I hear ya on the wind going away. We don’t have all the sand blowing around like y’all do but it’s still irritating when it goes on and on and on. It’s been blowing every day here for over a week though it dies down every night.

I was tickled pink to get to ride in the APC. The others rode in it last year when the guy who owns it took it up there before we reopened. I wasn’t there that day and was so disappointed. Yesterday made up for it though.
Boss Man took that shot just before we took off. We rode around the field in back of the museum and raced up and down the gravel parking lot on the other side of the building several times. It hadn’t been driven since last year and needed the ‘cobwebs’ blown out. :-)
Then came back up and went out into the parking lot in front and he parked it close to the road for a while.

It was a little while before my feet touched the ground again. LOL That ride was so much fun.

It looked like a blast! I wouldn’t have had to be asked twice to ride in it. Those moments don’t come around very often. With pigtails flying! :)

They never have to ask twice if I’d like to ride in one of the vehicles. LOL It doesn’t happen often but when it does, I’m THERE!

The pigtails were definitely flying several times during the ride. :-)

This Australian veteran thanks you for posting this.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Lest we Forget

I hope you get more chances to ride in it or any other cool vehicles that they bring in that can be driven.

I’m fading fast. I think I’ll finish this show and crash. 7:30 was waaaaaaay too early this morning. Peaches kept trying to talk me into going back to sleep. LOL! See ya tomorrow!

It was and we didn't get to spend much time over there because it was raining and there was some thunder which spooked Giz.

I was however able to get 2 headshots of him yesterday while we were there.

Today is forecast to be much nicer today however so I should be able to have more pics tomorrow morning here. 😀

There will be more opportunities, I’m sure. Several vehicles are operable. We had 8 or 9 in a Christmas parade last year and I rode in a 3/4-ton weapons carrier that day.
The one I really want to ride in is the Camp Forrest fire truck the museum bought and restored. Camp Forrest was a significant part of WWII history and it was local.
Maybe one day .....

Get some good sleep tonight and enjoy cooler temps tomorrow.

I’m surprised you went out there at all with the weather so crummy. At least y’all got out of the house for a little while.

It’s moved out of your area at last and is sloooooowly working its way over here. You two will be good to go for your daily romp. :-)

She is still learning her “Puppy Manners” but is so eager to pleae that I think we will get that all straightened out soon.

She’s SO affectionate! A real “Cuddle-Bug”. :-)

Howdy EGC! ((hugs)) Sorry your trip to the lake got cut short due to the rain, but hopefully things will work out better today. Gizmo sure looks like he's ready for more fun in this shot!
