So the wife will be gone tomorrow evening, Sat the 24th. Anyone interested in seeing the movie American Sniper? I've heard good things about this and I'd like to see. No place or time set, but I was thinking maybe up at North Hills. Maybe a beer somewhere after.

If you're interested, post up...

We saw it last night. Very powerful and moving story. You could have heard a pin drop in the theater at the end. I highly recommend it.

Noah,

Just caught the change in your sig. Sorry to hear about the deer! No personal injury, I hope...

Is there a replacement coming soon?

Seems like with deer damage you could probably buy the car back from insurance and turn it into a dedicated track car. I can't imagine anything structural was damaged, but guess the paint and body work was too much for insurance on an older car.

That car is only good for turning into a dishwasher at this point.

But at 9000 rpm, it would clean your dishes very quickly. Or turn them into sand :)

Aaaaannnnnd, now back to our regularly scheduled topic....
I'm interested Rodney, but scheduling this week could be tight. I'm pretty sure I have business dinners Tues & Wed, and Thurs is the VIR meeting and Friday I'm headed for snow tubing in Boon. How about next week? (Or we just play hookey from work for a few hours.) :lol:

Hey Charlie, thanks for un-hijacked my thread! Next week is doable. Let me know a time/day that works for you. Wed would be my best option right now....
