February 2 @ KC - Info updated! 1/28/08

[Melon]

Here's the updated info for the meet.

Meet at Jason's around 3, Go-Karts at 4, and dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings around 6? Is 2 hours enough time at Go-Karts? Is there other things here to do such as pool, arcade, etc for those who may not want to do the Go-Karts. I chose the Go-Karts because it seemed to go over better than Laser Tag.

Ok - to make it easy - here's some addresses:

Addresses:

Saddlers Indoor Karting

Buffalow Wild Wings

[2TonCat]

:D I'm in :D

[Thunder95]

Maybe... I have to do a bunch of weding stuff with the lady that weekend. Maybe friday night OR saturday night I'd be clear.

-Joel

[Nettlesd]

Doesn't matter to me. Just tell me when and where.

[Melon]

Anyone else? Or is it going to be Ryan, Duane, and myself :p Maybe Joel and SWS...

-Melon

[351cat]

I'd love to be there, i'll have to see how it goes. R U planning on just a 1 day thing or a whole weekend? If i can get me some money together, i'll be there. I'd say there's about a 40/60 chance of me bein there.

[traveler]

Uhhhh I was just thinking about that date.... Isn't that SuperBowl weekend?

Who's up for a SuperBowl party? Snacks, chips, dip, beer, soda, yelling at bad plays, bad calls, etc.

[351cat]

Uhhhh I was just thinking about that date.... Isn't that SuperBowl weekend?

Who's up for a SuperBowl party? Snacks, chips, dip, beer, soda, yelling at bad plays, bad calls, etc.

now thats an idea, PARTY AT MIKES HOUSE!!!!!! ;)

[traveler]

If you're referring to the house in KC, I'd better run that by my folks first....

But if anyone else in KC is interested in hosting.... :D

[351cat]

i was just wanting to type in all caps and have a decent reason to do it, lol. But a SB party is a good idea, i havent drank beer and yelled at a tv in a long time. :)

[Melon]

Isn't the Super Bowl on Sunday, not Saturday?

And I figured it'd be a lunch or dinner thing like last year in February?

-Melon

[traveler]

Just throwing out other possibilities. They can be voted in, out, or vetoed. Makes no difference to me.

I like options. :D

[Melon]

Options are good.. but I'd like to get home at a decent time on Sunday since I'll haveta work on Monday :D So I'm up for Saturday afternoon or early Sunday.

-Melon

[traveler]

Makes sense to me. Saturday works. I can always watch the bowl with my Dad. :D

[LOLA]

I'll be there.

As for a place to eat I suggest Bandana's BBQ It's right off I-70 & Noland Road or Arthur Bryant's at the Ameristar Casino off I-435 & 210 Hwy.

Traveler, I know your dad would be happy:D

[sinhumane]

so.. party in parsons on the second? i'm game. :)

[traveler]

You could do that.... But I'll be in KC on the2nd.. :D IF the car is running.

[LOLA]

I'll be there & my car is not running:p I'm waiting for spring so I can do head gaskets.

[sinhumane]

ok.. so kc it is.. lol

we'll crash jasons basement :)

[Melon]

Yeah - KC.. I'm not driving to Parsons.. that's a bit much for me to try and make in an afternoon and I've already hassled my supervisor about time off in February.

KC guys - decide where, what, when.. I'm thinking I'll get into town around 3 or 4 unless we're going to do a lunch thing too? I don't care if we do sit at someone's house all day, or work on a car, or just what. I'm just getting out of town for the weekend.

-Melon

[sinhumane]

sounds like fun.. smokehouse maybes? so we can get chased out by the flashlight cops in the purple plymouth breeze.

[Melon]

Well your car can't smoke 'em very well and I'm not sure if I'll have the 94 :p Haveta wait and see what the weather does that weekend.

-Melon

[Thunder95]

OK, I might be able to sneak away on friday and/or saturday night for dinner or something. I'll come show off the newbie if I get the chance.

-Joel

[Melon]

It'll be Saturday afternoon when I get there.. so I won't be around for anything Friday night.

