Various thoughts from the day…
Thanks to Kevin at Smallest Minority for the dinner list from last night!!!
Lots of overseas coverage compared to what I remember from last year! I met Danes, Aussies, and one German this morning covering for various media in their countries.
Dayum, my dogs are BARKING… That is a BIG damn floor!!! It’s at least 200 yards long by probably 50 yards deep!!!
This is the emblem for the year, and pretty appropriate (IMHO)…
As usual, MAGPUL has a nice vehicle featured, and apparently this one was actually at St. Louis last year but I missed it… Sigh…
One wag’s comment was normally you only see these with “Peace” stickers, but not THIS one…
JayG came up with a ‘version’ that would be appropriate- “Peace through FIREPOWER”!
And for Murph- One booth babe…
And that is Ammo to Go’s truck!
And for Joe P., the word on your Sig P229/.357 Sig is they’ll get to it… They know they’re backed up, and are working full shifts. When a run is done, they will ship according to order dates received at the factory.
And yes that really is a purple slide on this P290RS… FROM THE FACTORY!!!
Geez…
I am SO jealous you’re at the show, with a bunch of other great bloggers too! And you even got in AD’s picture!
WN- Thank you sir, and yes it’s FUN!!!
I’m so jealous! Wish I was there!
Keads- Indy next year!
i’m kicking myself for telling Chris i wanted to park it this year.
dammit.
Now that’s what I’m talking about. next shot, more chick, less truck, please!
I actually saw a reporter for Al Jazeera outside
Jim – You are an Officer & Gentlemen who keeps his word. Thanks for rattling the cage of the Sig Sauer folks. I shall continue to patiently wait. Keep having GREAT NAVY DAYS.
I had to leave a little after noon. the drive up from Corpus Christi plus several hours on my feet, my body couldn’t take it anymore. so Sprog #2 and I left to find our hotel. No sooner than I pulled out, my phone rang and Cool Change from Tranquility Lost called me so set it up to meet saturday around 11:30 – noonish. then I got lost trying to find 45 south. Got unlost in a few minutes and found my hotel, where Melissa and I ate then I crashed.
I hope we can hook up with everyone tomorrow. See ya on the floor. Oh, Saturday I and Evyl Robot should both be wearing our Black Kilts, so look for us.
Darn. I couldn’t make it over. Have a good time.
