Mad, put it in your sig if you want to
Blake, if itīs hard to swim against the current and if the water doesnīt look blue.......GET OUT! But I think you already knew that, hahaha.

Mad, that one on my left foot, that one left to the big toe is so screwed. Your black toe wonīt even come close. But itīs not as bad as it sounds, itīs just a bit damaged. I should get a picture (close up) next week as my cam is already somewhere else.

As for the TOM, I did my best to make you win this one

Now I just need a pool...

Greetings after a coon's age.
Retirement is great and I'm back to work on a part time basis. Just enough to stay busy without being full time.Doing the same thing I did for so long.
Hope everyone is doing fine.
I will attempt to come in and visit more often.
If anyone is interested in a part time job of 10 - 12 days per month, plenty of travel around the states, and knows anything about mechanics, electrical, electronics, and HMMWV's, drop me a line. I need a couple more good men.

Evening everyone. Had a good day at work, not much going on this week but I kept busy with little jobs. Was hot again today and the boss didn't want anyone out working in the heat too much.

Mowed the yard after work. Had been too wet the last few days to mow. The grass grew pretty tall too. Got it all mowed and bagger in about 2 1/2 hrs this afternoon. Made dinner for myself tonight, the wife had dinner with two friends of hers. One of the friends is moving to OK next week and won't be back in the area for a while.

How's everyone?

Seems to me about number three on the list of instructions was something like "call your pet rock and walk toward it. It will look like it's walking to you."

There's something very wrong with that statement.

It actually kinda sounds like a joke.

Three men working out in a gym. One guy walks over to the other two, drops his pants and in a roided out, raspy voice says "Look at my legs"!!!!! You have to fill in the blanks after that. Actually, it might be fun to make a poll out of it.

Kriss,
I'm thinking about it. I need to re do my sig anyhow. Getting old. No one cares about it... gotta put some fun in it!

When I really was a hat, I had an ingrown toe nail so bad that it stuck out the side of my big toe... that's another story about the ER visit and the cops getting called...

Bruce, good to see you. With all the people I deal with here, it's hard to keep track. Great to hear that you are enjoying retirement... I know a thing or two about those busted HMW's, but I'm too busy to help you out!

Yeah, yeah. No, I can't swim any faster. Never heard that one before! I was gonna call you today, but Lary talked me out. As always, we talked about you...

Look, man. I know we are friends and all, but I asked you not to tell that story!

Evenin, DTR loyal. Plans to work on the truck were foiled by my neighbor across the street... he bought a new boat, guess who has a new project? "Hey, buddy, this is broke. How would you fix it?" (me) "I'd drill a hole in it and put a bolt, some washers, and some loctite one it." "You got some?" Yeah, he raided my PEB, I'm short about 15 bucks worth of parts. That's what friends are for, right?

Ok, drinkin a fresh, cold, frosty bud, surfing the DTR, gonna get to bed soon.

Did Top enlighten you on our encounter with Rapsy?

I was thinking what the heck is this guy on and why is he dropping his gear for Lary and I. LOL

LOOK AT MY LEGGS!

TR, the people I worked with for 30 odd years gave me a call, asked if I was interested in working part time, made an offer, and I took it. They said congrats, you are the first one hired, you are the lead man/supervisor, this is the short term/long term projects, you need to hire the rest of your people, determine tool requirments, etc, etc. Got one retired Army Sgt Major (grunt type) hired, working on a retired Air Force MSGT, looking for at least one to two more. So far we've been to KY, NM, MN, and AL. Typically a week gone and a couple weeks home. Keeps me from getting bored and allows me to ride the scooter a bunch. Got TX, NY, HI, and Guam scheduled next and then run up and down the right coast. The "extra" money is nice in that it allows me to get some things paid off much earlier so I don't have to be as concerned later.
Madhat, I see you're in Yuma. PCS or TAD?
Gotta git. Things to do before it starts getting warm outside.