-Melon

[sinhumane]

MY car cant smoke em?


my LX can smoke em. lol.

[Melon]

If you did last Oct, it wasn't anything close to mine :p I thought SC's had low end torque :p

I will say - it's a PITA to do a brake stand, or whatever you wanna call it, in a 5spd. Unless you have bad tires and can turn 'em really easy and break 'em loose.

-Melon

Also - Michael - you've got a PM :D

[Thunder95]

OK, I think I am clear for saturday night.

-Joel

[2TonCat]

OK, I think I am clear for saturday night.

-Joel
Woot!

P.S. I can smoke em'

[thunderbird96]

there is a hooters by my house.YES we can crash the basement
will have beez and refreshments

[traveler]

Hooters sounds good to me. Don't know if the GT will be there or not however. Driving it back from Coffeyville yesterday it lost 3rd and OD. Its at the shop now. It ought to be done by the 2nd however.

[2TonCat]

Michael, have them replace the intermediate one-way-roller with a mechanical diode so this doesn't happen again.

[Melon]

Hooters OK with everyone? Doesn't matter to me - just need an address so I can look around for a couch to crash on.

-Melon

[traveler]

Michael, have them replace the intermediate one-way-roller with a mechanical diode so this doesn't happen again.

I'll mention it to them. They haven't diagnosed what caused it yet.

[2TonCat]

[Nettlesd]

Hooters sounds fine with me. Just tell me the time and where it is at.

[Thunder95]

Haha, mediocre girls, mediocre food. (Least in Indep)

Doubt the fiance will be coming with me now! :eek:

-Joel

[thunderbird96]

hooters is on 119th and strangline road.In the amc 30 parking lot
olathe,ks

[35thauto]

In the other post the kansas side was the target area, Hooters is ok however
it would be nice if it were Female friendly. I was hopeing for a local non-chain.

[Melon]

I believe Jason is referring to this one:
11977 S Strang Line Rd, Olathe, KS

And I agree with ya Joel - but other than the Smokehouse being mentioned and someone else saying something about doing something different - nothing else has been mentioned.

-Melon

[Thunder95]

In the other post the kansas side was the target area, Hooters is ok however
it would be nice if it were Female friendly. I was hopeing for a local non-chain.

The hooters in discussion was the one over on the KS side, I was just talking about my experiences at the indep one.

Anyone have any other ideas for food?

-Joel

[thunderbird96]

there are several others in that location
1.texas road house
2.ziao's italian
3.olive garden
4.ihop
5.rubeytuesdays
6.jason's deli by bass pro shop
7.there more just can't remember them all and are 5min from my house

[LOLA]

If the meet is held at Hooters count me out.

[Thunder95]

If the meet is held at Hooters count me out.

Yeah I'd rather skip as well.

-Joel

[351cat]

i thought the smokehouse was pretty damn good, but last time was my first time too, lol. Golly i hope i can make it up there...

[2TonCat]

Ok, well hooters looks to be a no-go lol.

[traveler]

There are several good places to eat in the vicinity of the Smokehouse. What is everyone interested in?

[2TonCat]

-$ > -$$$$$

:)

[Thunder95]

I thoughtz we were gonna throw a bone to the KS guys?

-Joel

[2TonCat]

Oh Crap.... I was going to goto Marc's this weekend .... Had no idea it was the 2nd...

EDIT: Jason, Reccomend us a BBQ place somewhere nearish to Marc's please. Nice safe parkinglots, and less than $10 a meal if possible.

[LOLA]

Where does Marc live? I can help with places as I'm in KC

[2TonCat]

He's in KCK-- 57th and 70hwy

[trav91sc]

THe 2nd is in two weeks.

[2TonCat]

Oh, Ok.... I got confused lol:rolleyes:

[LOLA]

How about Arthur Bryants at the Kansas Speedway? It might be a little more than $10 a meal but you won't go away hungry.

