You can count me in boss. Have not heard from McChord on doing a display for them. I will miss it as I have displayed at every airshow there since 1984.
I was following RR's interest in this event and thought she was right on till she got to the part about respectable parties. She is probably not familiar with Lewis county. :)

As for Coug's thoughts on Re-enactors or Living history folks, what era's and what types of uniforms were you thinking? I could put the word out to see if any of them are interested in tagging along.

problem is that most of the guys I know that do this stuff have vehicles and it is way more fun to drive than to walk when you have a perfectly good MV that needs to be shown off. I have 5 runners right now and my favorite parade vehicle is the 1942 Huffman military standard bicycle. I can ride around the group and talk to people along the street and everyone identifies with a bicycle. And it isn't near as intimidating as a 5T.

We did a Veterans day parade in Olympia a few years ago. We had 4 WW2 jeeps and 8 ground troops in WW2 gear. That ended up being a very scary walk and we decided we would not do one in Oly again. We had two instances that I witnessed where we had people coming out of the crowd to discuss their point of view, which was most likely not ours.

Will put the word out for walkers.

turbo, word of advice. If she comes between you and the green stuff, time for a new girlfriend. And if she likes it and wants to join in, marry her before she gets away and enjoy the rest of your life. :)

It sounds like she might be up for it... I guess I better keep on working on the deuce... Anyone have a good line on a full set of injector lines. And all the little rubber bits that clamp them all together? Ive already bloen a line, I'm sure not having all the mounts was a factor in it breaking.

T-shirts update

Some of the chemicals arrived today. I tracked the 1st shipment of shirts (100) should be here tomorrow. I have received a bunch of PM's and Facebook request for shirts and working on a excel document so I don't lose track. Right now I can cover everything (about 1k) guys that want lots of hoodies (like four or more cough scott) I may have to get you to pay for those up front they add up fast at $15-17 each.

I will reply to all the PM's this weekend been a rough week at work.

Thanks,
Dale
