Got some seam sealer hiding my welds.... needs to cure for a few days then paint and no one will see my sins! :) That Purple Power stuff seems to do something... filled a tub with it last night and put my regulators in and it was bubbling away, will see how they look tonight when i get home.. i think i forgot to remove the fiber washers that slide in the frame :( Will need to find some..

Unfortunately the water stopped around 3 weeks ago when the guy down the road started his garden again. Only real thing I can do is let it dry up, do a property damage report since no one will enforce the law. Then the state has to enforce it. 10K fine and I want it restocked with adult fish.
 
Morning all. Yesterday, I picked up my great friend John, from the new Kansas City airport. It's brand new opened a month ago.
I was early just trying to find my way from the parking lot into the terminal and figure out where to find him.
I was early and apparently, he was too. As I walked in I see him coming down the escalator...haha the chances of that.
We then did out usual when he comes to town and went to his favorite BBQ place for lunch.
An amazing place going back Saturday when we're back in town.

Lol I haven’t had coffee yet. This training course is the most mentally challenging army course I’ve been through so far. Lots of trig and math.

When I took calculus in college, it didn't take me long to figure out I didn't give a rat's behind where the mathematical formulas had come from. Just give me the formulas and I'll do the work. I think they made a special classroom for the instructor we had. The only part of the walls that wasn't chalkboard was the door way :wtf: :lol:. Some days it took more than one lap around the room for him to make his point :lol:

That is one thing positive, they are simply giving us the forumulas without the ba behind it

I wish. There’s not even been a PowerPoint!!! No video intro or anything like all the typical courses.

Nope, it’s an old school retired full bird giving lessons on a chalkboard

OK don't tell us what the course is....
Math and trig never heard of trig in anything Army or anything I ever did??
Math work could be a lot of things.
No Power Point the Army lives by PP or maybe it's just feed to your iPad??
Things have changed since I retired 13 years ago.

Is he going to help you prep the cars for the sale event? Please tell him hello for me. Great guy, and holy smokes he has forgotten more car stuff than I could ever hope to know. He is literally a walking encyclopedia of Mopar.

It’s Range Development and Safety Advanced course. I mentioned it earlier this week. Basically learning how to build ranges and impact areas

Nope, there is zero technology allowed. The instructors are even not allowing calculator use. It’s like I’m back in school way back when lol.

OK BS on that one. :lol:

Not sure, but the dates on some of these things are from the early 1980s!! Probably photo copied but I’d wager the original was done on a type writer. At least the formula sheets for sure.

Wanna hear something sad… females are now allowed to have pig tails and dreadlocks in uniform. And they can dangle…

And that right there is exactly why our boy dropped his retirement package last week. The Army has woke him right out of the service. Shame, while they are losing an excellent soldier we are happy he is done. The Army has went way past woke with their nonsense. Rant over