[2TonCat]

If its the one I'm thinking of, you'll leave with leftovers too... :cool:

[Thunder95]

If its the one I'm thinking of, you'll leave with leftovers too... :cool:

You leave with leftovers from the samples at costco! :p

-Joel

[LOLA]

That's the one.
It's actually at the Legand's across from the KS Speedway as to not confuse someone. Then if somone wanted to do go to Cabela's they could as well

[2TonCat]

You leave with leftovers from the samples at costco! :p

-Joel

WHO TOLD YOU I STEAL THOSE???

[Melon]

I don't care where we eat (for the most part) just pick a place :D

And someone get a hold of Marc - I'd like to get him out of the house :D

-Melon

[2TonCat]

I don't care where we eat (for the most part) just pick a place :D

And someone get a hold of Marc - I'd like to get him out of the house :D

-Melon

Jason and I are going to go visit him this weekend. We'll make sure he knows... Just pick a place ;)

[thunderbird96]

I spend more time at marcs than i do my house.

yea play me some rock band.

[sinhumane]

damn i wish i lived closer to kc... i'm gonna do my bestest to make it up on the second. :):D;)

[Melon]

I spend more time at marcs than i do my house.

yea play me some rock band.

Marc is a good guy.. why don't you go after him :D j/k

Come on Tyler - get over here on the 2nd. It might be the last time you can make it before you leave for basic.. or where ever it is your going :p

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

i need my plugs put in. hint hint tyler

[Thunder95]

Uhh, bro do you do anthing on your car? Maybe call another fix it meet.:rolleyes:

-Joel

[2TonCat]

Dude... Joel.... No offense to Jason at all... but I don't think he CAN get to them to change them.... They aren't on top like the v8s ;)

[SuperCharged91]

Thats not true i am pretty damn hefty my self and i changed my plugs

[2TonCat]

Maybee I'm wrong! Just doesn't look very easy to me, and I'm a twig like tyler.

[sinhumane]

matt has this neat little stubby headed swivel ratchet.. took us about 30 mins to change them... matt did the ones he could from the top, i did the rest from under.. didnt have to remove anything but the intake tube... :D



jason, lmk next time you're in salina, i'll swing up and we can do your plugs.

[35thauto]

I can say this, Tyler & I changed his in record time, with the car in the air & 2 lean limbed bodies its a breeze. The best part is installing top shelf plugs insures you won't need to do it again so soon.

See what happens above!!! I started this reply before Tyler I am sure but he finished 1st....my 15 WPM & his 70 WPM.....no contest!

[sinhumane]

sure its not ppm.. instead of wpm?


(posts per minute) lolz

[2TonCat]

So we're getting terribly off topic here guys. This rambling ~~~~ is for the midwest thread.

Where are we gonna eat? It doesn't matter to me - we can probably make going to BK fun.

All Ye' shall bow down beforith my feet, for I am KING of thine ball pit!

EDIT: Oh, and Burgerking is just fine with me.

[sinhumane]

lol. if theres a ball pit, bring a camera.. thats an order. :D

[trav91sc]

So no body wants to go do some race of the go karts? I think it would be a blast especially if there is 4 or 5 or more that go. Bragging rights.



Travis

[Melon]

I'm up for go-karts, but any idea what the cost is? Not all of us are made of money :D

-Melon

[sinhumane]

thats in lawrence, right?


i think mike has mentioned it a few times..

[351cat]

I'm up for go-karts, but any idea what the cost is? Not all of us are made of money :D

and some of us will spend most of what we got in petrol driving up there... ;) :p

http://www.sadlersindoorracing.com/track_info/pricing.html

Try the link its easier than typeing all the prices.


Travis

[sinhumane]

i dont remember it being so pricey.. 10 bucks for a 5 min run? :eek:

[LOLA]

thats in lawrence, right?


i think mike has mentioned it a few times..

I don't know about Lawrence but there is one in Olathe.

[traveler]

I've raced in the one in Olathe. VERY worth the price. VERY fast carts, and they have other activities to (that cost less). These are the only rental carts I've ever raced that REQUIRED the use of the brake. On the back stretch they can hit 40-45 MPH and that is only because you have to hit the brake at the end to make the hairpin!

