Toronto Area Members - Friday Night Beers?

Started by Shakey, November 24, 2006, 02:35:45 PM

It's Friday night, the kids will be in bed by 8:00 PM   :sleep:   :thumbs:, the Wifes got a headache   ::)   :rotz:  so we're headin' out for a few beers.   :cheers:

If anyone is interested in joining myself & Dodge Don to hoist a few tonight - you're more than welcome!

Every once-in-awhile Don & and I hook up for a few beers at a bar that is just around the corner from where we live.  Don has also put the invite out to Nick, another local fellow that is restoring a '70 Charger R/T.

Jimmy Heroes is a sports bar that is on the SE corner of Hwy. # 25 (Bronte Rd.) and Hwy. # 5 (Dundas St.) in Oakville.  We will be meeting there at 9:00 PM.

I realize it's short notice but that's how it goes when taking all the factors (work, Children, Wife) into consideration.  If not this time, perhaps the next time, whenever that may be.

Dodge Don & I have plans to meet again on Friday February 16th at the same place mentioned in the original post from back in November.  Last time, we were joined by another fellow from the '70 site, Nick70RT (I think that's his user name) and we had a decent time swapping restoration stories, tips and tricks.

If anyone is interested, we'll see you there around 9:00 PM.

It's not a very big place and doesn't get too busy so figuring out who we are won't be difficult.

I'll give this thread periodic bumps as we get closer to the date.

Let me add that you guys are the nicest/greatest people to party with in the world.  I always enjoyed going to Greenwood.  All I can say is we could take a lesson in hospitality from you friends.  Always a few cases at the bottom of the ladder when we got off the P-3.  Of course the fun ended when the 2 teams hit the ice(but we did some Navy training too, don't worry).  No, I don't play but my squadron would either host or travel up there every year for a game. They used to let me keep score and ref a little while I  drank the whole time.  It was easier keeping the score with my 3.2 beer though back here in Maine, let me tell you. :icon_smile_big: 

Sounds like fun :icon_smile_cool:

Figures....I put on my new jeans and was getting ready to head down for a night of beers and Charger B.S. and wifey calls me from Horseshoe the ski hill about an hour north of me. She took my truck and picked up the kids from school and thought she would bring them skiing since I was planning to be out for the night. (and also my idea of recreation involves having to put gas in something) Well they headed in for hot chocolate after a few runs and the wife realizes she didn't zipper her pocket and has lost her money. On further examination she find out not only her money is gone but she also lost the keys to my truck and her cell phone........sometimes I wonder how she has gotten this far in life.......anyway, I had to ditch the DC.com meet in favour of a rescue. I just got home a little while ago. Those keys are like $180 and the cell phone I just got her for Xmas so there goes another $350!

Sorry fellas....lets plan another next month.

Sorry Mike, I have finished my sentence at CIBC for now and they let me go home. Might be back up there in April or May but as for now no more. Would have like to joined you guys.........

I was speaking with Dodge Don this morning and we've both planned on meeting for a few on Friday April 27th at 9:00 PM.    :cheers:

We'll be at the same place as in the original post.   :thumbs:

I realize that it is still over a month away but by posting this now, there should be enough time to plan ahead for you folks interested in joining us.   :yesnod:

Don will be flying in from the left coast that night and as long as the agents at Canada Customs don't give him a hard time, he'll arrive just in time.

Hope you can make it.   :cheers:

I'll fly all the way from L.A. just to have a beer with Shakey  :yesnod:

If I do end up in CA that week, I'll plan on taking the same flight home.   :yesnod: 

I know you usually sit up front when you fly so this could work out good.  We'll have a few, compliments of Air Canada, and get an early start.   :cheers:  We can take the car service right to the bar from the airport and have them drop our luggage off.  We can then grab a cab to give us lift back to the 'hood.   :thumbs:

BTW Don - the trip to Munich is a no go and I won't be in CA that week either.  I'll probably spend the next few weeks in the office.

See you on the 27th.

That's only about a 40 minute drive for me...

I'll put it in my calendar. As long as I don't end up on the other side of the province during the day, I should be able to make it.

Ok Mike. My flight gets in (theoretically) at Pearson at 8pm and I'll head straight to the bar. I've got your cell if I get delayed but I plan on being there. Save me a seat.

Shakey; I was  really hoping to join you guys Friday because I'm in Toronto now for work , but looks like we'll finish tomorrow at noon so can't justify staying over. maybe next time.

Ok guys,
here's the deal. Mother-in-laws b-day today. Of course I forgot, so we are taking her to dinner around 6-ish, I'm hoping to swing by after I'm done to hook up with you guys. But if I'm a no-show, that's the reason why..
If anything, I'll be at spring fling on May 29..

I'm thinking of throwing a temp plate on the Charger and letting it get some daylight.

I emailed Rick back in Dec before I bought the car. Wasn't expecting it to be published though..
It was a shocker when I was flipping through the article at Chapters and saw it. I feel back for the other dude with the Coronet..He really got the shaft from customs..

Well set a date!.......btw, it doesn't have to be a Friday. Any night will work for me but Wednesdays. Thats the nights i get my kids. The great thing about being separated is there is no one there to say "NO" anymore so my evening sched is pretty flexible.  :icon_smile_big:
