A little bit of 140 Octane AVGAS is where it's at..
Oh, we WOULDN'T huh... ouch I meant middle eastern gas though, as they have high quality ***** compared to us and even what Europe runs (which is much better than our crap gas).

There was a Arco Station here in Oregon on the news last summer that reportedly had leaves and sticks polluting their gas. It was pretty nasty. Never gotten gas from there since.

Stay safe brother, Here is a pic of me from my old army days at the range after my recovery from 3 broken vertebrae. (That's why I have a spare tire, my *** got fat!!!) Now im in better shape.

(Pic was taken State Side)


And below is what happens when you get to much sun. Keep the sun block handy I had some on but I did not put enough on! My CO chewed my *** for about an hour! I really do miss the Army I am thinking about reenlisting.

I'm Irish, Scottish, Russian and German. So as you can tell, not the greatest mutt mix for the sun. The burn happened not long after I first arrived in the box. After that I was pretty much ok, except for the top of my ears. My ears were tender for a long *** time after, a Buddie of mine also had tender ears after 3rd degree sunburn on them.

I'm doing good. I got me enough saved..
I already bought all my car stuff though, the rest is for the important stuff, and I'm moving when I get back so it's nice to have a good buffer.

Thanks for the support guys..it's nice to read this thread once in a while when there is nothing much going on.

In a way it helps with something to look forward too every week to come in here and make my weekly bump.
