    MIssed opertunity ^&*$

    Missed the opportunity for public service to BT3 member

    So this morning I am sitting around updating phone software and all that stuff, and I get a notice of a voice mail. I call voice mail and it is a world famous BT3er who lives just north of me about 60 miles Turns out he had run out of gas just a few miles from my work. The message came in about 45 minutes before I get it.

    Quickly call him back and find out that he is on the road again thankfully. He calls back later and wants to meet for lunch, but I am swamped with an Obama visit, arrests for all kind of things, foisting off news reporters and all the regular stuff, so I can't make it.

    Sorry Don,
    Measure twice, cut once, screw it up, start over

          hate to admit this, but there's some sub-text here that i am unable to catch.

          who are we talking about...?

            It's got to be Pappy.

            Now what I want to know is why he had his mail truck all the way down in San Antonio!

                Those ex Jar-head mail men love those spicy taco drive-thru restaurants! Guessing he was using one of those high-tech Marine calculators to figure gas mile-age though.....

                  Jeff is a premier SA Texas Policeman! I have even seen his mug all the way over here in Japan.

                    Gas gauge malfunctioned on the Dodge. Computer hung up at 25 miles to gas up!

                    Be back your way on the 4th, Jeff. Election day so Obama won't be a problem. If we can get the bad guys to take a day off, we can meet at the Pig Stop after Mama gets out of the dentist.
