Got back from my day at the races, an overwhelming success with seeing friends and the costume was very well received (still have camera flashes in my eyes).  The neatest part was when it dawned on people that the camera mounted on my rifle was actually video recording... makes for some interesting reactions :P

I'm back home safe, waiting word from last part of convoy's safe arrival home before I rest.

Oddly enough although I am self declared permanently retired (yeah I heard that one before, but it's for sure this time) I was able to utilize my wits and concom contacts to help a friend in need and make sure things worked out well for her.  Phew :)

No more typing, me tired.  Have some photos and a metric buttload of video to edit - but that will be for later ;)
