Nice! ^

Oh my. No, no no no. That simply will not do. You must come back to AUS so we can get more good beer into you.

Mrs. Mackie and her mother used to drink that swill, but I converted Mrs. Mackie into a flavorful beer drinker.

Though, she's still quite happy after only two. :D

OK...as next week unfolds, I'll have a better idea of timing. I'll keep you posted.

Pretty much exactly what he has said to several of us in person. At the SMD1 reception in ORD, he expressed a pretty genuine-sounding sense of surprise to me. I don't think he's ever really seen a group of people create the sense of community that we have here, and I know for a fact that Teh Box warms his cockles. He also acknowledged to me with people in earshot that AA and UA are very hard fora to be a new guy in.

I definitely would be up for another afternoon spent outside leisurely sipping a hefeweizen(or two) at the beer/wine place you brought us to!:-:^:)

Do you think you might be able to make it down for the Soccer DO in Jersey on June 12?

I hope belynch doesn't :rolleyes: at me for inserting some nerd into his ! thread.

Me too. I had a wonderful and relaxing time drinking at that place. In fact I enjoyed all the places we went drinking to. ^

Unfortunately, I can't. I'll just be getting back from SFO Thursday night and will have lots of :rolleyes: to catch up on here. I've had a harder time getting together with the NY/NJ Box contingent than the IAH/AUS contingent.

The Mexican Margarita of Death™ ^:D

There are a lot of C130s, all being rotated in to new C130Js.

B-1s are maintained, flown etc from there as well.

Yep, my trip is going to be nuts as well.

The Mexican Martini is an Austin institution. :-:

Ack, MARTINI! That's it. I knew margarita wasn't quite right.@:-) Must have been the never ending shaker. Thank god ALCO was around to help me finish it.

Anyone in H-Town down for a drink this evening?

I need the recipe for this drink. I loved it and should have had another one but I didn't want to scary colpuck off. :D
