** looking in the classifieds for a Harley yet ???? **

Shhhh... she doesn't need to know until she gets used to the jeep, Mark. A WWII Harley Military would fit the fleet nicely...

Drove the VFW Color Guard's Firing Squad around today (in the Pinz) to about a dozen cemeteries in town, eight rifles fired at each of them. Some graves back to the Revolutionary War, French & Indian War, and 1812.

Town parade tomorrow, another guy (Huey pilot, 155th, BMT) driving the Pinz for me with some old coot VFW guys in back, and former CT Governor Bill O'Neill (as Grand Marshal) and a local Iraq vet with me in the Jeep. Then we load 'em back in the Pinz and fire at two or three more cemeteries and at one little neighborhood that has it's own little memorial garden, where the whole neighborhood turns out and they have a couple of horn players who play "echo" Taps after the firing. Then firing and a parade in the next town over. I'll post pictures unless the parades are rained out.

Whew.
