Stop in for a cup of coffee

Starting to feel better finally

Cool

Sick sucks in general... moreso lately with panic mode promoted.

Joking around with a buddy about all the ridiculously dangerous **** we did for a couple of decades and we're going to get taken down because we washed our hands for 13 seconds and not 20. FFS

My "memories" from OneDrive for today

 

[Sublime one]

So Jodi is still in Ark so I made Elk meat gruel this evening, we can beans every year so added them plus some rice a can of Rotel and onions and peppers from garden. Not for the feint of heart. Lips burning, snot running down your nose kinda good! Man it’s yummy!

As a general rule Marines simply just don’t jump out of airplanes, I like to think we are smarter than that. (note our boy is a jump master in Airborne) Anyway, every now and then some of us were forced to jump, a lot of you on here know what I am referring to when the jump master asks “prejump” if anyone needs help exiting. They are always willing to put a boot on ya to assist in departure. Me personally I always voted for the assist! No way on gods green earth I was going willingly! Hah!

You have obviously not flown on some of the POS aircraft I have

But I've also hung off the ramp-door hinge of a C-130 like a candy bar wrapper...... just for fun

P.S. I worked as a Military Freefall Instructor for 4 years......

I really like departing aircraft while in flight.

In the ocean you're entering the food chain.

LMAO! I think good Sir we could easily sit down and share a pint or two. You appear to be just demented enough I could understand you!

Absolutely...

And I've slept in a snow trench in Northern Quebec province at -65° ambient air temperature....

I need to plan a road trip to hit key FABO locations...

Many of us have done just that and had a total blast. Not trying to impact your route or anything but here is a shelf in my shop. I have been to many a FABO members shop and with zero regrets. I can give you some pretty accurate intel on which ones to dodge if you are not planning on carrying water for dehydration symptoms! Hah!

And I have slept in a cave hiding in the Arctic Circle waiting to get tossed into the desert! It all makes perfect sense.

Kansas City, Z Man! Another lunatic Vet! We need to break in his new shop. However our wives have proclaimed we are not to be left unsupervised. It may have not turned out as well as it could have. But we certainly had a great time. We blamed TMM!

I’m not far from Hoppy’s and many of us have gotten together there. Have also been to Mitch’s, Wolfies… But the big ‘must go to’ around here is Carlisle.

 

[Mopar Tim]

I am in North county San Diego.. And I will be in PA for the big show...

You could attend Carlisle and Mopar's in the park ang see most everybody. (need to get BenRicky up to the shows)

Yup..... @Mopar Tim is squaring me away with a space at Carlisle so me and the dog will be present!

Haven't been to Minnesota in forever so I'll need to plan for MitP

 

[Sublime one]

Those two shows ( Carlisle and MITP) are the respective Mecca’s. That NE enclave by Hoppys world encompasses a whole bunch of good folks. The rest of us are a bit more scattered about. Our boy is based at Ft Mead so we were looking at bouncing up that way this upcoming year.

Well if you wander this way you have a place to stay although I'm only about 2 hours west of Meade and 2 hours south of Carlisle
