There will be much toasting within the realm prescribed by Virginia Law, good health to all brothers and sisters, families. There will be the presentation of the highly coveted Sergeant-At-Arms Badge, we will have an official ceremony at Winchester. Gents, make certain your cameras have full battery charge as there will be much documentation of the 151 Recon Run II. another brother, Cosmo

We had a great lunch with one of their finest brews then off to an old gas station Phil saw on the way. Back to the DB for round 2 then we departed and made it home in time for dinner. We held and emergency proceeding and voting unanimously that we shall have an official ODSS meeting there twice a year!! What a blast!! Here are the pics! Nelson 151 Run

In a final analysis, it is not the beer you drink but who you are drinking the beer with. Had a great time (albeit too short) with two great brothers... Sweet and Phil. We behaved ourselves drinking wise and had a fine time to boot.
Let us give thanks to our fathers and rejoice in this fine day with our families.
just another brother,

Perfect food and beer. Next round is set for Mid October or early November. Even if you don't bring a vintage truck it is worth the trip.
