The big surplus dealers are real proud of theirs.
We had a feast at a Chinese place......I drank my yearly beer and am dizzy.
The truck we drove down has been delivered and we are chillin at FOB Holiday Inn about 2 miles from the Primary Objective.

If your Aunt Fredia had balls she'd be your Uncle Fred.
If I had a hight speed video camera I would.....Uncle Sam insisted on taking back the one I was issued.
If for some reason I get up that way on convoy day I'll try to at least get some still pics.

Every hobby needs it's young guns.
I've met a lot of good kids and young adults since getting addicted to Green Iron.
