I am departing tomorrow at o dark thirty. I enjoyed my time with everyone. Should be back by 11 with my other son.

Cool story here. Whilst working the registration tent, a gentleman approched wearing a Viet Nam Vet hat. We'll call him Tom. He wanted to know if he and his son could walk around. This was his first time here and could only make a day of it. Since the event wasn't crowded, I told him to feel free to drive around. He was pleased and departed towards the field.

Later on I saw 73M819 go by and hit the main road in Ferro's M151A2. (Ferro.....you know what I'm thinking). He scampered up the road and back a couple of times and returned. Later 73 came by and said that it was Tom that he had with him and that it made his rally to be able to light up the face of anothe Viet Nam vet. Ron served in Viet Nam too. I found Tom and spoke with him before he departed. The smile that man had was priceless. He did give me permission to post this story.

Thanks Tom, for your service and sacrifice to this great and at times, ungrateful nation and for making Ron's and my rallly.

HMMWV PMCSd, fueled, and just about loaded up. Will be wheels-up from Alpharetta shortly after lunch tomorrow. Now it's time to see how much stuff can go sideways between now and then!

I'm really jealous. The 50/50/90 rule got me again this year, 50/50 chance that I'll be off work for any given rally and approximately a 90% chance that I won't. Have fun and take lots and lots of pictures.

If memory serves, Gunnermac, welder1, and swiss have parts in the big cardboard box that has Gerhards stuff in it.

Most should be labeled. Text me if you have questions.

At least we were away on a meeting about military stuff as well, but even Olga agreed that being at the GA rally would have been better.

Wow, you guys didn't make it either, eh? Now I don't feel so bad. Maybe next year.
Yep, just too much going on here. The truck needs an air pack, I’ve been working a lot of hours and there was a big meeting that overlapped the Rally. I just couldn’t muster the energy to push hard enough to make it this year. Next year though, for sure.
