musclejunkie Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Sorry for the bummer basket history lesson. My great uncle died in a blast furnace @ Bethlehem Steel. My peeps are from Bethlehem "Peters". It sickens me whenever I visit Detroit, Pittsburg and Bethlehem. All GIANTS now reduced to shameful abandoned rusting hulks. Detroit at one time had 40 car manufacturers...no shi_! Greed has destroyed this country in favor of high priced stock portfolios at the expense of outsourcing decent paying middle class jobs and our poor unions once again being attacked which have been giving away the farm for 20 years now in concessions looking to be dismantled. What few public service jobs, jobs in industries we have left, let's all just work for nothing, you know we should just all volunteer, with no vacations, health benefits, weekends or pension plans. This is what the country seems to want for the middle class. Sorry, man I feel for ya Rich! Once again, humbly, I thank Adams for trying it's best to uphold Made in America!

You know what is really sad also, if Americans would just spend $3.50 a year on American made products that it would create 10,000 jobs. I have confidence that one day Americans will wake up and start to focus on buying American made products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris@Adams Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 As noted above, some of us may arrive with wives and leave single. And car-less. And wounded. And those will be the lucky ones. I think I might stay home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 You can't stay home Chris. If AJ's not coming............who's going to do all the grunt work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman2008 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Tell me about it. Where do you think I worked? The actual buildings where I worked for 35 years are now gone. Torn down for scrap metal. And to think that all this time, I thought you worked in a balcony with Bill on a puppet show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I don't think anyone has even thought about it yet. Someone will figure it out and start a list here soon. All you'll need to do is put your name on the list and be counted. Last year we had most of the back room to ourselves and stayed well past closing. By the way.......be prepared to tip well! These ladies treat us GOOD! Here's their menu to whet your appetite. http://www.carbonepasta.com/menu.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musclejunkie Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 That menu should entice everyone to come. I can't believe Junkman would even think of missing this gastro-opportunity. Looks like a killer restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPC1 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ray, sorry to hear you won't be able to attend!! Always look forward to saying hello. In reviewing the past few replies, it sounds like most of you will require some form of counsel that weekend!! Not good, but you all will have nice, clean rides.haha Hey, just a reminder to all, our clinic each year is advertised as a "Rain or Shine" event. No changes, we have plenty of room inside for everyone. Thanks, will be keeping everyone up to date as they come in off the wire. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
