Sitting on the couch looking at the TMA forum, wondering why it's been 15 hrs. since the last post was made (except the webmaster).

Went to a 4th of July parade in Cayucos, CA.  It was refreshing to see a group of military vehicles in the parade.  Two of the Jeeps were armed, one with a .30 caliber machine gun and the other with a .50 cal machine gun.  Years ago I saw the same Jeep with the .30 cal actually firing off bursts of blanks.  While the rest of California was sweltering with the heat, it was pleasant mid 70's.  Not bad.
Afterwards, we went home for the traditional barbecued hamburgers.  I grilled up a large serving of onions and mushrooms with Merlot.  And yellow corn on the cob.  What a meal.
Considering I have little patience with crowds, we again decided to forego the fireworks displays.

Looking good, Kevin.
Hope they last as well and as long as mine have.  I think they were a 1978 or '79 project.
Amazingly enough, they still fit well after all this time.
I probably should pull them out of storage and saddle soap them or something.  The legs are getting pretty bad, the top front of the legs are about solid black.
