Is the Air Force really a fighting force? Sorry, I just can't get past my experience with them. Maybe 0.8% put themselves in harms way. The rest, a dorm life.

BTW, Rick, you are a prime candidate to drive up to my house, spend the night, then go up to TS in May. Why not drag Rolland up here too. We could do a lot of fishing. Say you want to go somewhere? Bring it brother.

You are such a TOOL Rich. And yes, you better bring your drinking boots when you come here. Rich thought he could empty the supply, not gonna happen. I am prepared for disaster. Not going to get caught short. Now I need to get another one.

LOL, Roland and I was taking about TS tonight. You make it very tempting. Sounds like a good plan. I hope to make it there, just don't know right now. Now I have to answer Rich. What is the deal, he couldn't handle drinking with you????

And??? Sounds like my moto. Drink today, because there might not be a tomorrow. . One more, just one more, this is the last one, I know all about this.

I hard a very difficult morning.....

1. the sunlight hurt - had to wear sunglasses indoors
2. Thankfully I only had to pull the camper @ 100 miles that day
3. I put the A/C on high in the truck & nearly froze the kids
4. I needed a scrub brush to get the fuzz off my teeth

You had breakfast, a ride in my truck, and a big hangover. I call it a good time. Come again whenever you want.

I'll say one thing though.

Mike & Mrs. Mike treated us like royalty. I still remember the awesome Lasagne she made that night and the great pancakes, bacon & eggs breakfast in the morning.

To top it off they had their family help entertain my kids, and they had a ball.

A debt, I still haven't been able to repay the appropriate way.

There is nothing to repay. I enjoyed the company and what you have done is above and beyond the call of duty. Make sure the wife knows this Rich. There is no debt, we were glad to have you and the fuel treatment is above and beyond the call. It was a case of Schaeffers folks. Way more than needed or expected. I appreciate it Rich. In case I haven't thanked you, I wish to do it now. Now let it go except for the part where you are the one that says if you don't have another beer with me, I could be dead tomorrow. I'll drink all the beer you want. No excuses needed.

Well chit, drop your cell phone in a toilet and you fall out of the loop. I lost all my contacts, thanks to Verizon and the lack of a SIM. BTW, I am back up now, same number. Just leave a message and I will store you and get back to you. Thanks for your cooperation.

OK, I checked it. It appears we are full. Does not mean Rick and Rolland can't roll through.

Hey guys, not in the military so i didn't vote, but i work on a military base and to comment about the "change" post, one thing that has changed is the physical requirements. At least for the navy that is. All everyone talks about is how leinent they have become in letting people in the navy and also letting people stay in the navy. They say this is because the low recruiting numbers they are getting.
