

I guess that means y'all need to come back so I can take more pictures....

oHIobellboy · « **Reply #26 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:28:20 PM »
