Rockford Illinois Area HAMB on the Rocks - Winter 2010

...you'll probly see a lot a daily drivers at this gig...

 

If I can get my brake figured out on my bike Ill be riding it!

 

bringing the daily as the car is still on a shelf in the garage with the parts underneath it.

If you find the place just put up the address so i can write it down and then set my Tom Tom and autopilot!

Looking forward to this big time


Just looked up the Tilted Kilt !!!! I'm so down for that

 

this is goin be great

 

Mark your calendars! Mark your calendars!

On January 23rd the first HAMB on the Rocks for 2010 is going to be at Granite City Food and Brewery in Rockford. I've never been there (mainly because they don't sell Wendy's Double Stacks) but I heard their burgers and sandwiches were great. Plus they are a micro-brewery so they serve adult beverages for those that would like to partake. The restaurant is at the Cherry Vale Mall so it's easy to find and is just a skip and a jump from Hopp's.

Daily drivers are more than welcome. Significant others are also welcome. This is more about getting out of the house, meeting some new friends, and catching up with old friends. The open house at Hopperstad's is an awesome bonus and I would personally like to thank him in advance for opening up his doors for us on a Saturday!

We will meet around Noon and plan to head to Hopperstad's around 1:30 or so. Thanks for all the interest, have safe travels, and I look forward to seeing everyone!

Here is a link to their site...

FWIW I tried to reserve a spot for us at the Tilted Kilt. That Saturday happens to be their grand opening and the manager lady said she would not reserve for any parties at all. Not sure if her kilt was improperly adjusted or what but she actually sounded like quite the Bee-ach. Oh well.

Get ready to have a good time and keep sounding off so I know who's coming! ~Jeff

 

1) I promise to wear a plaid mini skirt so you guys don't feel cheated.
2) Thanks to Jeff for putting together and Kerry for hosting.
3) I can bring name tags if you want.

 

I plan on coming. Hope to meet some new people as I'm rather new to this site myself. Sounds like fun.

 

1) Sweet!
2) I didn't really mean to, it just happened, and definitely thanks go out to Hopp.
3) We are good on name tags. Larry made us some, and Al and Julie brought some, and I bought some - still have most of them from last year.

Also forgot to mention that significant others are also welcome.. Ill add it to the other post too.

 

what about insignificant others? incase shana wants to bring me to the next one????

 

I'll be there...

 

Granite City sounds great, I've already got my menu picked out.
...

 

Keith48 and wife will be there!

 

Jeff I eat at Granite City all the time Its good food. Just not sure were they will put all of us and there will be alot of saturday shoppers. You did a great job in the past so I know you can make it happen were ever you chose.

 

So what you are saying is you are moving from landscaping to road work.

 

I rode it around the block once in the rain the day I got back with it. Then whamoooo I jerked it apart and done alot of work to it. I cant say I built it but I can say I rebuilt it and made it better!

 

Wingnutz and I are probably making the trek, sounds like a good time, but we may be late for lunch. I've got some louver work to drop off for Kerry anyways.......

 

Sounds like a plan, We'll see you next Sat.

Thanks Jeff

 

count me in for one and two if i find a significant other by then

 

I hope to be there........
not sure if anyone knows about this - but perhaps if you want to do something on Sunday morning - you can go check out some models!

CAR models that is...........

We are still coming up from Peoria and am looking forward to see what Kerry is cooking up in his shop.

 

I'm coming.. my name tag will say "Ruler".

 

could i get one with Poop Noodle on it?

 

I suppose that is better than "Tape Measure" or "Yard-stick"

 

Tiger Mark & I will be there.

 

Ok, its just Slickster and PoPo now, the other two have rescinded and have to work or watch kids. so I will see you guys Saturday.

 

Anyone coming up from the Decatur/Bloomington/Springfield IL area? I'm working on a HAMB relay to move some books and paper stuff from the Rockford area (Winnebago specifically) down to Plowboy in Cerro Gordo (Decatur). It has to be there by Monday so Saturday/Sunday would be perfect. Can any of you help me out? PM me if so, I've already hi-jacked your thread enough. Thanks!

 

That's alright. I was just reading this thread back and it's about 80% hijacked - thanks to people like Breeder, StickShift, etc.
