Good news on the homefront, MadHat. But, we'll keep the prayer lines open for just alittle bit longer.

Ah, the weekend, what to do? About time for an oil change and a fuel filter change for baby....then it's a fun filled weekend of doing absolutely nothing. Practicing for retirement......

Strength and patience, keep your mind on the task MadGrandson...God knows
you love him (it's okay to like him more too!)

Busy but happy, harder to catch up what all has been going on with bunch of gnarly diesel sippers.....Man, I missed you guys!


Janitor busy with important people; watch for 'Hillary' buttons next....please get her outta NY.....talk about taxation without representation...


Good to see all the regulars and ALWAYS love the new faces peeking in, never fear taking a jab at a fellow member in here! especially the bathtub guardian, CHRISR.......hehehe, whew! felt for ya bro in that iron maiden protective battle dress......never mind the bullet- it'll be the heatstroke.

shower and sleep for heidi in NY

 

Evening, DTR. What a day. I don't want to go into too much detail, but lets just say that the day ended up with my platoon being put on isolation. All the kids got a virus, not dangerous or anything, but 84 cases of the flu at once are not cool.
Last I heard, gramps was moved to his own room out of ICU, and things are going as expected. He still has not been awake enough for me to talk to him, but I'm just glad that he is doing well so far. Still a little worried, but I feel better with all the support here.
Cindy, sorry to hear about your pup. It's a hard thing when a friend is sick and we cannot do anything about it. Few words give comfort, but I'm here for you.
Hot here, too. Not as bad as the rest of the week has been, but not below 95, either.

Have a good one, see everyone in the am.

 

Glad to Here Gramps is doing better, we are keeping him and the rest of your family in our prayers.

I hear Crown Royal kills flu germs..... I don't know how accurate that is, but it can't hurt

Have a safe weekend and try to get a little rest in there somewhere if possible

 

I was thinking about having the wife bring me some Jack, but I don't want to get fired! I am almost over what the recruits have, so I'm good.

 

Cin,

I don't know any Puppy get well prayers but I am willing to take a stab at it for you Good luck and of course you are in our prayers as well

 

Welcome back Heidy!

I will bring the rail and help run her outta the country

Get some rest girl...you are busier than 10 hives of bees in a field of clover!

 

Mornin, DTR loyal. Coffee's on, 5ver and chaiwka blends...
I talked to Dullaydog last night, he says he's sorry he's too lazy to come over here and post, but he's found a new bunch of friends that are not weird like us... nah, that's not what he said. He said to say that he missed you guys, and to give everyone a shout. BTW, his truck is one of the TOM's, so get over there and VOTE!!!!!!!!!
Top, I have the rail, and some mason jars for that honey...

Nother beautiful day on PI... hope all the normal people have a good Saturday.

 

Morning Hat.. and the rest of you guys..

its 0300 and still 83* out.... this was suppossed to be our "cool down"????

Not much going on around here....all is secure about the decks, nothing to report.......

Day shift had some more excitement tho, a drunk thought he'd try and build us a new gate...Didnt make it though...better luck next time, now go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.....

offonanotherpatroljusttobedoingsomething........CD

 

Mornin...
That's why I like the 203 HE rounds... take a car off the map...

 

This post sits in the middle of town, literally...State Capitol to boot...
the town grew around the amory comlex and we have residences across the street on three sides, and a ball field and grocery store on the fourth, makes incindenary devices and explosives impractical...or at least politicaly incorrect

 

We have embedded spike strips and pop up barriers around our gates. One time, one of the retard MP's decided that they needed to be tested in the middle of the night, and hit the switch on it with out calling the gate, (it has 2 controls, one at the CP, and one at the gate) and a toyota compact was rolling through at 25 or so...not pretty.

 

Ok.... I know I am not a marine, but I dont think i need to be told 5 times... Mouse get stuck????

I have seen video of the pop-up barricades tossing a sedan over oto its roof, i can imagine what it would do to a small import.. hope it wasn't a staff officer....

We have the spike stripes and pop-ups, but they are mobile, and we only deploy them during security alerts and such.. over the next year as they remodel the gates, they should be mounting permament ones. ( yeah!finally!)
I am the lucky guy who got stuck being "in charge" of them, and since they wont give me time to train the rest of the guys( always something more important to do), I get called in everytime they want them deployed or have a question about them...guess its job security, but it would be nice to train the troops on the equipment they are using.
We also got a really cool vehicle inspection camera system, but its so dern tempermental that it rarely works...

and before anyone asks, this is all info you could get by simply watching the post from the road for a few days, otherwise i wouldnt discuss it...

here is what I would like them to get:http://www.deltascientific.com/vid_dsc2002-2.htm

 

Jeez, I'm still waiting for the coffee to cool after 3 hours of sleep and I thought I was haveing a groundhog day attack.

Long haul today, 7a-10p.
