Sounds like a great museum collection, looking forward to seeing more pics!
We had cold rainy weather yesterday but today was warmer and back to the short-sleeve shirts thankfully.
I went over and visited son and the pups today. 'Lil guy had to go to remedial obedience school this afternoon, LOL but he's getting better.
Heading out in the early AM for banking and shopping. Not much else.
Kittehs behavin'?
Howdy, LUV.
Perfect puppeh pic for your post. LOL!
Nemo certainly WAS a hero!
Did you and the rest of the FReeper gang have a grand weekend together?
I kind of thought he [or she?] fit the bill! LOL!
We had soooo much fun. I’m posting pictures now. You want to be pinged to the thread so you can see. Maybe one day you can join us!
So the lil wild man is back in school, is he? Maybe this time it'll sink in and he'll start behaving himself.
I managed to stay awake last night long enough to get the pix I took yesterday into the computer and am resizing them now. I took a bunch in Tupelo, then took a bunch at the museum while the guys offloaded the vehicles and crates last night.
SO MUCH STUFF, large and small. I didn't come close to really seeing everything. It's overwhelming and total insanity!
Here's a tiny sample of what I'm talking about.
The ONLY reason there's clear space on the floor is that the vehicles and other items that WERE there had already been brought up here a couple of weeks ago. That stuff is already set up on display at the museum. They'll be busy getting what we brought back yesterday ready for the cruise-in and open house that'll be held next Saturday.
You thought correctly, imho. :-)
Glad you had a good time. How could you not with that crowd? LOL! I’d LOVE to be able to get away at least once to go but with all these kittehs ......
I gather you’re posting pix at the Shoot thread? I bookmarked it so I could check back easily and will pull it up now. I imagine a lot of you are posting your pix tonight.
So far I’m the only one,l but there is a new thread for the actual shoot instead of the planning thread. I’ll ping you to it.
That yellow and black banner with the horse's head hanging from the ceiling is my old Vietnam unit, 1st Cavalry Division.
Truly an incredible amount of military paraphernalia there!
Keep the pics coming when you can.
I just saw your pix at the planning thread. Yes, please ping me to the other one. :-)
Good evening, Pro...glad you enjoyed Nemo’s story.
Good evening, radu...did you get to go to Tupelo?
COOL! That’s the cool thing about this collection. He has stuff from everywhere and everywhen. LOL! All branches of the military and there are items from the Civil War on up. There’s bound to be something in every pic that is memorable to someone. That’s my hope any way.
I’ve been thinking about how to do it and I decided Wed. night would be a good night to post a bunch of the pix since that’s “Remembering Our Troops” night. That’s what this collection is all about, and it’s what the museum up here is all about.
I still have to finish resizing pix, then get the ones I want to use into Fotki. I took a LOT! Then I can put together posts in Word and just copy-and-paste from there — bam, bam, bam — Wed. evening. I’ll have a bunch o’ pix then. :-)
I’ll tell ya, yesterday was a special experience. The effort and love he put into collecting all these items moved me. It’s breaking his heart to part with it but doing it this way, he knows it’s going somewhere it’ll be appreciated and well-taken care of. And that’s definitely the case with the museum.
Yes, I did get to go to Tupelo and OMG!!! I’m still pumped about it! I posted one pic at post #26 and as I just told PRO, I plan to post a bunch more Wed. night on the “Remembering Our Troops” thread. I’m still resizing them and deciding which will be used. So many to choose from!
It was a fun day but dang, it was a LONG one. We left at 6 a.m. and got home a little after 11 p.m. Hubby and I have done very little today and I imagine it was the same for the other guys who went down there. LOL! A lot of driving and a whole lotta work. There’s still so much that has to be brought up here yet and they’ll be making trips to Tupelo for a year or more.
It should be icy on the way to work, and may be snowing for the trip home. Then the forecast is 6 days of rain.
ARGGGGGGHHHHH!!
Not going to be a very pleasant week weather-wise for y’all, is it? :-(
And going to work won’t be any fun in the morning. The streets downtown looked slick already when I check the cams earlier this evening.
Just rain for us and chilly temps. The rain’s getting ready to move in any time now. Dusty and his crew have been in the fields since late afternoon, crushing the corn stalk stubs and planting either winter wheat or rye. Not sure which one they’re planting this year. They were still out there a few minutes ago when I stepped out to toss some trash, trying to get it finished before the rain arrives.
Hey Ma and Gang!
I saw this gif on Twitter and wanted to share it with you!
WOW! WOW! AND WOW!! That is so cool that it was everything and more than you expected.
And a year or more of transporting....my goodness.
A neat part is that the new home will be fairly close for visiting.
So glad you got to go.
Amen!!!
And if you’re on Twitter, you better look me up! LOL!
That is so cool! And so true!
