Hmm, yea. Merv is beating me. I'll have to work on that while he's gone


Merv, you should've brought your car with! You could've marked off a 1/4 mile on the runway and made passes with that nice high octane pump gas they have over there

Or at least yank the vacuum line off the waste gate on one of the Hummers to give it some more boost

I'm sure if there was any way possible for him to have his car there. He would but it wouldn't do any good because he hasn't put the standard transmission in it yet.

^^The Transmission won't be done till about the end of January anyways..so it will stay in storage until then.
I wouldn't bring the Z over here anyways.. too hot and too dusty.

Merv...and all the other soldiers/servicemen and women on here.....know that what you all are doing for this country is the ultimate sacrifice and "thanks" doesn't even come close to describing how "most" of us feel. And when I say "most", I mean the general public. There's always the anti-war, tree-hugging pansies who protest this and that but to them I say:

If you can't stand behind out troops, stand in front of them!



GOD BLESS OUT TROOPS

I love people like you. You remind me that the things we go through in life ( being in the military) are not unseen and do have meaning to some people. I have been deployed and now my boyfriend is deployed so I'm getting to see what it feels like from both sides and it really doesn't feel that great either way. But I still do it because I love my country. And if we don't take care of it, who will? Thank You

Thanks for the support guys.

A couple of days before I left there was a protest demonstration infront of the Air Force Base. They were holding signs saying the Air Force was Gay, God is the Enemy..all kinds of crap like that. They had American Flags in their back pockets and were dragging them on the ground.
There was about 15 local Police standing there as well, protecting them from getting their *** whooped. I say that cause I'm sure that there were plenty of civilians that would of done what the Military guys would get in trouble for.

Legally they have the right to protest whatever they want..hence the freedom of speech. But they forget how those rights were written and fought for over 230+yrs ago by people that believed in the same ideas that those of us that serve and plenty of civilians would support.

It sickened me to see that, but I know that they will get their own. Most countries over seas the government would take that one, but here in the USA, the local civilians will take that one and carry it out.
