Car pool?

I'm leaving for the Gun show around 8am, and the Nisei Parade I'm leaving to go to Fernie's house around 9 - 9:30am to pick up Jean Francis.

Anyone on my way is welcome to a ride.

Sorry guys can't make it SUnday and tomorrow is iffy. I was just informed today after working my arse off that I've been working on my "Saturday", because I'm night crew, so our work week goes from Sunday to Thursday. Yeah it sounds like it'd work for events but one problem... I HAVE to be there. Its a lot of things I'd love to vent on but I mean what can I do.

I considered it an honor that the 442 Vets requested our presence and I'm upset I'm going to miss out on such an honor.

Ta heck with it. I'm going Sat. Be there around 9ish or a bit early with Greg and John.

Here is a slide show for the Nisei Parade

Great pictures Dave. Those vets are totally hardcore and vow to be in the parade up to their last breath! I had one vet in my jeep with only one arm. There was another who is on oxygen who said he would be there but I didn't see him this year. It's gotten to the point they need a step stool to get into the vehicles. Being around these guys I miss my dad. A few of them had been there all day manning the memorial and then in the parade.

Jerry Berry came roaring up with a convoy of four vehicles in the last hour to help transport the vets. Jerry, his wife and two others all came up just to help the vets out.

Pretty cool guys... wish I coulda been there.

EVER!


P.S. I don't get many moments to look cool... and will never touch the .50 again, I have to bask in the glory ... Though if I get that Security augment gig I'll probably get to use one for real off a Humvee...

You never know. We may be needing a .50 gunner for the RPS Roberts battle.
