All of the "Hey, I am busy that date, can we make it the next week?" and such is finally what killed it. Changing to accommodate one person would conflict with 2-3 others, and in the chaos, it just stopped happening. Pick it, and do it... even if it is you and one other person.

Ok since I started this thread how about Saturday June 17 8 am Rudys barbecue on I 20?

Be there or be square!!

Is that the one in the Arlington Highlands?

Yes I'm on my phone so I didn't look up the address.
It's at I 20 and Matlock Arlington

PM me and I'll give you my phone number. I'll get there early, to save us a place. But just look for the ugliest guy there and it will be me.

I think parabelum and other members are in the Granbury area. If we can get enough interest in that area, I'm there. Just want to start something in the huge DFW area, maybe several somethings, and then have a huge get together,with everyone, to go shooting or just sit around and tell stories (true or not) about our experiences.

I'm willing to travel, so if you have a place to suggest, don't be afraid to post it.
I used to work at Alliance airport. Drove up there every morning for a two years, so meeting up on a Saturday morning won't be a problem for me. I just don't want the mosquito capital of Texas to be able to do something we can't do. Let's just make it happen, we can alternate locations, to keep one person, or group to have to do all the driving.

Works for me. It is only about 30 miles from my house. I'm flexible, within reason, I don't mind going a little further. I just want to have a meet and greet with all of the folks I banter with on here.

BBQ for breakfast? Ok, this is Texas after all. I'm in.

I don't see it on their website, but I would have sworn they had a breakfast menu. After all, they open at 6 am. I'll try to swing by tomorrow or the next day and report back.

I drive past there every day and have never stopped. Need to check it out.

On a separate off-topic but somehow related note we ate at a new bbq place between Mansfield and Burleson on 1187 Saturday. It's worth stopping if you are passing by and hungry. Plus there's a gun store next door, which was our reason for being in that area!

Mrs. Jusme and I were going to go there the second weekend they were opened, but they were "making adjustments" and were closed. I do plan on going there again. I have been in the gun store several times, but never found anything I couldn't live without...yet.

We don't have to make it the same place every month, that way we can "spread the wealth" so to speak, so that the same folks don't have to drive as far each time.

I have been reading the posts of the folks who live in Houston, regarding their monthly breakfast get-togethers, and I would like to do the same thing in my area.

I live in Alvarado, about 25 miles south of FT. Worth. I would be willing to drive to Ft. Worth, south Arlington, Mansfield, or anywhere else within 30 miles or so, to be able to get together with other forum members. It will have to be on Saturdays, because I work during the week, and church obligations preclude most Sunday opportunities.

Please chime in with suggestions of locations, dates, etc, and see if we can get a bunch of us together to keep the Houston folks from having all of the fun!!

There is a Our Place restaurant in Burleson, as well as, one in Mansfield, that are well known for breakfasts, but I am open to other suggestions.
