Spent 6 hours today going over the truck. Making sure all was in order for Monday. Secured wires, new fuel filter, a little avgas in the tank for aroma, wash and paint touch up, painted my axe and shovel for the tool rack, I can't wait. I will post pics later. Everybody have a great Memorial Day and God Bless America & our Troops past and present.

Thanks David, the same goes to you & yours! I'm going truckless to the Virginia War Memorial tomorrow. :~(
Good Luck Tomorrow,

Have a great time David. Snap a few pics if you have time.

Congrats David! How did it go?

My Memorial Day consisted of just a short ride for coffee with the Flag waving from the front-early enough not to impede any traffic, but several waves and smiles from those few who were out and about....

No parade here. Just a nice "joint service" ceremony by the VFW and American Legion posts at our Veterans Memorial Park. I was in full Legion Dress uniform, it was hot and muggy, it was threatening to rain at any second, the VFW chaplain was a long-winded Baptist minister who went on and on and on with every 3rd word being "Lord," and the mayor's speech was even longer. Like the other uniformed veterans, I stood at parade rest throughout the ceremony except for the raising of the flag and playing of the national anthem, when we came to attention. Was I miserable? Yes, I was. Did I complain about conditions? No, I did not. Was I proud to participate? Of course I was. Will I volunteer to do it again? Dang betcha!!

This one's for Lifer.............

Well gang I just spent a half hour typing a post, it blew me out and I lost everything. In will try again tonight

I do the same thing sometimes, not sure where I learned the habit, my first computer class I guess?



Quite a bit of construction going on here, exciting ain't it?

Ok, Here's the link to my pics pages from the weekend:

The parade went well. Other than I had a trailer in front of me which prevented me getting pictures out of the front glass. All I could see was the trailer door. Afterwards there was an invocation at the cemetary with a flag raising. They then passed out awards and yours truly got "Most Patriotic" display. I was surprised.

With thunderstorms eminent, we stopped on the way home at Western Reserve National Cemetary to visit my freind Ed Smith who was a F51(P51) pilot in Korea. Then the rain started. Mind you I do not have my wipers or door glass in yet, nor my drain hose for the cowl vent, we got a little wet on the way home but a good day all in all We then went to the other cemetaries to visit my dad and my wifes father, both Army vets.

Hey David,
OHH man looks like you had a fun time indeed. The truck looks great on the front lawn, and you look great with your trophy!!!
Way to go !!

Thanks Rick. It was a great time fullfilling it's mission to honor our Vets and current Military.
