We had a quick impromptu get together this past weekend. Linda and I met Alvin, Jay, PaPa Joe and wife Mary, for lunch on Saturday. We were joined by our good friend Al and his girlfriend Liz.

We met up at Shealy's BBQ in Batesville- Leesburg SC. It's a popular Mom and Pop's Buffet. The food was great, the service was excellent. We sat around and yakking and eating for over 2 hours.

It wasn't all for fun and Games, we had a parts exchange too. I brought a Cylinder head for Alvin to take to a Machine Shop, and a spare tire rack for PaPa Joe.

We had agreat time, the friends and food made it worth the 450 mile round trip.. grin

Looks like a good time. I've eaten at Shealys before. The company I worked for was headquartered in Leesville.

Tut's I just noticed you reversed the 'burg' and 'ville' for the two towns. smile
