"It's a nice tree though" LMFAO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0skAEQb07jw That's actually pretty epic. J

Stay safe man. J

That sounds like on hell of a mindfuck as well. Truly sorry to hear that your friend took that route. I appreciate the support here. Looking at this I can recognize the location it was filmed in as just down from where my trailor was. It brings back floods of memories and scents. Cigars with some of my good friends as well as Senior NCO's, tossing around a football on a day off, etc. I could go on and on. Then the 'fucked up' memories of taking a shit while the incoming alarm went off while in a shitter/sinks trailor right by the 'big gun' (supposed to be an 'incoming detection and shoot down piece') while the alarm went off and hearing the booms as a few landed a few hundred yards away, after a cigar night behind work and three landing in the lake 125 yards from the office. It's not bothering me so much that it happened, as much as that it happened because of how we left them. J

I gotta ask you guys something; is it wrong to feel saddened to find out thata place you called home for a year has been destroyed and is only getting worse? I ask because today a friend of mine let me know that our old living quarters in Iraq had been absolutely decimated by recent rocket attacks. I find myself conflicted because I am glad I'm home safe and sound, yet I hate that the current occupents of there got fucked up badly (Iranian refugees) in part due to a lack of defense. J

What about the black with a trim color on the lip of the rim? J

It's worth it. I shipped mine from NY to AZ and it was 30 each. Money well spent. J

I just look at it as a 'why not' idea. I think if given a good location on a main road, properly advertised, and done in conjuncture with give aways here and there (bar signs, liquor guitars, etc) it could be a success. Around here it's grocery stores side liquor stores and one or two real stores that do all the business. J

I have to ask a serious question here, do you believe opening your own business is a smart move in the current economic state? I ask because I am eligable for th VA small business loan, and I Starting to think that at this point in my life I would prefer to just run a damn liquor store (with employees mind you) than much else. I have surveyed the local area and there is a great area for a liquor store as there is none near by, rent in these stores isn't too bad, and they have ample parking. Am I off my damn rocker for thinking about this? J

No good brother. Just remember, nobody ever laid on their death bed wishing they had spent more time at the office. I hope shit at work improves quickly. J

That is probably because I didn't order a single "Western" protein the whole time I was there. I didn't have any beef, chicken or pork*. The asterisks is because in the pictures you will see pork liver, a veal cheek, a thalmus gland, and some other organs, but no actual "steaks" or the like.The closest is probably the grouse, but that was stuffed with goose liver.I understand the fact that those products may not sound appetizing, but that is only the confusion of the history of what you've eaten throughout your life. I grew up in Fargo ND and outside of a hot dish and ruined meat knew no better at one point as well. The day I expanded my culinary tastes was the single most important day in my life for increasing my happiness. I'd encourage you all to do the same. You have to get beyond thinking about what the food is and instead use your nose and mouth to taste it. Going to Asia helps this as well since you can't get anything translated anyways.My theory on food is rather simple. If there are any people anywhere on the globe that REALLY like some sort of food I want to try it no matter what it is.Honestly, the sense of smell is one thing that really limits what I try. If it does not smell appetising to me, I will not eat it. If sewer rat smelled good, I'd eat it. I could care less what it is, as long as it smells good I will try it.J everything smelled heavenly And I take that back, I have one other limiting factor. Creamy sauces (cream based soups, ranch/bleu cheese dressing) is another thing that I have ZERO interest in. J

Happy birthday brother!!! J

It really isn't bad down in Tampa/St Pete. Clean and fun beaches, decent cost of living, and the tourists who fuck shit up are only here a few times a year. Honestly, if you stick to the locals spots, it's great. J

He went for the culture.JIf by culture you mean food then yes, but of course they are usually one in the same.The food was one of the best parts of my deployments. We had a small 'village' on base with a ton of locally grown vegetables used in the food, and localy slaughtered meats. Some of the tastiest food available. Sucks that we were 'banned' from going there a few months before we left. Some high ranking fuck got sick, so we all got the shaft. There were signs posted as to the lack of 'safe verification' of the ingrediants, but it was a tasty way to risk your stomach.J I drink the water in Mexico. No pussy stomach here.Only time I ever had the water in my drinks in Mexico it was as ice. The reason their food was deemed unsafe was in large part due to what they use as fertilizer; anything they can. Animal and human poo was not uncommon to use as fertilizer there. Still didn't care. Veggies were always well washed, and it tasted great. J

No snow experience on these, but lots of rain. Those are the tires I had put on my truck in NY, before my trip back to FL. Quiet ride, comfortable, good cornering for a tire that did not have higher speed cornering in mind when designed. When running a bit 'off road' in shallow sand, it gripped right on like it was made for it. Honestly these are best tires I have had on the Tundra. J

Decided to move on down to FL? J

The Jeep's PO was a firefighter and he said "I'm not wearing a seatbelt, I've seen a lot of bad accidents because of it". Riiiiight... My GF doesn't like wearing it around town...one time I had to brake hard and she hit her knees on the dash. Guess who's wearing a seatbelt all the time now? I have issues with people wearing them in the back seat. Apparently they don't quite understand that they become nothing but dead weight to fly around without it. J

Whats the details on the car? I can see if I can find ya one cheap here. Congrats on the new job too!!

Ice and ibu not cutting it? Dating a PhD in physiology has taught me a few things. One is that if there is swelling, it is there for a reason, so leave it alone. Meaning, if I can put up with the pain, it will heal faster.Now if I could only get someone to have my knees track correctly. J
