What is the LATEST recognition your Cobra has had recently?

[BLACKJACK]

EDLEY - - -

YOU HAD TO DO IT !! YOU JUST HAD TO DO IT. YOU COULDN'T RESIST MENTIONING "TEMPERATURE".

WE HERE IN THE FROZEN TUNDRA OF WASHINGTON DC DO NOT LIKE TO THINK ABOUT TEMPERATURE. IT'S 21 DEGREES OUTSIDE MY WINDOW AS I WRITE.

TOMORROW - SATURDAY - THE HIGH IS FORCAST TO BE 30 DEGREES - AT BEST.

THAT MEANS THAT AT 06:30 TOMORROW I'LL HAVE TO SIT IN THE ERA FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES - WRAPPED IN NEARLY EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING THAT I HAVE (LOOKING RATHER LIKE "CHARLIE BROWN") JUST TO GET THE OIL TEMP OFF OF THE BOTTOM PEG. THEN DRIVE 27 MILES WITH NO TOP (THE TOP'S BEEN FROZEN LIKE A PIECE OF PLYWOOD FOR WEEKS) IN TO VIENNA, VA FOR THE CACC "GREASE-UP" BREAKFAST.

IF YOU DON'T SHOW UP AT THESE THINGS YOU ARE DUBBED "A WIENIE" FOR A LONG TIME. EVEN WORSE - IF YOU'RE NOT THERE YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF APPPOINTED TO A POSITION OF "ABSOLUTELY NO AUTHORITY". SAME IF YOU SHOW UP IN AN EXPEDITION. HELL, EVEN SHOWING UP IN A COBRA WITH THE TOP "ON" WILL GET YOU SOME SARCASTIC COMMENTS.

BUT - - NONETHELESS - - IT'S GOOD PRACTICE FOR OUR ANNUAL "NEW YEARS DAY CRUISE".

Y'ALL AVE A REALLY GREAT DAY.
