| At random: Long considered a versatile and deadly instrument of war, the submarine has broadened her capabilities with the adoption of nuclear power. Today the submarine serves as a ballistic missile platform, early warning station, killer of surface and underwater vessels, scout, coastal raider troop transport, supply ship, mine layer, and seaplane tender. |

Master and Commander Posts: 2254 Location: Foothills of the Ozarks | Subject: The trip to the Pacific Northwest is On...NSR Got a clean bill of health today "no bad guys from stem to stern" so the trip is now set to go and pester the hell out of our host Mr. Gentry. We plan (me and a jarhead) to leave on July 5th 2010 and take about 5 days to get there. We're still real early in the planning stages but now that my doc has told me I'm healthy enough to do it we're gearing up and getting ready. If anybody sees Gentry putting his house up for sale and going into the witness protection program you'll know we're getting close. I'll have to learn how to do one of those blog things so I can post photos and other incriminating evidence like we did for Blue.  | ||

| Subject: RE: Are you planning to travel on I-90? I'm kicking the idea around of tagging along in my Chevy PU to pick up any pieces that fall off along the way and to carry spare parts for any rice burners that want to join the convoy. It's almost a year away and much can change between now and then. However, if Blue gets over here in 2010 maybe we could enlist him as a our cook and campfire sing-a-long director.  | |||

If Blue comes along I'll bring my bagpipes and he can sing all 787 verses of "Waltzing Matilda"; that will keep him busy when he's not cooking and the pipes are so loud we won't have to hear him bellowing it out. Hope you can make it Ralph. | ||

| Subject: RE: The trip to the Pacific Northwest is On...NSR Walt, I was thinking along the lines of a very large 5th wheel, 3 axle trailer. Large enough to contain a trauma center and a bike repair spot. Don't know whether to put the trauma center in the forward section or the rear. Probably there rear section would be best so we could roll those gurneys in and out when needed, and too, it would make it easier to unload when backing in to the hospital emergency room loading dock. Doc Gardner said there would be a couple of "richard smiths" on this ride, so, we'd like to make them feel at home don't cha know.  | |||

Better make those gurney's heavy duty in case Billy Bob joins the ride; he's trying to arrange his schedule to come along. | ||

Gil - 2009-07-28 7:00 PM ... tagging along in my Chevy PU to pick up any pieces that fall off along the way and to carry spare parts for any rice burners that want to join the convoy... As much as I appreciate the sound of a Harley in my former riding group with three to four HD's my 650 cc Kawasaki rice burner has the distinction of having to tie up a towing rope to my Bud's unstartable Harley. Poor guy -- he can't bring up the soundness of Harley's or poo poo rice burners in my prescence for the rest of his life! My riding buddy will be on a Suzuki Boulevard 850 cc bike; half the size of mine but a nice ride for him. If Billy Bob comes along he will be on a Yamaha 1100 cc bike. We'll see which bike holds up better; I'm betting they will all do just fine and our pinging will be on the merits of the USMC vs Submarines; since I did both I can take both sides of the argument. | ||
