*****, 911SC I didn't do enough homework, obviously. You're on the contact list for the next trip!

Time to revive this old thread.

Jordi, Tabs, Fintstone and I have been trying to get a Vegas trip going again. Now that Rick Lee is going to be in the areas we need to get some others going. Was with Vinman last night and he mentioned that he was sorry he missed the last Vegas get together.

Let us know when you guys are going to Vegas again!!!

I'll be in Vegas Thurs., Oct. 18 through Sunday, the 20th. But I have a lot going on there, since I'm getting married then.

BTW, my bachelor party is this coming weekend and I've been told to arrive in Pittsburgh with a passport. I think we're headed to see Rush in Toronto Sat. night. I was also told to take Monday off. This is gonna be good. I know nothing else.

Tabs, now that I see you are a man of the leaf as well as your other interests let me propose your promotion to "The Amazing Grand High Exalted Mullah Tabdulla the Rug Merchant and Prophet."

October sounds great. That way we could ensure a memorable wedding for Rick.

BTW, I get there Thurs. late at night.

Rick. Did you happen to catch the title of this thread? Coincidence, you think?

Do not think that Rick is shooting blanks, so she is the one who should be worried!!!

Rick,

When are you coming to Phoenix next? Am heading home this week...

Joe

I am gonna try to get my company to send me out there around mid-November. Can't do it before then. Hopefully, I'll be moved there by end of Jan.

Rick,

You might want to start a new separate thread regarding your wedding and a new Pelican meet in Vegas in October.

Let me know if I can help with looking for housing and such. Do you know what area your office will be in? At least can give you some ideas of areas that you do not want to look in for housing. Its still a real buyers market (assume you will be renting or leasing at first) but there are some areas you do not want to live in.

Joe

I don't know how much time I'll have for anything Pelican related in Vegas. I can probably sneak out for a drink, but most of my time there is already spoken for with family and wedding stuff.

In PHX I'll be working from home, so I can move anywhere. But my lady needs to find a job and I don't want her to have a bad commute.

I have a list of "things to do's before I die".

One is to have a beer with tabs (a cheap beer of course, unless he's buying. Then I'll have two cheap beers).

Hooking up w/ Tabs in Vegas is definitely on my "things to do" list.

I'll be in Vegas November 16, 17, 18. Would be great to meet up with anyone willing to be seen with me in public.

Ridk Lee... road trip to Pahrump..meet up with some of Heidis girls?

One last road trip for Rick? A PPOT road trip to see some of Heidi's finest? :)

I could fly him to Tijuana but bet Heidi's would be cheaper...

Gawd, wouldn't it be funny if I went to Heidi's or the Bunny Ranch and ran into some of my family members there on a similar trip?

Who had a camera in hand? Yes, it would be funny, but would depend on if you met going in or coming out!

The "grease gun" is cool, but their popularity lately has driven the price to almost $1000 (in semi) and thats a lot of money for a stamped gun. I do like tha caliber though ;) .

Pete

When I was at the 101st ABN back in the late 80's, we had the .45 grease gun on our "books" for $20. My assumption was that the government used the original purchase price for the weapon (back during WWII or sometime immediately after) as the replacement cost. Never got to fire it, but I had plenty of fun on the range with the M-2 (.50 caliber machine gun) and the M-60.

Good luck on your marriage........I've been extremely luck because I have 20 years from my 1st (and last) time at bat.

BTW....Can’t resist being an *********, but do you want an Appalachian State T-shirt to replace your old tired/worn-out Michigan shirt?

Cheers, fellow Pelicans.

Still more fun was had preparing to put certain of our brethren first against the wall when the Revolution comes:

That's a Grease gun (full auto). There were also fully automatic Uzis, HK MP5s, Stens, Thompsons, M16A2s and a M249 (FN Minimi or "SAW") involved. The SAW I fired is one of only 9 in civilian hands in all the world. I've got a movie of me firing the SAW (happiness is a belt-fed weapon!!!), which I'd link if I could find a place to host it (or post pix if I was sophisticated enough to do captures to post). The SAW would look great on the hood of the 930 for those left-lane 55 mph jacka$$es.

FYI, they make you hang the silhouette targets upside-down not because they want you to get used to shooting at Kiwis (*coughCamBcough*) or other down-under targets of opportunity, but so when gun "climbs" during fire, you don't take out the target transport cabling or put holes in the ceiling. Like I'm some kind of rookie...

Here's my friend Tami and me at the Bellagio during the watershow (Tami and I were introduced by our Wichita P-head colleague kepperly during my recent visit to KS ... and by the sheerist of coincidence Tami happened to be in Vegas during my visit. Thank you, Keith ...):

Oh, what you can't see in that photo...

And Tabs' and my new friend Shannon (the barwench at the venue of our conspiracy and a cub member of the LV Chamber of Commerce, evidently):
