You're Invited!

Colorado Kid · December 18, 2002

I've decided.

We're getting together on Monday Jan 13th at 5:30 PM in Longmont. You all have until next Monday to suggest where or else I'll pick the watering hole too!

colosilverado · December 18, 2002

I'll be there! I don't care where. I don't know Longmont that well, so you can pick the spot CK!

Colorado Kid · December 26, 2002

OK, Here's the deal

5:30 PM Monday 1/13/03

Mike O'Shays

512 Main Street

Longmont

Good food and good are both available.

If you want to come why don't you mention it here, so I can warn them if a crowd is gonna take over the place.

colosilverado · December 31, 2002

Sounds good to me. That's right down on Main, right?

I work at NYCE corporation, up on Mountain View and Main.

Colorado Kid · December 31, 2002

Yup,

It's on the east side of Main (also known as US 287).

Winchell's is too far south, and DQ is too far north.

Anybody else going to come?

Hey just my 2 cents worth............

Sounds like we are all up in the front Range that could be going to this thing......... I'm from Eaton, which colokid should know where that is

This silverado dude is from Loveland, so why not jam somewhere local instead of driving all the way to longmont, however that is where I bought my truck from....... Herbert motors rules. And Weld County Garage service center is the bomb...........

2002 GMC Sierra SLT Z71 2 weeks old.........

Future mods

Gibson Dual Side Swept exhaust

Amber DRL's

High 4 light kit

Chrome wheel moldings (Install tomorrow)

Let me know and maybe we could go to sportscasters in Fort collins or somewhere else?

I set it up for Longmont because 97Z71 and colosilverado (who has the coolest name in the forum!) both work there.

If you want to set one up feel free...so far it looks like there may only be two of us in Longmont on the 13th, but there's still time....

Ok OK OK, I got the e-mail, been hanging with the corvette guys lately, sorry......... plus it IS snowmobile season.

If monday the 13th in Longmont is it, fine with me, count me in. Mike's will work for me, but I can not guarentee the 5:30 timeline, but will try, usually get out of work closer to 6.......

So is this the date and place????????

Let's have a beer or 2, or 3, or ???

colosilverado · January 5, 2003

I still plan on being there. Our company is moving into our new building that weekend, down south of town. My brain will will hopefully be functioning that day.You know, new routine and that type of thing....

Isn't Eaton where Classical Gas is? I usually run up that way and out eat on 392 to go shooting.

Platteville looks like a decent little town, too.

Zane · January 6, 2003

hey guys, make sure to take some pictures!

cowboy02 · January 6, 2003

Yeah Eaton is where clasical gas is at. I actually live about 2 miles straight east of clasical gas. Where do you go shooting at? What do you shoot? Are you a hunter? Maybe we could hook up sometime and go shooting. I"m a member at the Galeton shooting range, and also know quite a few shotgun places. Let me know and maybe we can setup a shooting weekend instead....

Have a goodin.........

So far it looks like colosilverado, 97Z71 and I are going to be there. Anyone else?

By the way cowboy02...the Eat'n Place is not bad at all, but not necessarily better than the Double-Tree.

The Ace Hardware store up there is one of my haunts, and one of the best there is. If we had one of those in Platteville I might never drive north! :thumb:

I'll also agree with you on Weld County Garage Truck City...at least parts and service...they were mighty proud of their trucks when I wanted to order though.

Since I work in the big city I've also found Transwest GMC to have a great parts and service department. They were even worse than WCG for only having loaded trucks at high $$$$$ though. They wouldn't order a 2WD D-max for me at all!

cowboy02 · January 7, 2003

When was the last time you ate there? AT the eaton place? It's changed ownership within the last 3 months and is not as good as it used to be... But the double tree Is a great place to eat....... I really like there food. :thumb:

And ace hardware in Eaton is the bomb.... Gene the old guy in there is really cool. And dave manages to find some good guns to keep stocked back in the back. Yeah my dad used to order parts from Transwest trucks all the time. Way back when they used to have a truck store up around the Greeley area but now they are pretty much all Big rig stuff up here in greeley. Weld county garage just falls victom to installing to many bells and whistles, and they are a small dealership that doesn't have the volume..... So when I bought my truck I prety much whent where the truck was...

OH and I have GM SUPPLIER DISCOUNT..

Can't go wrong there find the truck and don't wory about having to dick on price. I get it for 2 % over sticker.

Hey where did you say you go shooting at?

Colorado Kid · January 8, 2003

That's a shame when somebody goes in a screws up a perfectly good business. It's been years since I ate there.

Dave at the Ace Hardware is an old friend, and if you descibed my truck to him he'd probably tell you my name!...One time he loaded a pallet (long ton...2400#+pallet weight) of pellet stove fuel onto my '91...which already had 800# of concrete block and probably 250# of tool box and tools on it. 1500 series pickups don't do so well with 3,700# of load, but the springs weren't bottomed and I made it to Platteville. After that I bought a half ton at a time, or used the new truck.

I didn't have a supplier discount, but I did have $5296.23 in GM Card Discount, $2002 "Overdrive" Rebate $1,000 Fuel Tank Settlement and $500 "Talk It Up" Rebate...plus I haggled down to invoice + 2% at Burt, so I did OK

cowboy02 · January 8, 2003

Yah you did ok there bud..........

I think I'm gonna have to pass on the Drinks over in Fort collins I've got a Basketball game that night up in Wellington at 7:00pm Don't think I should go after drinking might just

Maybe we can hook you up with something later.......
