    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    "without a hitch" is an expression of speech, right!? I'm thinking that's what it was he meant. And you're right, those rims are sweet; for sure.

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    What else about the move that's funny, is it was clearly filmed in southern California or some other dry kind of territory (the trees -Joshua?- and the tall grasses give it away), and that sure isn't any Siegfried Line kind of European countryside (even WITH the dragons teeth). Hollywood is a...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    You really "done it up good"; the CUCV looks great: - I don't know the stuff, what is Mar-Glass?

    Fording Project

    I was in Vegas once when the mercury hit 112F. I decided I should go outside and take a walk, check out what that kind of temperature "means". That taught me something. Are you telling me that people live in 125F temperatures!? Or is everybody inside? With A/C?

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    I believe the original intent and purpose (under Hitler) was rapid troop deployment, but likely the multi-purpose function as an airstrip was also part of the original plan (Hitler had the benefit of a lot of good talent). Eisenhower copied it with the U.S. Interstate system (I think it was...

    SR71 Blackbird

    There is the story of the trans-continental trip across the U.S. coast-to-coast and I think it was an hour or something. I guess I could do the math, but well you know....

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Gravity never deceives: - It is dependable and reliably honest Gravity; it's not just a good idea, it's the law.

    SR71 Blackbird

    I have a daughter in high school, and if i told you what her Calculus textbook cost I'm telling you your heart would go into fibrillation: - I'm not thinking the sled-driver book gets anywhere near it if that'll help you at all.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yes, that's them; thank you! I am telling you I remember seeing some of those on the approach to Lander (from Cheyenne I think it was), and they were 3x that height! BIG things. But then that was a long time ago, and maybe I ingested something unusual that day with a high school buddy or...

    Hey CARNAC I didn't know were relocating up to the Mid-Atlantic, I don't go to Harrisonburg much for any reason but it sure would be fun to connect with you around here someday. Who knows!? Now if we all could just figure an easy way to get WV New Guy out of his fix here.

    M925 a1 armored crew cab

    Thanks for the clarifications; that's interesting to know. And your comment reminded me of a job I did here in DC a long time ago. It involved a secure space with a ballistic wall, and they key to design of the wall was an air gap (just a 1/2") between two sheets of 1/4" steel. As I understood...
