Buy it back while it's down, read in todays paper that oil will go back up and maybe up to $150 a barrel within the next 3 years.
I'll get you on the maybe list.

Just wanna give a little bump here. Seems that a certain owner of a certain yellow avy has met the guest of honor before. Just passing along an invite that said certain person is more than welcome at Hugz in March if the schedule permits.

You'd think I'd remember the name of the road...lol...I think it was 40? I'm not tired...

It was straight across from Nashville. Got to stop and see Katie on the way by Ft. Campbell - had breakfast with her and her hubby, but only one of the kids - the other grandma had the other two...dang it...

oHIobellboy · « **Reply #28 on:** March 08, 2009, 08:48:56 PM »

We're back home safe and sound. What a great time this weekend was. I'm sure MoAv will agree with me when I say that anyone that didn't go really missed out. I've got 163 pix to sort through,resize,label and all that good stuff so it may take a day or so before I can get them posted.

We also had a quick dinner GTG with some of the WV crew on the way home tonight and I've got some pix of that as well.

I hope the server is reaaaaallly big - I took over 500 pictures...lol We stopped east of Nashville tonight, and will be home sometime today...These goofy hotel internet speeds won't support downloading that many pics, so it will also be after I get home before I can post, ummm, well - a few anyway...

Paul and I had a wonderful time at this gtg...Here's some pics that I took

These are from CT's welcome home ceremony on Saturday evening:

Hugz explaining about the flag hanging on his house - (CT put the flag up there before he left)

CT taking the flag down:

CodeblueEMT & Vetman take the flag and fold it:

Hugz presenting CT with a beautiful flag case that Vetman made...

Close up of the case:

CT Being presented with a poster that we all signed for him

Ok, this is the thing that got me...very emotional. At CT's going away GTG, everyone recieved these "Support our Troops" bracelets. At the Welcome Home gtg, all the people wearing those bracelets presented them back to Sean... not a dry eye in the place....

Hey OBB, where did you get off of the turnpike? I travel that way everytime I go home. At Charleston you are only 2 hours from my mom and dad's front door. If you want some really beautiful scenery, if you ever go that way again and have time, hit old 60 highway and go over the mountain.

I77 runs Ohio to SC. I'm 4 miles off of it here in Canton. Close to the Football Hall of Fame. We never leave the turnpike as we run I77 the whole way into NC.

I see. I guess I have never drove that way before so we always go I64. I think they cross each other somewhere over there. I just can't remember where.
