Went to a Five Guys last week that's on the way of my 2hr school commute, got some fries and a drink. Drove past it again today for class this week, went in with my empty plastic cup from last week and got another free refill..It felt really awesome, I probably got a semi from the rush of drink theft.

Did this the following weds or thurs too..Tried again this week and got picked off by an employee even though I only did it 3 times over month ;D

I wanted to say "How much $$ does Five Guys make? How much do you make? And you really care about me refilling my drink?" or possibly "Im impressed. I might have tell your boss to promote you to assistant manager?"...I was in too good a mood to be an ass though, so instead I just said "hey, it says free refills doesnt it?" and about 10 seconds later just threw my cup away and walked out.

Im still amazed that this superworker was able to identify me with how infrequently I did this  ;D

[capt. scotty]

weather was absolutely amazing today in FL. I spent my President's Day off work fishing on the beach in Perdido Key, where I caught my first ever salt water fish and also a pretty sweet amount of tan.

Nice catch man!! Ive yet to saltwater fish myself, but hope to sometime too. In reality, I should hit up the streams more often around here to get better anyway. I hope/plan to fish much more this year as some great streams will be within 15minutes driving distance. How's FLA treatin you?

I'm the new brewer's assistant at the Bluegrass Brewing Company!

Nice!  I'm applying for a lab technician job at the New Glarus Brewing Company in New Glarus, Wisconsin!  Fingers crossed!  I'm hoping if I get the job they'll put me through brewing school...or at the very least the owner Dan needs to teach me everything he knows!

Nice to both of yinz..New Glarus is the one that brews Spotted Cow, right? Good stuff.

Buddy of mine started brewing recently. I definitely want to give it a shot at some point, but everything is way to chaotic for me now to think about doing anything with beer besides drinking it

Very niiice! As one who knows, its hard as hell to get out of the Burgh, so congrats on that!! Im sure NC will be the bees knees. Im considering moving there once I get out of this round of schooling.

Heard the single off his new one a few weeks ago. It was solid. His solo stuff is probably better than his work with that other band he was in

Rush - Working Man R30

Phenomenal Ruckus,
My fiancee and I were discussing last night about how awesome it is to rediscover RUSH every so often bc they live in their own musical stratosphere. It's weird too bc I own all of their albums. We need to recreate a RUSH thread.

  Drove a bit on the Blue Ridge Parkway the other day!  What a lovely semi-quaint town!  (smaller than the 'burgh by far, but larger than Woodstock) (of course, heh)  Can't wait for these farmers' markets to start kickin'! And the Herb Festival at the end of April.... and there was a blue heron in the backyard this morning! I like the line I saw Brooke use in an earlier thread..... I'm "over the moon" here...  :D  (later edit: Penny I see yer diggin that line too heheh! Good stuff!)

And this!!

FREE Toubab Krewe show on 4-16 in The 'Ville! Prolly won't be long before you visit The Biltmore as well...

I hope to make the show!! The free-ness sure helps!!

I pass the road for the Biltmore Estate pretty regularly in my explorations, guess I should go scope it out soon! First on my list is the Arboretum tho  :)

Hey Woody,
I'll be down to A-town sometime this spring or summer...we'll have to have a pint!  My company has a branch down there and I have a buddy who lives/works there that we need to visit.  BEst wishes in your new home!

Sweet deal!! Definitely let me know when you're stoppin' through, I was hoping there'd be more MMJ stalkers-I-mean-fans down here with me, but I haven't been here long enough to know yet! Would be great to be in MMJ fan company again!!

And Ky thanks too for the sweet well-wishin!! I hope to see ya at Mt. Jam if I make it!!!!  :o And hope to see Trish and Penny at Hang-Aht fest!! Ayeeee!!!  :o

Hey, Woodnymph, I have been to Asheville several times and it's a sweet town.  All of my visits were before I got psycho about mountain biking, but I hear that the Tsali trails are some of the best in the good ol' US of A.  I know you like to hike, so you're probably on top of it already.  I hope to make it to Tsali sometime soon.  Also, Chimney Rock and Lake Lure make for a good visit.

I haven't been there either, but I've got a feeling that you will catch many good shows at The Orange Peel...

Hey thanks for the info and links!! I actually haven't heard of the Tsali trails yet! My roommate and friends who live down here have been kidnapping me to take me on various tours around town.  So my roommate is away this whole week for work, and I'm finally settling into my own realm again and pressing forward on a job-finding mission!  8)

But in between the job search, I'm definitely planning to hike around once this weird rainy weather breaks (which should be tomorrow!) The Tsali area looks and sounds GORGEOUS! I really really love that all of the trails are single-track!! They each become their own adventure, with a set beginning and a set destination! All really great lengths too, imo.  The area seems pretty plush for mt. biking too for sure! Lake Lure area is just outstanding too, from my short visit there a few years ago... that was the area I unknowingly followed a trail on, during a music festival, and wound up a short distance away, at the top of a 70-75 ft. waterfall. DEFINITELY WANT TO GO BACK!!! Thanks for the good look!!!

The Orange Peel sounds like the place to be for music! I've been hearing about the place for-eeeeeverrrr, on jambase and through the grapevine of friends who've caught some great shows there! Can't wait to check it out!

And I've yet to check out Chimney Rock!! The link to it that you gave is awesome!

CAN'T WAIT TO EXPLORE EVERYTHING!! Thanks again for the info!!  :D

I'm guessing the days when MMJ would play The Orange Peel may have passed.  I knew they'd been there before and was surprised it was as "recent" as '07:

2007-03-08 The Orange Peel - Asheville, NC     
1. One Big Holiday
2. What A Wonderful Man
3. Dancefloors
4. Lowdown
5. Masterplan
6. Lay Low
7. Wordless Chorus
8. Phone Went West
9. Cobra
10. Golden
11. The Way That He Sings
12. Dondante
13. Off The Record
14. Run Thru
15. They Ran
----------
16. Nashville To Kentucky
17. Gideon
18. Steam Engine
19. Mahgeetah
20. Anytime


Looks like some great shows are coming, though.  I lived in NC for 11 years, and loved how Asheville reminded me of my native NH- mountains and some real winter weather.  Have fun!
