I'm meeting Chuck in Novoto in the a.m. for a backroad journey to Petaluma.

IF everything goes right we will also have a t34 russian tank on a lowboy at the parade, the national guard is hauling for the experience ,wink, wink.

[John Neuenburg]

Wouldn't it be cool if Hans B. set up a German anti-tank gun with a blank charge to take out the Russian tank?

Michael, do participants have to check in with you or Jim Neider before Wednesday?

Michael, do participants have to check in with you or Jim Neider before Wednesday?

I'll answer my own question. No.

North Bay weather report is for no rain on parade day and 50% after dark. This is an improvement over the forecast this morning. The mild storm seems to be slowing

Change of plans John. Chuck and I are going in the car. Chucks jeep coughed up a freeze plug and my duty has become the driver of Matt's stretch jeep.

Hope you get the message on time.

DA

Hey Mac...

we all had a great day at out Veteran's Parade.....DADA and Chuck came to my house and they drove my Willys and trailer and I drove the Stretch - all went well and we all made it back home safe - the streets were packed and lots of MV's - pic's at a later time.

Hope you and your family had a great Veterans Day.

Mac, I couldn't keep all the jeepers straight either and I was there! Common as cat scat. Kept catching them in my grill.

Wait a minute, I don't have a grill. Never mind.

Anyway the M20 made it up and back OK. Went the freeway as usual. (I only say that to piss off Michael France and Tim Sutter who drove halftracks the "slow" way as usual.) Huge parade for a Wednesday. We must have had 30+ MVs. Over 100 entries and we were considered one entry. Even Hans Beerbaum brought his T-34 tank courtesy of an Army flatbed unit. Photos will no doubt show up on the North Bay club forum.

Matt, whats wrong with your Jeep and Trailer ?? You said it took DAVE DAVE and Chuck to drive it !!

[DavidA]

Sorry Mac,

Too technical for you or any other common Jeep driver so Chucky and I handled it.
