We seem to do a pretty good job of snatching up the locals and getting them on our list. But id there are any Denver area lurkers, come on over. It's a Mimi's in Englewood someplace. I'll dig up the info and post it.

I *think* this is the Mimi's Cafe we're going to. I'll know for sure tomorrow. At 9:14 of course.

Mimi's Cafe

9155 Park Meadows Dr
Lone Tree, CO 80124 - 6712
(303) 799-1211

Mimi's Cafe JUST SOUTH (1 block) OF C-470 AND YOSEMITE EAST SIDE OF THE STREET on corner 2 Blocks North of that is 'The Great Indoors' store Address:Mimi's 9155 Park Meadows Dr Lone Tree,  CO 80124 - 6712 (303) 799-1211 You can exit south of County Line Road at Lincoln from I25 and head west, turn right/north at Yosemite up to Mimi's. Or you have to exit at the Park Meadows exit I-25 south (County Line Rd.)Go straight thru the light,and follow it as it curves around the mall..And it will put you at Yosemite.Then turn Left.. at Yosemite.... As you do not have a direct exit to Yosemite going west on c-470. Those of you coming from the west heading east on C-470 will have an exit at Yosemite..(Confused now)?

I'm re-pinning thsi topic until the boys find it later tonight and post some pics.

Great day! I'm only a little sunburnt and dehydrated from all the beer.

11 914's turned out and I forgot my camera. But there were plenty of pics taken.

Sorry Mike - it was a mass exodus. Looked like a few clouds were rolling in and Scott didn't have his top - I know he didn't want another "Damp Dave" story to tell !

Thanks for the pics, Lee, mine are still in the camera... I only have a few though.

Don't for get about my BBQ coming up

Nice pics Mountain Man! It was nice to see everbody and on such a nice day. Still haven't met a few of the new people. I guess that's what I get for being late...

Big ups to Kevin for helping us out when my impeller bolts worked loose and stranded us at Heritage Square!

That explains why we saw your car in the lot when we left! I trust you guys got it fixed and home yes?

Posted by: BMartin914 May 18 2005, 10:42 AM

You got a 30+ year old car home again. That's enough reason to celebrate. Loctite sounds like a plan unless grumpy ole Capn Krusty comes up with a better solution. Those bolts have lock washers? Or old wavies?

Put out an action plan and schedule on the Colorado-914 list and I'll swing by there. Maybe we can get Greg to show up too and we can drive his car and listen to the grinding to help him troubleshoot.
