I would LOVE to be there but it just ain't happening. Too many miles, too much gas and my wallet is already pulling -26 inches of Mercury if ya get my drift.
Wow. Thanks guys for coming. We had 30 people there and it was a blast. AroundLSU, Bearit, JimmyDean (yeah, the real deal), Sylvest (my son ), anf a few others were there along with a strong showing from the BugOutWhale crew and about 5 people from L.O.C.A.L. (the real OC site). We ate, we laughed, we had fun. No sofas got shot, no weapons disassembled (because they serve alcohol for consumption on premise and Trey Yeun is NOT an extension of your Home) LOL.
However, AroundLSU did give McInfantry an impromptu photography class on his own camera. LOL
Really had a great time with great people. Thanks for seeing me off guys.
Crap! I just saw this thread. Damn. Brannon, I'm sorry I didn't make it. I would have enjoyed it immensely, and I know my wife would love to meet the folks I talk about so much.
Best wishes to you on your contract. I'm sure you'll make a bunch o' money, and I'm equally sure you'll be doing a good service to our guys and girls over there. 6 years ago I turned one down, because the money wasn't right, and I always wondered what it would have been like. Stay safe.
