Sounds good. Where do you want to meet? I was taking 77. I can jump off and meet you at any exit. Just name a place and time!! Anyone else want to hook up to ride down???
Dave I am hobbled with gout at this time, if it eases up enough to ride by thursday, and if I can sweet talk my boss out of that day of work you can pick me up at I-77 exit 73 (Stone Creek exit) on your way down. We can meet at the gas station that is about 1/10th mile off the exit. I'll confirm my ride status and meet up time wednesday.

OC I hope you understand that we do have Civilian's and Vets of other service's alike. I do not know if I had seen where a Marine was refering to himself as a Soldier. But it is perfectly understandable for those not in the know to do so. It is just a gratefull recognition to someone who is/has served, from those who have not. Coming from a Sailor, I have been called a Soldier in the past, and I am sure I will again. It doesn't bother me one bit, as long as used respectfuly. Dave |