Edit: and there are many good places to eat nearby the cart track as well.

[LOLA]

Since this is a week form this Saturday we need to figure out what we are doing & where.

[Melon]

Yeah - are we doing the go-karts? If so, where are they? what time? So us from out of town have an idea what time we need to leave so we can be there on time. What about dinner?

-Melon

[traveler]

I'd love to do all of the above, but I don't know if the tranny will be in by then. We got the shifting problem fixed only to discover that the 3rd gear clutch pack (and maybe OD) are toast from the car not shifting down the way it should have. I need to have the extra tranny installed.

[trav91sc]

Yeah - are we doing the go-karts? If so, where are they? what time? So us from out of town have an idea what time we need to leave so we can be there on time. What about dinner?

-Melon

Its a couple of blocks off I-35 & Santa Fe. Its easy to get to. Think Jason nows where it is.


Travis

[trav91sc]

I work until 2:00p.m. that day so lets do it after that.



Travis

[thunderbird96]

it's behind kmart in olathe

santfe AND MURLEN SIT'S ON MURLEN

[Melon]

So we're going then? What time?

How about dinner? What's in the area?

As long as i have addresses i can find anything (thanks google, lol) and i'm a lil more familiar w/ the KC area now. LMK guys i need an excuse to get outta here. :) olathe is 170 miles from me, so i should be able to make it on two tanks of gas roundtrip pretty easy. Anyway, i'm getting excited lol, those carts sound like a blast!

[351cat]

No contest, just thinkin outloud, justifying the trip, lol... I could go a different way and make it 205, lol, so if u wanna compete, we'll compete buddy. :D just kidding, im gonna try to use the least amount of gas possible. Im curious to see if the 3.08's and aluminum intake make a difference... i got 18MPG on my last trip with the 3.27's and the iron intake.

[35thauto]

LOL, I got it now, or should I say


"Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

Those are good #'s for your car & engine, don't forget your tire pressures they are lower due to the cold. That goes for everyone else too!!


Are you running a 195 T-stat too?

[351cat]

I'm actually running a 160* stat. Its pretty much always open, lol. I'll put a 180 in it one of these days. During the winter i can maintain a temp of about 165 to 170 w/ the stock rad and mark VIII fan. It climbs to 190-200 in the summer though... I've got a 3G alternator now, so hopefully i'll have a lil less electrical drain. I'll make sure i have 35 PSI all the way around b4 i leave. I'm shootin for 20 MPG, we'll see. :)

May I strongly suggest a 195 now! This will help you with MPG bigtime. THis weekend will be a good time, you will see 20 with a hotter one.

[351cat]

Eh, i'll do 180 max. Dont forget my motor is 36 years old and punched 40 over... I would rather it not get above 200, and with a 195 itd be around 200 all the time... just my preference. No doubt it would help the MPG though.

[thunderbird96]

hmmm long as there's food in the some ware

If I get busy and get the tranny to the shop this weekend, and they get busy and get it in before Friday, I can make it. Otherwise count me out. I'll keep everyone posted.

If I can make it, I'd much rather do the go-kart thing than Laser Tag. But thats just my opinion.

[sinhumane]

if we had more people, the gf wants to run to parsons to visit the pops... i'd lend a hand.

[thunderbird96]

we are not going to parsons duh!!

I'm coming if I get enough wedding crap done with the soon to be Mrs.

-Joel

[35thauto]

I am going to call around & see what they have, I Talked with Jason & Figured we need a sports bar/pub that has a good variety from food,drinks indoor activities & we can take a poll where to go & do after the bellies are toped off!

I will ask that anybody that has anything preventing them from attending & we can help make it happen post up.

[sinhumane]

sounds alright to me... i'll be coming -1... so, just me this time. :)

[Thunder95]

-Joel

[traveler]

I'd love to attend, need a tranny installed before that happens though.

