"Howdy" there everyone, just a check in with all the new folks. I from just a bit north of Springfield (Bolivar) and then 4 beers west, to Fairplay, oh yea then 2 more beers north.
But currently flying Russian helicopters way east of you'all, Afghanistan to be exact. Can't wait to get home and start up the 79 F250 4x4 w/6'' lift and 36's, 400 4spd, fenderwell exit headers to duel chrome stacks (thanks again Unk BoB).
No mufflers and LOUD as hell, gotta love it!!

hey guys - just requested membership down here in cape girardeau...100 miles south of st. louis and 100 miles north of arkansas. weather sucks lately, but it's a good excuse to get out in the ice/slush.
just retired a 93 full size bronco lifted with pro comp mud tires and got a 99 f250 sd sc with 5.4 with short bed...wish i could have both!

Thanks for the "thanks", always nice to know most folks are supportive of us over here. Just remember that its not a soldier's choice, its his duty.
Well, we have a choice to stay in or get out, and most of us decide to stay in for a number of reasons. And then it becomes a do as you are told deal, by our commander.
Just cause you have to do it doesn't always mean you like it. Of course all this is IMO besause I am retired US Army Soldier, and now a "contractor". AKA......
I am not here just for the women and beer! It's a cool gig, anyway.
Stayin safe, at or below 50 feet and 130 knots, and always "Armed and Ready"
Looks like R&R is a little closer than I thought, maybe 10 Jan ?
