I'll be there. I haven't been to Fox Brothers since that big tree took out most of the dining area a few months ago. I think it's the best BBQ joint in Atlanta. |

Every time I've been to Fox Brothers an odd thing happens. Three geeks with nothing but space on their minds sit at my table. On a positive note one of the geeks did pay for my meal once. |

I'll call today to check on reservations -- if they don't do reservations, I'll just get there a little early to grab a couple tables. Looks like we have 6-8 coming.See y'all there! |

It was great to get together with everyone, and I found out they served brontosaurus (at least that was what the rib looked like it came from). |

My pleasure, as we talked about, Jackie and I took the opportunity, in that we only 10 minutes away, to visit the Apollo 6 CM. I will post pictures of that as soon as I can. |

Here are a couple of photos of Apollo 6 that we took after our lunch visit. The good news is they have the hatch covered again so it is no longer an invitation to use it as a basketball hoop. The display is unchanged but it is still cool that we have an example of a Block I flown CM here in Georgia.

Fred, I've been meaning to pop along and see Apollo 6 but the late opening time of the Center has usually put me off (I only get 24 hrs in Atlanta usually). However, seeing your photo has strengthened my resolve and I may make it an early New Year visit. |

It is well worth the visit. Does this mean we have to make it a point to see Apollo X next year? It is the only one we have not see at this point. |