[thunderbird96]

[Thunder95]

I was hoping for a dinner meet... I wont be available till 5 or so.

-Joel

[Nettlesd]

We all could met up at Bass Pro since it's on 35 and pretty easy to find for everyone. Once everyone is there, we can decide on what eating places are in the area and pick one.

No matter what is decided upon, update the first post to reflect the place and meeting time.

[thunderbird96]

well we can eat later so joel can come.
meeting at bass pro is good idea.

[35thauto]

I was hoping for a dinner meet... I wont be available till 5 or so.

-Joel

Don't worry about that, I will be ready for some Big food by then!

[Melon]

OK - to play catch up with the thread.

1 - Go Karts > Laser Tag

2 - I'm staying over night somewhere in KC area

3 - I'm not going to get up on my weekend off at the butt crack of dawn to be in KC by 10. How about no for me. I was planning to go get there around 2, but I can try for 1... Noon if your lucky.

Why not to some activity in the afternoon and then plan to meet up for dinner around 6 someplace. And those that are already in town, or get to town early - a BS session at Jason's?

-Melon

[LOLA]

Amen. I need my 12 hours of sleep ;)

[Melon]

12? Damn, I'm happy with 6-7. I can even semi-function on 4 hours, but that doesn't last much more than a day or two. You can almost watch me implode on myself because I'm so tired :D

You guys are wussies! Heh, I have insomnia... I can do 2 hours a night, and still go to work and do a decent job. (Granted my job isn't like Melons) Most nights though, I'd be lucky to get 6.

Last time I got 12 hours of sleep... was when I gave up Mt.Dew my senior year of college. Went through caffiene withdrawls and slept for 16 hours straight.

So are we eating at Barley's or Granite City? It doesn't matter to me - both are within a mile of each other.

Meet at Jason's around 3, Go-Karts at 4, and dinner around 6? Is 2 hours enough time at Go-Karts? Is there other things here to do such as pool, arcade, etc for those who may not want to do the Go-Karts. I chose the Go-Karts because it seemed to go over better than Laser Tag.

Ok - to make it easy - here's some addresses and distances:

Distance
Jasons to Go Karts - 3.2 miles

Go Karts to Barley's Overland Park - 3 miles
Go Karts to Barley's Shawnee - 11 miles

Go Karts to Granity City - 3.5 miles

Addresses:
Granite City
15085 119th St. Olathe, KS 66062

Barley's
11924 W. 119th Street
Overland Park, KS 66213

16649 Midland Drive
Shawnee, KS 66217

Jason's
504 E 126th St, Olathe, KS 66061

Now - everyone keep this on topic! If you have anything else to say that isn't related to February 2nd meet - PM each other, or take it over to the Midwest thread.

What does everyone think of the plan? There's just a week left until this. Yes, I will update the first post on the first page when things are settled upon.

-Melon

EDIT: Anyone that takes it off topic will be kick in the nuts by me, personally. Don't think I'm serious - just try it. Have a nice day :D

2nd EDIT: There's a Days Inn near the Go-Karts. 211 N Rawhide Dr, Olathe KS. 1 Queen is $45/night - 2 Double bed is $60.

[thunderbird96]

that sounds good andy
um there is also alot more resturant's close to me than that' less then 5min

[Melon]

Those were the 2 that were mentioned above. But we should have it nailed down, or else make sure everyone has everyone's phone number so we can get a hold of other people in case we get lost or have a change of plans.

Friday is the 1st, Saturday is the 2nd, Sunday is the 3rd, and so on :p

EDIT: I forgot to mention im in and this sounds like fun to me... i would say 2 hours would be enough time at the go carts. I like the idea of playing pool, and arcade and stuff too. :D

Just trying to catch it before it gets out of hand.

matt! you have a phonecall coming :)



by the way... what time are we planning on meeting saturday?



i think the first post needs to be edited with times, addresses, and maybe even costs.

[Melon]

Meet at Jason's around 3, Go-Karts at 4, and dinner around 6? Is 2 hours enough time at Go-Karts?

