Sure is.
Wife is up, she is going to a BIL's funeral with Danny in NY today. No idea how the pole bearers will do it he is almost 500 lbs.
Wife and I got up about 2:30 and had some potato salad and cole slaw. I was wide awake going back to bed so got up so she could sleep
Dog at 0330 for me today.
Good Morning All! Early crew today for sure!
Undertakers usually supply help if needed.
I am hanging back only met the guy once. Prob a good thing he was bed ridden for over ten years.
Wow...biggest guy I knew was 360. He'd fall asleep driving. Had a 62 Chevy drag car that he could barely get in and then had to struggle to get out of it.
That's a long time in bed.
He was a retired NYC cop also.
Been awake since about 1:15.....and remember seeing the clock hit 1:23. That's what I get for going to bed at 8.
Did a military funeral once for a vet colonel that size once. They left the cart under him and had it wrapped in black cloth to conceal the cart.
That should help with pall beares then. They take care of their own.
Should get a least a motorcycle escort of some sort to the cemetery.
I wonder if Nacho74R/T is still around and if he’s doing well?
Do a members search.
I did nada so I guess that answers that
Yep no listing.
Back in like 07/08, I participated in the members chain shipping of some cart parts for the dude. Helped him get an NOS quarter from Detroit all the way down to Miami and into a shipping container to go overseas. To Venezuela where he was working and living at the time.
Every funeral around here gets a motorcycle escort to the cemetery.....
Wasn't he from Venezuela?
Maybe he's tanning his Thouckas in Caracas, since he has a little more freedom now. Lol
I don’t quite recall. I think he was originally from Portugal or Spain. But was working for Chevron or one of the other oil companies that were operating in Venezuela. Last I knew, circa 2012/2013, he was selling out trying to buy his passage out of the country.
Only vets and cops/fire/ems folks here.
So anyway, busy week ahead, tons of work stuff to do, ontop of that hvac, plumbing and siding contractors all scheduled to tentatively start their portions this week on the house. I Was supposed to be there now but wife wants to do a purge/deep clean of this current house we’re in. 
Traffic here is getting worse and worse but iirc, off duty biker cops were moonlighting it. Not sure what they are doing these days but kinda doubt that the city is offering it.
