Thank you for that. It sounds like Sunday would have been frustrating without the warning.

A wise choice, by the way.  
If you like beer, try their sampler—they give you little glasses of each kind of brew they make.

I usually have exactly one beer per year, and it’s at the Triumph 🙂

I might be able to peek in and wave, but my wife and I have a lunch date with my dad just down the road from you guys.

Aww and I just moved back to NJ. My car is a heap in my driveway right now, but otherwise I’d go.

If you are between Monmouth County and Princeton, I might be able to give you a ride. You can PM me if you want.

Like the love child of William Hung and Elaine Benes. It’s a hoot to behold.

It figures! I’m in Princeton every other day of the week. (In fact, I’m here right now. I can just see Triumph from my window) but Sunday wasn’t going to be one of them. I’d like to stop by if I can manage it. 12:45 you say?

PM sent although I don’t think it will do much good. I live in South Jersey.

I hope they relayed my message. Epic fail in navigating on my part. I got badly lost and once I found myself back in Jamesburg I surrendered and headed back home.

Sorry to have missed you!

I wish I could have found the exit, instead I found farms.

I was heading due west. Various roads to Rt 522. This takes me through Jamesburg. I was good til then. I then missed a turn, got turned around and ended up at Rt 130 instead or Rt 1. From Rt 130 I somehow took another wrong turn and end up back in Jamesburg and gave up. :smack:

So give some details to a homesick Jersey boy. How did it go? Who showed up. Does beer still taste good?

Other than Jim not being able to find his ass with both hands. I got that part.
