Hello all, just found the forum, signed up and here I am.  Own a T5 C2 and am discovering the unique sounds from the guitar.  I am an advanced beginner and look forward to discussions on this board.  fray

How do!  What part of Texas?  I'm known to make cameo appearances at my Texas residences (San Antonio & Lorena).

Hi fray! Welcome to the forums from another new member! I'm way over here in El Paso.

[fray]

I work in Giddings and live in Commerce on the weekends with a wife and a rescue Border Collie/Lab, Charlie.  Have lived all over Texas, worked in San Eli down by El Paso last century and was reared in southern NM, Luna County.

So you ain't no Texan; you're a Texican like me!! 

[fray]

Yep, but as the saying goes, "I got here as soon as I could".  Wife and kids are all natives.  I just gave up.

Welcome to the group...There is so much good stuff to see and learn here. Glad to see Texans around here,i'm in San Angelo.

I know San Angelo well, daughter-in-law teaches at CHS and one grandson attends ASU and the other is a junior at CHS.  Really like the pizza place by ASU and the steak house east of town in Rowena.

[bukarew]

Wow, you really do know SA well.  One daughter works at ASU, the other one that's here works for Shannon Medical.

I just retired and moved here last may from Fort Worth  Came here because two of three offspring are here!  I haven't been to Lowake Steak House since they moved to Rowena!

A bit off the topic, but I'm curious how convenient these places are to the San Angelo Regional Airport (Mathis Field)?  I understand the airport cafe has good food, but I'm always looking for viable "$100 hamburger" alternatives.

If you have transportation, you can be across San Angelo in 15 minutes.  The steak place, sadly is about thirty minutes from town.

If you have transportation, try Zentner's Daughter...one of the best steak places in town.  There is not an abundance of choices near the airport.  They also have a great burger!

If you have a layover, holler. I'm available for dining and a tour!

Thanks, Frank!  I'll keep that in mind if I get a hankerin' for steak!  I won't have transportation if I get to San Angelo -- aside from the Piper Cherokee I arrive in...  City officials typically frown on it if you land on the street and taxi into the restaurant parking lot, though...   Typically the plan is to fly into an airport somewhere on a lazy Saturday or Sunday and grab a bite to eat near the airport (hence the term "$100 hamburger"); the challenge is finding places to eat that serve up grub worthy of the trip.
