    Congrats! a party school, we can all go and have a blast now!
    I'll have to leave my Bama gear at home but I'm in. I used to love when LSU would come to town when I was going to school in Tuscaloosa. Those folks know how to have a good time, and they can cook!

    Headed to Kerrville Texas tomorrow and back on Monday. Best buddy, another Vietnam Vet is turning 70, we are placing wreaths Sat at the Kerrville National Cemetery and catching up the rest of the time...Beer whiskey and good cigars! First flight in a long time after doing it for a living for so long, I hate flying today.

    Let them know this is the last year they're doing the ride to the wall. The charity will continue, but they announced the other day this will be the last year they do the ride. Coming from a milennial(I guess, 33). Thank y'all for your service. Even if its 50 years too late...Thank You.

    yeah they are not part of thunder but a separate group of 3000+ bikers coming from CA to the wall, they leave a day before or the same days as the parade of bikers. The "Run for the Wall" has their own wreath laying and celebrations. Claude rides with the Combat Vets Org and runs the Kerrville Chapter, not bad for a 70 year old riding from TX to CA then to DC and back to TX, last year was his 10th from now on he will meetup with them in TX. https://rftw.us/

    Take something to boost your immune system if you're flying, you'll probably be around a lot of snotty people this time of year!

    Hey Frank-good thing you're doing there, lots of the guys from that era are probably forgotten by their families by now or they live so far away they can't get by the cemetery. A shame you can't extend your trip a few days and help them with their hog problem out there! Take 10,000 IU's of vitamin D3 (it's cheap) every day and it will help your immune system a lot while flying.

    The company I work for banned gun related websites a few weeks ago, so I haven't been on here much lately. Then I accidentally clicked on a gun link this morning and the website popped up like it used to, so they must have either changed their policy or something. Either way, I'm happy to be able to access GCGF and other gun related websites at work again.

    It's feast or famine around here with the damn rain! One day it will stop and won't rain for 3 months and get hot and everything will dry up and die, at least that seams to be what always happens!
