Charlotte GTG 12/27

Wayne (aka Thatguy) will be in the area visiting in laws and we're planning a GTG in Charlotte on the 27th. We'll meet in the Southpark area hitting the AP dealer, and two Rolex dealers. All are within a mile of each other. Lunch is up in the air. Many options to pick from.

It will be late morning/lunch/afternoon deal. More than likely, I'll need to head back towards Spartanburg later in the afternoon. I'm not sure how long Wayne is allowed to stay out. He'll have to answer that one.

Wayne is buying one of those carbon fiber AP's. Pretty sure I heard his wife give the ok. At least that's what I'm claiming.

She actually did give me the ok last night as long as I use your CC. For some reason she doesn't think I need another watch......

I did but then she explained the 'wife is able to make your life miserable' rule. Apparently there is a monetary cost and a true cost involved.....

Yep, I think that math involves everything you own divided by 2. That won’t stop me from enabling, though.

Yeah, if I ever get married, I hope she is also 6’1” so it will be easier to buy more bicycles and watches.

We should think about a Columbia GTG. That’s in between upstate SC, Charlotte, and Charleston.

Not a bad idea my friend. I've got a ton of family down there so wouldn't be hard sell for me!

Oh, I'm not laughing at that part. I know how crazy the tech is in some bikes these days. I was laughing at the thought of Stephanie wanting to share a bike with me lololol.

Understood. They came up for the Carolina Watch Club holiday party this year and we've talked about doing some joint events together.

I think Jeff is going to try and make it. I'll text him again and see. He just bought some land and about to start building a house, so not sure if he will be able to get away.

He can sure find enough time to buy watches, though. He just got two new ones.....that he will probably flip within a month or two.
