Hoping for the best for your run.

Usually don't do to many of the runs. As a matter of fact the only ones that I have been on have been in Arizona (Toys for Tots and Wounded Warrior rides)

ON the Wounded Warrior ride, we had this fly by us. Scared the chit out of me because I didn't hear it until it was right beside us!

I did a Toys for Tots run years back but December in Colorado can be cold and they keep the ride short...point A to point B, not a poker run.

I have a pal from HS that is a Blackhawk pilot for the Colorado National Guard. I should reach out to him before he retires and see if I could get a ride.

Mornin, Mike and Marcus. My computer has taken this opportunity to download some updates so I have been watching the little wheel spin for about 30 minutes. I am easily amused.

Morning Mick.

That amuses me to when I download something or install something. If I watch the wheel spin and the bar go along, it goes faster.......Right?
