Bubb's Grub Texas Barbeque Grill, Catalina, AZ

 August 2007    

    The owners of Bubb’s Grub, Dan and Kathy, were really excited about SEAT coming to their restaurant for breakfast in August.  They wanted to be sure we all had a positive experience with good food and excellent service.  They did good!

     It was nice that the monsoon rains took a break just for us.  Riding up from the south the sky was clear and blue.  That also meant the sun was shining bright and hot!  And the humidity...must have been over 75%.  All that moisture, good stuff.  It won’t be long though until we’re back to the dry heat.

     The north side of Tucson has sure grown.  Houses, shops and malls all along Hwy 77.  Wasn’t too long ago you could “zip” along on your way to parts north.  Times they are a changing.

     Several new motorcycles and new owners were out in the parking lot showing off their new rides.  Craig got a great shot of new SEAT member Walt Mackin on his R1100RT.  Nice bike!

      New owners with their new bikes make for some of the best web shots.  Be sure to talk to Craig Littlefield our Web Master if you purchased a new or new-to-you bike.  Also, if you bring a guest be sure to let them know to check out SEATRider.org.  Who knows, they may be on the cover of “The View from the SEAT!”

     A rounding chorus of Happy Birthday was sung to Deborah Blomstrom, 39; and Don Schweiger, 61.  Happy Birthday and many more to ya!

     Thanks to Clif Lines for recommending Bubb’s Grub, and to Bill Schink for checking out their breakfast.  Thanks guys.

     Did you enjoy Bubb’s Grub?  Don’t forget to cast your vote at the SEAT Café Survey on the SEAT web site: SEATRider.org.  There’s a place to suggest a restaurant as well.  We are always looking for a new restaurant to ride to.

     Next month SEAT’s monthly gathering returns to lunch.  We’ll dine at Montgomery’s Grill and Saloon in Vail, just off I-10 on the east side of Tucson.  The restaurant is right across the street from the Vail US Post Office.
