PGR was invited to the home of SGT David Leon and a PGR mission was on the books. He is to leave on the 25th for the sand box and he's been there many times. God Bless him and keep him and all others safe!


Don N is ride captain and he's been busy, did the GGNC ride in am and now this one, Great on Ya Don!

So we meet at a Chevy place.. I get there and it's closed... Old and and confused . sigh.. some of the riders honk their horn and wave at me... I can still see a bit! GBG So on down the road to where they were...



We had a great turn out! 11 bikes, police and fire escort!


Police in front and giving us instructions....


Hey, we have to have pics...!


One of Slick John, the picture taker...


And we have our tail gunner, the fire truck!


We drive real nice thru the neighborhood and are pretty quiet.. until.... we get close.. sirens, flashers, and some mufflers.. Dave knew we were coming!!! GBG


They had a playground in front of the home..


Some bikes... Goldie flying 'er flag...


Slick John taking a pic...


Lots of folks having a great time! Number 36 in blue is our hero! God Bless him!


Just shooting some shots..



FD and police talking...



Family and friends, great gathering!



Dave giving mom a head rub! or pat... or a hug.. GBG


I was trying to stay out of the way.. stuck my camera out and shot a big reverse... this is what I got...


PGR and Dave in a pic in front of the fire truck...


All the BSM's needed a pic also!


Here we are at the lunch table!! GBG They had a ton of food.. I was talking to Slick John.. and he looked at a big jug of juice.. (it's called Sangria...) He took some and asked me if I wanted some... I said nooooooo... He took one taste and shook his head! I told him before... that stuff was potent!!! He didn't believe me!! When I smelled it.. geez, I knew.. He shook his head and said (best I can remember...) !)$! #*%%)$*!_ that stuff is strong! GBG It packed one heckofa a punch..

Afterwards, I asked him... why didn't you think I wouldn't take a sip? I sniffed it... whooooooo! Good stuff! But I'd want to be home first!

Great ride! Thanks for the invite and may Dave ask us for a welcome home ride when he comes back! God Bless you my friend! Thank all that ride also!
