REI Brentwood scratch & dent sale

“Saturday, August 16th @ 10:00 am.
Will I see you there?”

“If I can manage to sneak away from home...”

“I thought you would.”

“no”

“Hmmm,,,a road trip to REI on the 16th, then I can make then Memphis Hooter's trip, then get married.

Now that would be a logistical feat!”

“Dude!!!

Thanks for the info !!!”

“Bitpusher!!

Lets get someone to drive us up there while we sit in the backseat and drink beer.

It'll be a great trip !”

“Hmmm, great idea. Is Miss Opie available that day?”

“There is a Ruby Tuesday's next door.”

“Now that sounds like an IDEA!!!
Hope I ain't gotta work.
Thanks for the word Currahee!”

“I've cleared this date with my social secretary (wife) and I'm available. How about you, MDS?”

“crap, i'll be in Utah”

“:D”

“you guys are nuts! sorry i won't be in town that weekend!

bit i do owe ya one though!”

“I might show up to go to Ruby Tuesdays if yall are doing that”

“Oh, now that drinking enters the equation your in, huh?”

“Crap! Who can we get to drive?

I wonder if SuperTroll would be interested...

And if Ewker's more interested in drinking than gear, well, we better revoke his backpacker's license. You gotta show at least equal interest, ya know...”

“since I am not a member of REI and can't get in to browse I thought I would go ahead and reserve a table for us at Ruby Tuesdays. While you guys are shopping I will order you a beer and drink it :)
I have to get myself in shape for the Titans game tomorrow night.”

“Doh, thats right!!
I may mosey down to the coliseum myself.”

“hey guys....is there going to be a get-together at Ruby T's on Saturday, then?? I'm not sure when I can get to REI due to a 9 am appointment..... :-(”

“I dunno about Ruby's, but it sounds like fun. I'm definitely coming up for the sale.

poor yam, I hope you don't miss out on the sale...

Hey, yam maybe you can answer a question for me. My wife wants a pair of convertible pants, but she doesn't want me to buy her a pair without her there to try them on. Do you know if REI sizes run small or large, or just right? If they're just right, I can get her a pair in her size and be pretty much assured that they'll fit her.”

“I'll prolly get to the store as you and the other TTers are hauling out loads of deals...

I wish I could help out on that one for ya, bit. I buy the boys' sizes on the REI convertible pants.”

“OK thanks yam...anyone else? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?”

“hey I just remembered I get the sportsbras there and they are true to size. does that help at all?? (heehee)”

“lol, maybe, what size are we talking about there?”

“Bit, bit, bit....
How long have you been married?
Don't you know better than to try to buy clothes for your wife?
And YOU make snide posts about Engineers....... ;)”

“I know, know, it can only lead to woe!

I should just let her pick them out. If she didn't have to pick up our daughter from a sleepover Saturday morning, I'd bring her along.”

“The only successful clothing I was ever good at buying for my wife was the kind that only gets worn a few minutes before it comes off. You know, the really fun clothes. Hee Hee.
Just make DANG sure you buy a size Small!”

“Did I mention that Angie & I are flaking on the REI trip. It turns out that we have the same 3 days off this weekend so we are heading up to the Piney River section of the cumberland trail for 3 days & 2 nights of fishing, swimming, stargazing and to get the city out of our heads for a couple of days.
I was looking forward to the sale, but i just don't need anything now and the weather has been cooler than expected.
Y'all have fun.”

“You flakes! Have fun!”

“bit, I get the DDD size. LOL @ that!!

have a great time, currahee!!”

“Yow!”

“I think yam is trying to talk me out of my trip.”

“Bitpusher, REI's womens' convertable pants come in s, m and l. I wear a medium and normally wear a size 10 or a 12, regular clothes. In other words, I think they run a bit large.”

“OK, thanks Sass! She's been complaining that new pants she's been buying in size 10 fit the same as older pants that are size 12. If I find some mediums I might take a chance.”

“i've been noticing that for most stores, the sizes are getting larger. they'll do anything to get you to buy their clothes!”

“Blame the baby boomers. As they get older, they're getting fatter, but they still want to fit in a size 10!”

“I'd like to think that better quality stuff runs larger but it might just be a ploy to make us wanna buy more rei clothes. MH runs large too. =)”

“I'M GOING FOR SURE !!!”

“My wife says expensive clothes tend to run larger.”

“at J. Crew, i used to wear a 4. then it went to a 2, and once the size that fit was a 0. i had a good long laugh about that one! what do the people who actually wear a 0 wear...do they make negatives?? LMAO!!”

“Cool, MDS, where do you want to meet so we can carpool?”

“lyra, eat more cookies! ;)”

“I forgot where you live Bit.

Down South or up North?? :)”

“South...”

“ok..I'll email ya. :p”

“I wear a 32" waist, but since 34's feel so good, I buy 36's!”

“OK...”

“Don't forget!!!

Lunch at Ruby Tuesdays!!!”

“WOOOOHOOOOO!

Too bad we couldn't make it Hooter's!”
