I understand completely. There is only one "Armed Forces Day" per year.
Block out your calendar for this side of the state next year - and invite them to come with you. :-)

They brought it down Friday afternoon. It started right up and then died before they could...
Yes, I have some and my intent is to get them posted as soon as I can. I will need to go through them and cross out license plates, make them look pretty, etc.
Right now I am working on the After Action Report so that I don't forget things for next year's Rally.
I had a school field trip to...
I will be there around 7:15 AM. Anytime you want to show up after then, will work for me.
Three vehicles came in today. Two of them are in the Armory garage (along with my two) and one is sitting in the parking lot.
Not sure how soon the others will start arriving.
See you in the morning.
Yep, roger on the propane .50. They are plumbed with propane gas and an igniter. Very realistic sounding without the expense of blanks, blank adapters, etc.
I really really hope that my biggest concern for this event is the "ice cream problem". :-)
There is NO WAY I am going to try and...
We got our official "Parade Permit" at last night's City Council meeting. I needed to get a permit for a "Parade", but I told them it was not a "Parade" but a "Cruise". The police chief wanted me to get a permit since the Department is providing escort and intersection control. Not a problem...
Bummer!
Honestly, I have been doing the same thing. I hooked my Mule to the MB and drove the Cruise Route with the wife following in the van. I did not know how that was going to work and I certainly did not want to find out during the Cruise. Unlike you - I did not have anything break...
Three weeks out!
This Cruise is driving me nuts! I spoke with the DOT and the street will NOT be under construction during the Rally. However, it took a whole week for a rather large retail center located on the East side of town to determine - that they could not determine - if we could use...
Yea!
More folks at the RALLY.
Just as soon as it stops raining, I am going to take my tape measure to the Armory and measure the parking lot.
I have drawn the lot on my CAD program and calculated the sizes of the expected vehicles. That will make it easier to park them. Luckily my CAD...
Yep.
It looks like the highway will be under construction for part of the cruise route. I am in the process of determining an alternate route. This highway is a major street right through the middle of town. While it is closed for construction, it will be a major pain to get from "here to...
I think there will be enough room. If not, we will have to do it like they do at the airport and have some guys just circle around the block until there is a place to land.
:)
I do know that one of the guys plans on stacking his vehicles. (Well, actually the plan is to leave the airborne...
Please don't worry about the cost of the hats! I have it covered in more ways than you may know.
My treat.
In fact I am working on the list of all those "other folks" that I want to get a hat - The Mayor, The Police Chief, The newspaper, The radio stations, The Chamber of Commerce...
That will be great!
I have already ordered more hats, as the list is getting longer and longer and the first box did not have enough in it.
Check your PMs and stay tuned for "email #3".
Please confirm the trailer, as soon as you can. Parking is a good thing to plan.
Is she driving a "chase...
Most of the inquires I got from the Navy concerned the best route - Mississippi River or Missouri River. From there they could not determine the best route up the Nishnabotna River. Of course, the Nishnabotna runs right through Atlantic, so it would have been easy from there. (The truth of...
OK, looks like the attendance will be pretty good for a first-time event.
We are still a couple of months out, but here is what the list looks like so far with more information pending.
WLA “Motorcycle” 1942 Scott
MB “Jeep” 1945 Steve & Marie
MB “Jeep” 1947 Brad
GPW “Jeep” Mike
GPW “Jeep”...
Thanks, if all goes well, next year I will just call it the BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG THING
or perhaps the
BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG THANG
I can just imagine how popular the hats will be with that name on them. Should I trademark that name - or is this thread good enough?
:-D
