Snakes are just so cool. Yes, especially when their cooking on a stick over your camp fire ! Can you tell I don't like snakes ? at least live ones.

Hey ! that back packer food isn't half bad. Try living on "C" or "K" rats ! Actually I did like them for the most part. I didn't care much for the "chilli", though the "beans and franks" where pretty good ! Since I was in the Marines I also know how many holes where in a "Gorilla" cookie. The...

I wish I just could get the wife to agree on a travel trailer ! Her idea of going camping is the nearest Hilton Hotel !

That'll free up some more play budget to finish the rest of the needed acquisitions. More play money is always a good thing :D !

So your a strong "wirey" guy then !

Your system sounds a lot like our bus radios. We have a PRT and PRTT button on the radio. When pressed, it connects with the coordinator downtown. One is for emergencies only, and the other for general questions. The radio also acts as a public notice over the loudspeakers ie: this is the last...

Most of the guys who where tipping over the RT's where young kids straight out of boot camp. Also I'm sure none of them had ever driven any kind of large equipment in the civilian world. At one point we had to up-right the RT 3 times in one day ! Granted the terrain was kind of rough, but if...

They are great units, no doubt about it. The problem was we always got some yah-hoo who thought he knew what he was doing and would tip it over ( I believe they just enjoyed doing it ). The problem got so bad that the unit commander said who ever tipped the RT over again would "go before the...

You have to be real careful driving those forklifts. They can tip over in a heart beat ! I know ! I was in the 3rd Battalion Landing Support Unit for a few years and we used these all the time to unload equipment.

My son wants one now ! I even caught my wife checking out my Toughbook. She has her own iPad, but likes the features in the Toughbook.

When I first bought my land, I brought in a 35ft insulated container. My father and I used it as our staging area as I bought raw land and had to first clear it. After the house and out buildings where built I converted it to a parts storage facility, which has been it's function ever since.

You got that right Tim ! First would come the submarine I always wanted to build, then ...... !!!!!

I also like to use Anderson connectors. There are a lot of places on the internet that sell them for a good price.

I know ! I never would have built my own laptop if it wasn't for Tim and all the help he gave me !

Hey Tim, how's it going on getting people to sign up for buying a barrel of "Pri-ocide" ? If you can get enough people to bring the cost down to $50.00 I'm in.

I wished my son would have joined the "Boy Scouts" . He just didn't want anything to do with the out-doors. Funny since my mother was a "den mother" and two of my brothers became "Eagle Scouts" .

Tim, by the time your done with all this you'll have enough tech and equipment to field a small mercenary army ! Disclaimer: Not that I'm saying that's your plan or anything ! You will have a "Way Cool Set-Up " though.

Ditto Tim. Great Score ! You probably use that thing for a wheel jack support !

SCORE ! I always like extra parts ! My motto is "you never know" . As in you will never know when you'll need that "thing-a-ma-jig" . I lost count of how many times I have had to rob a part off of a carb, or something else I have squirrelled away.

Sorry if I implied that Tim "strong armed" me into buying a Toughbook, but he was "tremendously" helpful in getting a good unit, and even helped supply me with some parts I needed ! I'm all for getting "expert" help when needed , and Tim is an expert in this field ! I've already installed over...
