It's going to be fun no matter what.  I'm no "expert" on WA wheeling but I'm confident that I can keep everyone out of trouble.  Maybe by the end of the day Chris will "push me down the stairs" and become the "prima ballerina."

Its only Sunday bro.
Day trip. Maybe next time.



I work with reservists in the Navy and work 8-4 both Saturday and Sunday.  :(
Sucks cause Walker is only one hour away.  I even have a DD that, if my clutch weren't already slipping, I'd love to take to a "newbie" run.

I see you used footage from one and audio from another. Freaked me out at first until I figured out what was going on.
