Thanks much for sharing. Now I have another gun to add to my "gotta check this out" list.
This was a busy weekend for me, and it actually started (sort of) on Thursday. Thursday afternoon, my department at work had a "team activity," so we spent all afternoon throwing axes. One of those axe-throwing places recently opened not far from our office, so we went there. A good time was had by most everyone (one team member didn't have much fun, but we found out Friday that she'd been on the verge of a full-blown illness of some sort or another).

Friday was the annual party for the entire company, so I spent all afternoon Friday running around Pittsburgh's South Side in an Amazing Race type of event, and then a good chunk of the night eating way too much wurst and pretzels at an authentic German-style beer hall.
Saturday I was up early to help squire another event for the 501st Legion. We were putting in an appearance at Mutt Strutt, which is an annual event to help raise money to train service dogs for veterans with PTSD, TBI, and combat-related injuries. It proved to be a very small turnout: nearly everyone who signed on for the event was forced to drop out at the last minute (either got called into work, had family emergencies, and in one case actually broke his leg), and we had four other events that day, so there was no one else available to fill in. So it was just me helping out a single, solitary stormtrooper.

Despite our incredibly poor turnout this year (last year we had upwards of fifteen troopers attend), the organizers were still thrilled to see us, and as usual it proved impossible to get anywhere quickly because people kept stopping us to ask to take pictures with the Stormtrooper.

Of course we had to get a picture of the Stormtrooper with the "Ewok."

That's Rocky Bleier. He played football for Notre Dame and was drafted by the Steelers in 1968. He was then drafted by the Army after his rookie season and sent to Vietnam. He was shot in the leg and part of his foot was blown off by a grenade, and he was told he'd never play football again. After a medical discharge, he rejoined the Steelers in 1970, despite barely being able to walk at the time. He earned a spot on the starting lineup in '74. in '76, he rushed for over 1000 yards. After he retired in 1980 (with 4 Super Bowl Rings), he's become heavily (if quietly) involved with various veterans' charities and support groups.
Today, I'm dogsitting this little bugger for what will probably be the last time.

Mom and Dad are moving to Florida next Saturday. Scotty's a little pain in the @$$, but I'm gonna miss him so much.
