Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Lunch in Fairbanks

Ate at the DW Grill the other day, 3 or 4th time I've eaten there. It was very, very good, even more impressive is to see how efficiently they run the place. If you're in FBKS and hungry for breakfast or lunch I strongly recommend it.

Course the company made it all that much better. If you can get VernAK to join you, then it's a real treat. Good food, good company = good life.


Always good to see you Vernesto, glad to see those lil Russian girls ain't worn you down to the nub just yet.

DW?

Yes you read right

Thanks for lunch Randy!

Always a pleasure to catch up on events in your family and Fairbanks.

That is a very efficient little diner........fun to watch em put out the grub.

South Cushman and 27th......out of the way place.

What were you carrying?

In that neighborhood your safe with Randy.

I was carrying a good attitude

Always happy to see Vernesto and break bread with him He's truly one of my fave people I've ever met and probably wouldn't have met him if not for the campfire

My lil town is a pretty safe place, worry about my oldest boy some as he's 23 and goes out some. Hope and trust the good lord keeps him safe

Sides Vern and I had soldiers to our right and two hens roughly our age to the left ( yes they were really old ). I don't see any terrorists or gang bangers getting past that security detail.

Vern knows where to set up camp

That looks like a rather nice place, and it has great (15 5-star) reviews where I looked. That end of town, as you suggested, Randy, is not without a certain pall. And one is probably more at risk from the public range down that way with a few of the doozies who might lob a few 'strays' that end up anywhere.

I have to say though, that I have had the same great business interactions with the businesses over in that corner which I've come to know throughout this decent town.

speakin of breakin bread with good folks, by my calcs Mark we're overdue to have a cuppa or a bite to eat. Would be good to catch up with you if you can spare the time.

Mondays and Tuesdays are about the only days I can. But if you're up for it would sure be good to see you again. If we were smart (and I'm pretty sure you are) we'd invite Thomas (kabuko 68) along.

If you've not met Thomas yet you're in for a treat. Truly a good guy and with you both having taught (he's still active) I'm sure you'd find some common ground besides hunting

Hey Randy... just got the old green van going again a few days ago after sitting in a snowdrift all winter. Nothing too major, but wasn't inclined to play with gas at -20, especially not lying on my back in the snow. But having her running again after driving the little Toy-beater all winter sure put a smile on my mug and made me think pleasant thoughts about my fellow man, at least the ones who have stepped up in the time of need. Ran into Thomas yesterday while he was keeping his wife company in their 'shop'. He took a shine to my son in one of the classes, so we always burn more syllables than is probably necessary when a fellow has as many irons in the fire as he does. But yeah, on the cuppa or whatever....great minds or not, thinking alike apparently.

Mark we need to make it happen and soon

While I can still afford a cup of ☕️

The Mrs looks like she's gettin ready to spend a lil real money 💰

Hey!....count me in!

I hope Mrs Randy is spending money for an upscale home in Tok.
It's time to get out of the rat race and enjoy the backwoods again.

Upscale home in Tok would be chicken feed compared to what she's looking at Vernesto


It's a RE deal here in fbks at a far larger magnitude than anything we've done before

Would/will be a life changing event if it goes through

Now whether it changes life for better or worse? Therein lies the rub my friend

I thought you said an upscale home in Tok would be a chicken coop. I had to read it twice. 😉

You read it right the first time Aces. an upscale chicken coop may be all I can afford a week or so from now.......bwaaaakkk

Are you guys getting nicer digs or growing the business?

If nicer digs, I figure if you're going to invest I'd rather have nicer digs than bigger numbers on paper, within reason.

Nope growin biz

You'd laugh if you could see where we live. Same house I bought when we were prego with my now 27 yr old daughter

And I'm driving a 99 taco

We've put our money into our businesses

Obama says we didn't build em. We've had some good help along the way, and grateful for all the client support over the years

But the crowd always seemed mighty thinned out at the end of those 12-16 hour days

Almost felt like we were building it

Good thing ol' uncle Barry had your back man.

I hear Barry promised to return all the taxes paid by and on the businesses the fellers "aren't building" and aren't "profiting" from.

But he probably for damn certain lied.

Good luck to you and your bride Randy. Living modestly while investing in growth in small business is what makes this country great. I'm in the same boat, drive a 99 Silverado and extra money will build and grow the business. May you both have all the success you desire (and none of the inherent heartaches). 👍

Aces, if you don't mind me asking, what business are you in and what part of the state is it located?

really appreciate those sentiments and I too in turn wish all my campfire compadres success and happiness in their endeavors.

It truly is a wonderful life we've been given to get to try and steer our own ship through the waters. Sometimes folks crash upon the rocks, some find a comfortable lil lee inlet and some sail happily off into the sunset. But we get to steer and it's a helluva privilege. Now I gotta watch out for those dang rocks!

That wuz pure fuggin poetry, pard!

You think that was poetry?........didja ever see him schmoooz a waitress?

Why yes. Yes I have.

All that honey, sweetie, baby, sugar stuff all the while waving his big.....wallet in her face!

Huh, I guess we aren't the only ones to see that.

When you're born ugly, dumb and untalented Schmooze is all that's left I just try and work with what the good lord gave me

But ''tis evident he was feelin a mite miserly on the day he made me

If you hadn't been meant to be, just as you are, the prize wouldn't have gone to the fastest swimmer.

It wasn't an insult, I enjoy watching a natural talent working in his element. ;^)
