It is. I had a strange career. Should have just stayed active Navy. Came in as a BM and left as a IS1. Then Air force with a ESWS badge. was interesting to say the least.

That's pretty good advancement there! We lived off base for a while in Waipahu, then moved into Iroquois Pt, had to evacuate there during Hurricane Iniki

Been in yards in the snow many times. Not bad at all if you know where stuff is at... Once, like a million years ago, I was getting a drivers sport mirror for my '71 Cuda and sliced the side of my wrist on the inner door metal. I thought my buddy was gonna pass out when I licked the blood off so it wouldn't get all over the car. :rofl:

Sometimes it's better when the ground is frozen and your foot doesn't get sunk in the mud and almost take your shoe(s) off like in the summer and it's muddy... :mad:

One time I cut my wrist on a fan belt on a running car. The cut and mark looked like I slit my wrist. Everyone freaked and accused me of trying to take my own life so I had to show them how it happened and stress that i don't want to do that, i want to live.

I tried to commit suicide once, almost succeeded, killed the guy next to me.... :BangHead:
 
Made it in 7 years went in as a E-1. Definitely hit the books. Payed off in the long run. Dam air force takes forever to advance was stuck as a E-5 forever they would not take me as a E-6. Like a buddy of mine used to say "if your not the same rank twice you isn't ****". Retired as a e-7 at least. Prob would have been a 9 if I stayed.

Well, it did look pretty convincing and I bled like a freaking automatic transmission with a ruptured cooling line.

I once had to get my transmission rebuilt when I lived in Detroit... I was going to drop it off at the trans shop after work after planning to get into work a little early so I could leave early... :steering:

I loaded it into the back of my rental car (white Escort) and the trans fluid got all over the back of the car and my work clothes... (Had to drive a rental because I was fixing my daily driver).... So I had to go change my clothes which now put me late for work... :BangHead: :mad:

On the way to work, trying to make up for lost time, I get pulled over by a cop for speeding... He thinks the red liquid all over the back of the car is blood ans suspects that I have a dead body in there... I told him that it's only transmission fluid that leaked out when I loaded the trans and go ahead and look in the trunk... (How can you not know the difference between blood and trans fluid???) :realcrazy:

Dang, I haven't seen a Chevy Berreta around in years. They must not have made very many because I've only seen a couple in my time.

No, they made tons of Chevy Barettas, they are pieces of **** and all are junk now...

They all have been recycled through the salvage yards and have been made into Toyotas now.... :steering:

Yeah... not very much different in the Guard.
 
Let me go start the heat in the shop and see how many beers froze and exploded! Man that could cause a work stoppage there
 
Put my pretzled bumper in the hydraulic press yesterday. The toughest thing to get rid of is the twist. Dents are easy, kinks are tougher. I left it to think of what i can do to untwist it.
 
Actually want to get the short block together today. Picked up some more plasticgaue I was out of yesterday.
