Anybody miss me?

 

What part of Germany to you go to?  I'm heading to Frankfurt in November.

 Unless there is a Germany here and it  less than a couple hundred miles from me,,,,,,I guess I ain't ever gonna go see Germany,,,,, 'sides,,,when I was in the war......chit,, never mind,,,,,,

 Hey John,,,now you know we cannot use the same excuse of not knowin how to post pics,,,,,unless you gots a "new" excuse somebody ain't usin,,,,

 If I can't go to Germany,,,,at least I can say,,I seen pictures,,,,,!!!OH,,,,we want to see pics of your partner that went with you,,,I bet SHE was a cutie,,,,

I'm pretty busy trying to catch up with two weeks of stuff I should have done before I left but in the next few days I'll try to write some more.  As for pictures, I still haven't gotten that figured out since the forum went to it's new format several years ago. 

Joe, sorry to disappoint you, but the partner I went with, or actually met over there, is my cousin and her husband.  The three of us managed to get along for two weeks which I consider a success.  They live in Ohio, I'm 1400 miles west so seeing them, and the couple who's wedding we attended was great fun.  I lived in Germany for 11 months back in the late 1960's under a government education program called the US Army, so it was interesting to see how things had changed (and stayed the same) over 50 years.  Not sure I ever want to take that long a plane ride again, close to 30 hr if you figure in the layovers and 8 hours difference in time from Germany to Colorado.  Can't imagine going to Asia in one leg, something like 23 hours in a plane, no way!

Dale, I was going to call you but didn't get around to it.  Was afraid your local shareholder would find out and come over and sell all my Allis's and stuff.
