Road Trip Today...

[WAYNO]

Heliman and I drove to Pendleton today to have lunch with McKnight77 and Bear Paw Jack.

As always, we had great conversation and a great lunch.

And afterwards, we met in the parking lot for a little show and tell and photo-op.


Heliman, McKnight77, WAYNO, Bear Paw Jack...

Thank you my friends for a wonderful day. 8)

Thank you for sharing your time and some great items to check out. I always enjoy our time. You know when old guys sit around and talk about our medications, and such leading to checking out the new toys.

Howdy WAYNO. Would you put a name with each picture so we can identify each man? Recently had a great purchase and txt conversation with Bear Paw Jack and look forward to many more. Be nice to put a face with the name.

I get the impression that many of us on this forum are in the "senior citizen" category.

 

[Rumrunner]

Great picture and surely a great time.

 

[contender]

Excellent!
Gatherings by Forum members is always great.

And while many may be "seniors" by age,, most of us aren't seniors in our minds!

Howdy to you too.

It is a lot of fun. We're all Veterans, we all have extensive hunting experience, we're all very gun-savvy, and we're all learning to be senior citizens. So for the few hours we're together, the discussions may ramble, but there's not a moment we don't have something to talk about.

I have been so fortunate to have met so many folks from this forum.

 

[Heliman]

WAYNO and I are about 3 hours away from our meeting place. In that time we generally stop for breakfast, visit a gun-shop or two and several pauses for the cause. Otherwise we have pretty much endless conversation along the way.
Once we hit Pendleton and the casino there is another 2-3 hours of chit chat with BPJ and Mcknight77, coupled with lunch. Prior to heading home we have a period of show and tell in the parking lot of the casino.
The trip home is generally interrupted by more stops at gun-shops, refueling stop and more pauses for the cause.
Our day yesterday from the time I left home until our return is generally a minimum of 13 hours.
The time is worth it. It is always fun to hang out with like minded folks! Can’t wait for our next meeting!

I am glad you guys weren't wearing masks outdoors cause we would not recognize any of you.

Funny you'd say that. You don't have to get very far from Portland, and masks are not welcome. One gun shop we stopped in, in The Dalles, while I was getting out of my truck with a mask in hand, an old guy out front told us we better not wear those masks in there.

 

[Cholo]

Looks like another good time for all Enjoy every moment, for life has an expiration date...

I want to send a deep heartfelt THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES for your military service and sacrifices for our still great country!

....I recently discovered some of the people of my age are actually GEEZER/Curmudgeon/seniorAmericans!!!
