We had a great dinner with the Rat, his boss Lynn, and SWWOW. I didn't know that Eyetallion food could taste so good! Been awhile since I've had anything other than Texican food like chicken fried steak, ribs, brisket, or hamburgers. We do have a problem though. As I ate that fancy stuff I overheard SWWOW tell my wife that she is ALREADY the Company Sweetheart. And that her Daddy gave her that exalted position because he is now the Commander of the TRA and he could do any promoting he wanted to do. She also let on that he might bust Harry and Tex a rank or two. She said he has busted em before so why not do it again? We may have to come up with written field regulation manuals for all of this. I guess the first one would have to be TRAR-000001 (Texas Republican Army Regulation-000001) No less than a General Officer may promote or demote personel to any pay grade and/or position based on anything other than that said personel first being required to sit before and pass/fail with more/less "goes" than "no-goes" all questions asked by the sitting promotion/demotion board made of personel being Non Commissioned Officers, or former Non Commissioned Officers (who may have unduely lost their rank because of matters beyond their control such as screwing around down at the booby bars when they are suppose to be manning the 60 on the ambush 5 klicks away).

Fellas,
I am fixen to head out the door to meet Lil Cowboy and his wife for dinner with the Commander and his wife. I do not have a lot of time to sit and blog right now, but I just wanted to let you all know that in the next few days you can expect a BLOG that you have never witnessed before.
Lil Cowboy, you can test me all you want on being Company Sweetheart.....just remember that I am the daughter of the Commander and he taught me well. You all have no idea what is in store for Lil Cowboy now that he has challenged me!

Night,
SWWOW

Keith, my little adopted brother, instead of spending postage on mailing me the $20 you owe from losing the College World Series bet, just put it into the company pot for me. And thanks for watching out for the elder Ratster for all of us. He has alot on his hands being a cherryTRA Commander & a rookie Major in the SF (Southern Forces). Seriously, thanks for all the work you did on the reunion. later

As the Commander of the TRA, I must always tell the truth. Yes I did lose my phone,(I did not get lost in my own town of 662). Yes Lil Cowboy got the phone, however I did not ask him where he got one like mime, I asked him where it got it . If I were the Cowboy, I would be kinder to the Commander. Some one ask him about getting the grill on his truck. He would still be trying if it were not for me. I love him like a Brother any way, although it be difficult sometimes. It is also very lonley working with him, ask his brother.
I am working on the reunion narrative where we will be discussing the Lil Cowboy in more detail. Keep the faith A Company, the info and pictures are coming.
Ron, Cochise and Rick, we missed you. Ron, call me Brother.
SWWOW is getting fisty and I may have to release formaly undisclosed information about her.
Tommy Higdon obtained a "Nickname" at the reunion, he is now known as "BOOTS". If you did not come to Vegas or attend this year, you will not understand the mdeaning behind the name. As "Boots" has made a commitment to attend future reunions,, you will have to attend to a reunion to understand the meaning behind the name.
Incase you attended and missed it, Cleon Moseley smiled.
All the guys were asking each other how Lee Bostic snagged such a pretty wife. Look in the mirror lately Lee?
I saw Phil "Lobo" DuBois get excieted this last weekend, I was standing next to him and he said "Wow".
I thought Neal Tillman was my friend, however, the word on the street ie he is the one who plotted against me and talked everyone into the collective bid on my mustache. I could be wrong, but I have it on good authority, right Lobo?
Neal, thanks for all the help cooking. I know you did it so you could eat all day. but thanks any way.
Coon, your a great worker and welcome at any reunion.
For all of you who plotted against me, remember what pay back is.

Rat,
Commander, TRA
