Family and friends for the barbecue grill and pool. Plenty of ice cold beer.

I don't like to travel far on this weekend so our Monday routine is to visit the Veterans Hearts Museum and then go visit General Sam's grave.

Last week 93-year-old retired Col. M B Etheredge passed away here in Huntsville. Good friend of mine and fishing buddies until he became disabled. In World War II he went ashore in north Africa and fought all the way through the Italian campaign then went into southern France.

He won three silver stars, two bronze stars and I'm not sure how many purple hearts. He also had three battlefield promotions. For many years he had been the most decorated World War II officer alive. I will also visit his grave on Monday.

Have a great weekend, Bear.  Hats-off to Col. Etheredge for his service.  Extremely thankful for him and all the others that wear the uniform to keep us safe.

I'll give you a call next week sometime - would be nice to catch up with you and talk a little football.

Leaving the show to head down to the conclusion of the Carry the Load relay .. . I'm on the Equest Hooves for Heroes team. . . . https://secure2.convio.net/ctl/site/Donation2;jsessionid=B17C99DBBA5FF83C223A00EE486E307E.app226b?idb=1096479296&df_id=1440&FR_ID=1070&1440.donation=form1&PROXY_ID=1070&PROXY_TYPE=21

Carry The Load is also doing a march out in Burnet. Just got invited an hour ago - as much fun as 20.4 on trails would be, I am already committed to some volunteer work.
