Inspired by some excellent advice i've gotten already, anyone in East Tennessee want to learn me about the challenge over adult beverages? Or do you need help with your project? I like to consider myself a serviceable wrench

I'm in Knoxville but I don't have a project. I've also never done the Challenge. Hope this helps.

Hey, I'm out of Knoxville, too. I'd be happy to help with advice, any way that I can.

I'm in Oak Ridge, and limited on challenge knowledge, but I do like beer.

Hey, I'm in Kingston (technically). Do you work at the lab?

In response to Turbo_rev        -Nope. I work for Parks & Rec in Oak Ridge.

Are you at the labs?

Looks like a fair sized get together is shaping up. I didn't know there were so many GRMers in the immediate area.

Fellas, i love this! Awesome to know that there are some fellow gearheads around here.

How many of you would be interested in getting together Friday afternoon (the 26th)?

Contact Jeff Block/Speedycop as well. He HAS challenge experience and is a pretty nice dude.

I'm not that knowledgeable about beer, but I did notice a lot of "red" beers when I was out in Knoxville that I haven't seen in Florida. They were tasty. smiley

Awesome idea. I'm tied up Friday afternoon, 4-6p, in downtown Knoxville. I probably could duck out early, though, and happy to swing by.

Later is probably a better idea anyways, let folks get done with work and stuff.

How about we convene at Schulz Brau brewery, say 6:30PM?

I'll be busy Friday evening 6:30 on. But I can plan for anything with enough lead time.

Maybe we should shoot for another time to get more people involved. I like the venue, though.

Agreed. 4 days notice was probably a little aggressive anyways. We'll find a time that works!
