WHAT: July Meeting of the Carolina Marauders-2nd Annual Cookout @ Frdwrnch's.
WHEN: Saturday July 9, 2005 12:00 pm until.
WHERE: 107 K-Line Rd. Indian Trail, NC 28104.
HOW DO I GET THERE? Take Charlotte's Outer Beltway I-485 to exit 52 Matthews. Go east away from Matthews towards Monroe. Continue at the Stallings Rd. stoplight. Approximately 1.5 miles on the right there will be a fence company with sections of fence displayed in front of the business. Turn right onto K-Line. I am the first house on the street on the left (not the corner house). I will try to secure the gravel lot across the street for parking like last year.

HOPE TO SEE Y'ALL THERE!

Risking reinforcement of my reputation for dotting i's and crossing t's, here is a link to Google Maps that will give a visual to frdwrnch's directions.

Clickety (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=107+K+Line+Dr,+Matthews ,+NC+28104&spn=0.025058,0.044235&hl=en)

Note that it does not say 'Indian Trail' but says 'Matthews'. Don't let that throw you off the scent, it's just NC's way of befuddling tourist and yankees.

Dang, I'm missing you guys meeting by a day! And I love free food!! Seriously, I'm coming to Charlotte for a conference 7/10-13, I wish I would make it in time to meet some of you guys, but I won't be driving up in the MM anyway.

Any suggestions on fun things for the wife and 7yo and 3yo to do while I'm at the conference?

We plan on being there. We will bring watermelon for the group.

Mrjones- If your kids are into amusement parks, Carowinds is on the south side of Charlotte. Your wife would probably enjoy South Park shopping center. WARNING: It is very upscale. Also on the northeast side of Charlotte is Concord Mills mall. It is primarily an outlet mall and is the #1 tourist attraction in the state. It also has lots for kids to see and do.

Can you belive it. It's been
A year already? Time is
Really flying by. There's
One great memory from
Last summer. It was the time
I went with Jean to meet
New friends near Charlotte
And have a BBQ.

Marauder here, Marauder there,
A bunch of Marauders make you stare.
Riders goin' by could have the thought
All of the owners of the cars lived
Under the same roof. There was no
Doubt when you smelled the grill air.
Even the smoke signals that
Rose up over the house
Said "Hot stuff, better watch out!"

Please count Jean and I in. We are bringing slaw.

See you soon!

I'm planning on being there. Don't know what time I will be there though....

I don't know what to bring, since I don't know what time I will arrive. I guess I will just show up, and if you need something, we can take a spin to go pick it up. Hope that is ok....

See ya!!!!

Great! Looks like we're going to have a good turnout. I need to put a call out for some baked beans. Preferably seasoned w/ bacon or something. Pat is a vegitarian so real baked beans aren't quite her forte'. Looks like we have most items covered. I'm anxious to meet some of you for the first time and see Fordnut again as I have been negligent in my correspondence.
Now, back to clean the shop...

We'll bring a 3-bean salad like last year--and like Butch--don't know when we'll be there---some new problems have occurred that may cause my MM to be a no show- --so disappointed---but --on the up-side--we'll get to see all yall and have some good food/talking/looking at cars and stuff....see ya..

SCCH:mad2: Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Just found out that I need to put some stuff together for a presentation next week; looks like I'll be here at the office all week end. &*#$@*& it!!

Looks like I'll have to pass this month, but we'd still like to host everyone down here for a pool party in August. How's Saturday the 20th sound to everyone?

Have fun, let me know about next month.

---some new problems have occurred that may cause my MM to be a no show- --so disappointed---

Notification just received--My MM will likely be there-problem earlier resolved--explain at cookout----a re-tune for new gears and fluid for new hiney --the rest will start on next week--this will give her her initial road feel before next weeks tranny upgrade and guage changes--anyway--and a need for a quick wash at the shop before coming over however---feel like a new DADDY!!!! Somebody hold me down!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana:

Todd, thanks for the flattering words. You were the catalyst to get our group together and we greatly appreciate that! They just closed that Friday's restaurant where we had our first meeting. Tragic.

See you tomorrow.
Russell,
Hope you have a spare crock pot or something to warm up and serve something in. Visiting family in Smithfield tonite, stopped to get a cooler and a gallon of the best Brunswick Stew ever.
