My view two days ago enjoying a couple cold beers with an old Vet friend.
Have a good one folks

Morning Mike ... nice thing to do with not only a friend but a VET as well. It was with his efforts you are able to do that. We owe them a lot for what they did in all the wars.

that is so true Mark, he is the only Vet that has served between 4 of us so we spent the evening at his house, he served in Hawaii and we heard stories that day we all never knew about him.
 
But here is the greatest vet I ever met setting next to me beside his wife, Tony Fields a long time member here we lost two and a half years ago

A lot of VETS don't talk about what went on as it brings back bad memories of what they saw and buddies they lost. Too bad the Generals etc weren't the ones that engaged in the fighting instead of sitting safe and sound behind a desk firing orders. Maybe there wouldn't be any wars if they were the only ones fighting. LOL
 
Another up all nighter. Get to pour concrete this morning, then turn around and put a radiator in my work truck, so I can go to work afterwards. Going to be a fun day. At least the weather will be nice.
 
DR. phoned me yesterday and he's sending me for ultra-sound and x-rays on both shoulder to find out exactly what's going on. Tendinitis for sure we know that with Arthritis and frozen shoulder. Sounds like Rice Crispies in there when I move them. He's also going to send me to a rheumatoid specialist as well for my hands and wrists. They may just shoot me and save money... who knows.

Lost money but nice to have some time off as well. Enjoy your day.

You would think we have nothing to do with the buses just sitting but we stay steady in an 8 hour day checking each bus and replacing air brake parts that begin leaking from corrosion due to sitting and exhaust and things rusting out from the moisture underneath not drying up.

Morning guys... up and attum. Thought I'd be sore this morning but not too bad and haven't taken any Tylenol yet. Going to help my buddy put his cars away today. He has a 1 and a half garage and we're going to put his two cars in there. It might be a little tight plus have his snowblower there as well. He has a 65 GTO and an 89 Cavalier. I'll take a picture when we're done. I did some calculations and measuring and think it will all fit. Guess we'll find out . OH BTW looks like I'm first. Have a good one

should fit no problem, specially if you flip the cav on its side...you know like in the old days

When in the US Air Force in the 70s I was an inflight radar technician on the "Super Constellation" or "Connie" EC121.

While in Keflavick NAS Iceland our fleet was grounded due to a crash and fire (a whole other story) and the british 8th squadron came to take over our alert duties with the Shakletons

Four Rolls Royce V12 engines , each with two props counter rotating. I got to not only fly with them as an observer, but since their Aircraft Commander was also an instructor pilot, he let me fly the plane. I'm not a pilot, and that was a thrill of a lifetime. Reading the stories from you guys brought back the memories. Thank you!!
