2018 Veteran Parade, Quincy Illinois.

Post by Tim Powell »

Good Morning Crew.
Next Saturday is the Veteran Parade in downtown Quincy Illinois,
followed by a second parade at the Quincy Veteran's Home.
Hope some of you can attend.
As always our little Southeast Iowa group will attend with our vehicles.

Hey Bert & Crew.
Good Morning to you as well. We are also hoping for no break-downs.
Supposed to be a cold one here this weekend. Sadly the Couple coming
the farthest will be in a M-37 with no heater. I'm worried about them.
Hope everyone has a good parade and an Honorable Veteran Day.

Hey Gary!
That's the one thing in our truck not original. Put in a hot-water heater.
Gotta' have heat on my feet. :D

Good Luck on the manifold leak Gary!
Supposed to get 2" of snow here tomorrow.
Regardless, come hell or high water I'm going to Quincy Illinois Saturday.

Holy Cow It Got Cold!
Went out and shoveled the snow off the flatbed.
When I get it up to the shop I'll hit it with the leaf-blower and
finish cleaning off the deck.
Will be ready for tomorrow or bust.

BRRR! We got a dusting here too-not enough to fuss with, just a precursor to Winter.

Good Morning Crew!
We had an excellent day for the parade. It was cold but the sun came out and it was fantastic.
Didn't get too many good pictures, hard to "shoot" and drive.
