I imagine Peacocks have been at Dixieland since 1790.

| How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do! Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide, River and trees and cattle and all Over the countryside-- Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown-- Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down! |

Thanks to Jim for the idea and Sam whose on-line auction of the 80% lowers before the PATCON brought in $280!
Congratulations to Kevin Cuthbertson who made a 2,000 mile round-trip! Now that's dedication.
Evidently didn't take a picture of Michael Downing who donated much to this PATCON as he did to the others. Thanks, man.
See y'all at the Fall PATCON, the first weekend in October.
Thank you again Brock for hosting such a wonderful event. It warms my heart to travel as far as we did to form the bonds we have to all of our southern brothers. I was unaware of all the donations for the door prizes that Michael made possible, so I would like to personally thank him once again. Maybe in the fall he can just give me a couple things instead and I will not buy any door prize tickets. :)

Now, that's a thought!:)
Brock, I'm damn sorry I missed this one,but I just couldn't make it. I am however, looking forward to the fall PatCon!
ReplyDeleteWe're sorry also and will be waiting!

ReplyDeleteThank you Sir for the pictures and descriptions, as I had not seen Dr. Dan go down and receive aid, as Joe and I were chasing the other Yankee insurgent (Kevin) behind the barn. Joe did get him, me too, but Dave had told him he had to live a little longer, ha.

My correction, It was Kevin and I chasing the Yankee insurgent (the one from Michigan). Kevin did get him.
DeleteThanks Brock

DeleteI'm digging the sticker on Izzy's Jeep.
ReplyDeleteSam is one ugly dude.
Dixie shore is purty-full.
That is all.
Heh.:) I have the same sticker on my back window on the white car on the left. It's right below my "We're Screwed '08" sticker.:)
DeleteI guess all the shots I fired (before the patrol even knew where I was) didn't count. (think about it) The scenario called for 1 friendly and 1 sniper downed. So happens that I got off at least a half a dozen shots before the patrol even had a clue where I was. (that was a little humorous to observe) Guess those don't count? All in all it was fun. Wish I could have captured the look on Kevin's face when I told him I couldn't die yet,(according to Dave's scenario) PRICELESS. Thanks for all the comrade-re. Blessings, Rider
ReplyDeleteI got off at least a half a dozen shots before the patrol even had a clue where I was.
DeleteMust have had good body armor and you were well hidden considering the available foliage.:) Yes, a fun time by all, I do believe.
Awww... I am not that photogenic to begin with and I have been practicing the art of the Western NC Ninja. "You can't see me."
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to attend and contribute in any way I can. Thanks again Brock...
:) Thanks.
DeleteHowdy from KF,
