The August thread is up and running lads. Figure I would get an early start on it since I will be on vacation most of next month.

My vacation starts August 1st and I have to come back to work August 18th. Going to get some range time in while I am off. Have a few new toys to break in. The coffee is coming right up.

Don't know how old you are but we used to get beer in conex containers. Canned, of course. They had been sitting on ships for two weeks, docks at both ends for a month or more each. Always exposed to the elements, (summer was a real treat). And always the very best of brands, like Olympia, Pabst, Schlitz. I can attest to the fact that beer was not mad to sit in a hot steel can inside a hot steel shipping container. But, we drank it anyway. Sometimes it was even chilled.


Have a great night all.

I'm catching up to 30, done a bit of time in military service and currently still serving. The mean green machine shows no emotion for sure.

Guess we should appreciate the things they do but in some cases, especially knowing better is readily available, appreciation is a bit hard to come by.


You be careful Tractor Boy.

I like to live dangerously, careful for me ends up in a terrible way. I just go with my gut and usually stay safe