Can you not read Tyler? :p Unless something different is said, that's the plan.

Also - First post has been edited with info.

And this is on the second of FEB?

Chris

Correct Chris. Saturday, February 2nd... one week from today.

-Melon

[LOLA]

I hate to sound like a dumass but what is Barley's & Granite City? Are they restaurants? It's been years since I've been in Olathe.

[Melon]

Correct. The websites are a few pages back. Or you can probably just google them and find the sites faster :D

-Melon

[LOLA]

Well guys count me out. Granite city is too dam* yuppie for me and I don't do bar/grille places like Barley's.

I don't have a problem if someone wants a beer but I wasted too much of my early 20's in bars. I grew out of that & I just don't care for these establishments anymore.

How bout Buffalo Wild Wings? Me likes wings and its less than a block from the go karts, .2 miles according to google :) And its more of a grill environment than a bar environment (it is down here anyway... Maybe LOLA would attend? Just a thought guys.

[Melon]

I'm up for B-Dubbs too :)

-Melon

[351cat]

I'm up for B-Dubbs too :)

If certain other ppl would get online and give their input maybe we could get this settled, sheesh :rolleyes:

[eli66048]

Good choice....I likey dem wings!

[traveler]

I like wings! If I can make it (and there is still a chance), I'd do BWW. Anything to help a "newbie" feel at home. (I don't think we've met LOLA yet have we? I'm old and forget easily....:rolleyes:)

[thunderbird96]

how about ryans then. the buffet not ryan busse.

[351cat]

Ryans doesnt have the "adult beverage" option for us older folk. :)

[thunderbird96]

well i will be eating alone then.
hell im older than you are.

[351cat]

Oops, thought you were one of the younger ones, my bad. I take it you dont like BWW? Buffet's not a bad idea though.... dont have to worry about leaving hungry ;) Where is the Ryans in relation to everything else?

[seawalkersee]

Shewt...Im scheduled to work next weekend. I will see what I can do but if I can't get off, I will see if I can have a car package for you left with Joel. Im sure you know what will be in it right (Melon)?

Chris

[LOLA]

I like Buffalo Wild Wings. When this was originally being discussed I thought it was more of a late lunch (2:00-3:00). 6:00 is later than I really wanted to meet & eat. I have too much going on on weekends to make a whole day of it as well.

Ryan's is a hell no for me. I want good food. There is a Bar-B-Q place called Oklahoma Joe's www.oklahomajoesbbq.com 11950 Strangline Rd Olathe

They have a menu you can view on their web site. The prices are decent. I haven't eaten at the one in Olathe but I have eaten at their one on Mission Rd and it was good.

If I don't make this I will make the summer meet.

[351cat]

I guess we could decide where we're eating once we all get to jason's, as long as we make it to the go kart track, i'll be happy :D

[thunderbird96]

you guys truely are amazing. that's all im saying:confused:

That's a 10-4. Get it to Joel's and I'll pick it up from there. Anything I need to bring down in exchange?

-Melon

EDIT: And I say we get the place of eating nailed down so we know what's going on. Why is everyone so damn picky about their food? It's not like we're eating oriential where what your eating could be cow or it could be dog.... :eek:

You have a valid point. I dont really care where we eat. I just havent ate at v-dubs for a while, so i threw it out there. Should we start a poll thread?

[Melon]

God we are an indecisive group of people.. sunday beach....

How about the Smokehouse? No one seems to object to that :p It's just a drive from Olathe over to Independence.

-Melon

[trav91sc]

I dont care where I just need to know what time I probably wont get to kc until 4:00p.m. I plan on going to Marcs as soon as I get to kc.


Travis

[Nettlesd]

I think we should go to BWW where they probably won’t mind if our group gets a little loud. Do they do birthdays?

[seawalkersee]

Lets give the Smokehouse thing a break for the time being. There have been no less than 5 carjackings from that area in the last month, a shooting yesterday, and a stabbing the other day.

Ok - to make it easy - here's some addresses:
