Tarheel Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 As most of you know one of our longest running threads is the 3 Minutes To Miller Time thread started by jacksonbart. When that thread started to fizzle out a while back our friend Boxx took it on himself to do renovations to our virtual bar to rekindle interest. What I would like to do is to have a happy hour salute honoring our friend on Friday starting at 5:00 EST and ending when the last word has been spoken. You can toast him, post videos, post a favorite song in his honor, say goodbyes, post thoughts, or just find comfort in being here with us. Its been a rough week for many of us. Maybe this will be the catharsis we all need to move into a new year without Boxx to steer us. I hope to see you at the bar on Friday. Attire.....casual! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steven1963 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sounds like a plan. I'm still at work when it starts so save me a seat at the bar! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I will do my best to be there. So much for the 0 carb diet! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon string Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Very Cool! Boxx was a pillar of this community. He will be greatly missed and un replaceable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm hoping all threads and thread followers from where Boxx spent time will be here. Right This Minute, Fine Food and Wine, Coffee and Cables and others. Boxx made a lot of friends in his time here so I expect seating will be limited. I'll try to save a seat at the bar for you all. Earl is most generously picking up the tab. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Earl is most generously picking up the tab. Well, considering how much Earl got me for his Marantz 1250, he should.... Seriously though, I will be preparing one of my finer bottles of Cabernet for our tribute.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have a bottle of 10 year old Bulleit Bourbon I have been saving, this is the perfect time to open her up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 So much for the 0 carb diet Diet Coke and Bacardi 0 calories. 2.8 carbs. Guess it still has carbs but Atkins diet recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I will swing by as well, not much for alcohol but I will have a spiked coffee if that's allowed at the bar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallette Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Never spent much time here. But for Boxx, I'll drop by for a couple of beers, maybe a whisky and soda. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
