I will be there this Saturday, 1/20/20.

Well, this past Saturday, 12/21/19, we had a good turnout for breakfast: Blackhorse1, diesel42, jusme, nano, our non-forum Gideon friend, SigM4 and Baby Boy SigM4, SIA, and strogg. So we had 8 adults. It was a special day for Baby Boy SigM4 since it was his 1st birthday.

A good time was had by all. Next week is the "Way Out West" breakfast in Hudson Oaks (between Willow Park and Weatherford in Parker County). We hope to have a good crowd at Manny's Cafe next week as well.

Merry Christmas to all from the North Texas breakfast crowd!!

SIA

FYI, here's the recap on the North and East Texas December breakfasts:
1st Saturday = 12/7 = East Texas at Country Pride, Terrell. See "1st Saturday" thread.
2nd Saturday = 12/14 = Dallas side of DFW = Rudy's BBQ, Frisco.
3rd Saturday = 12/21 = FW side of DFW = Rudy's BBQ, Arlington. That's the thread in which this comment is being made.
4th Saturday = 12/28 = FW/Way out West = Manny's Cafe, Hudson Oaks, TX (near Willow Park and Weatherford). See the "Way out west" thread.

SIA

I will be there. I've got a bunch of dog articles for C-dub if he shows.

Looking forward to the usual attendees, as well as a new friend - Blackhorse1.

SIA

Tomorrow is one of the rare occasions where I will miss breakfast.

The City of Lake Dallas is having a rare cleanup day, and I've got multiple Silverado loads of brush, cleared from church, to dispose of.

SIA

It's likely that strogg and I will carpool and will be there Saturday.

SIA

I lost track of that other thread. See you at Manny's in the AM.

SIA

Yes, 800 A.M.

Grayling: We won't be in Arlington. We will be in Hudson Oaks. See addy above.

Here's a copy of the venue change reminder I posted on Thursday:

Manny's Cafe
4019 Fort Worth Hwy
Hudson Oaks, TX 76087

It's a small cafe located in the David's Stove Shop building on the north side of westbound I20 at Mikus Road. There is minimal signage for the cafe, so look for David's Stove Shop which is easy to spot. The cafe entrance faces the road near the west end of the building by the windmill displays. (It can also be reached by going through the main stove shop entrance when that opens at 9 AM.) The cafe opens at 7:00. Staff advised they would be glad to have us and open carry is not an issue with them. It's also a bit closer for the folks coming from the main DFW area.

From I20 west, take Exit 415. It is just past the first traffic light (Mikus Road) on the right.

From I20 east, take Exit 415 and make a left at the light at Mikus Road, go under the highway, and turn left onto the westbound service road. It's the building on the corner of Mikus Rd. and the I20 service road.

Forum friends: We have not been active on this thread as far as settling on the 7/20/19 venue, plus many competing ideas have been proposed.

The above text in blue was Excaliber's from the June 2019 discussions. Since we got a big turnout at Manny's, and the service was good, plus open carry was OK, this is where we should meet tomorrow. This is where I will be, possibly carpooling with strogg if he's free. No one else has stepped up to promote Arlington Rudy's BBQ this month. So let's all go to Manny's. strogg and I have the furthest miles to cover, so let's someone else show up too.

(Excaliber, jusme, crazy2medic, nano, SigM4, hackjob, diesel42, C-dub, blackhorse - Please support me on tomorrow's venue selection. Thank you.)

The 9 of us that attended this past Saturday: Excaliber, jusme, C-dub, hackjob, diesel42, SigM4, strogg, bitterclinger, and myself.

Since this has been our highest attendance in quite some time, shall we return to Arlington Rudy's in July, or give Manny's another shot?

SIA

I will be there. Count me in. C-dub: I have articles for you.

SIA

Terry: Sure, newbies are invited. You have to start somewhere with your gun knowledge and carry practices.
We'll give you the answers, most of which will be correct, some will be opinions. :-)

SIA

Count me in for the new place in Hudson Oaks on June 15.

Although they are cool with open carry, I'll try to restrain myself and will not bring an RPG. :-)

SIA

Thank you bitterclinger for pointing out my faux pas.

In the above notice of the 2 upcoming DFW breakfasts, they are both on Saturdays at 800 AM, but the correct dates are:
Frisco, 5/11/19.
Arlington, 5/18/19.

I guess I was previously consulting a metric calendar. :-)

SIA

Today's Weatherford breakfast crowd = 4 of us: Excaliber, Jusme, hackjob, and myself.

We missed the rest of you folks.

Reminders: The next breakfast for the Dallas side of DFW will be Saturday, May 10, 2019 at Rudy's BBQ, northbound Dallas Parkway, just north of Main St, in Frisco, Collin County. Open carry is fine.

The next breakfast for the Fort Worth side of DFW will be Saturday, May 17, 2019 at Rudy's BBQ, 451 I-20, in Arlington. Open carry is fine.
