Blood of Tyrants:
I know what you mean I spent six years enlisted in the Coast Guard on ships built during WW II some of the constant noise from pumps and hydraulic lines running through the berthing area cost me my high frequency hearing hense the ear muffs on Christians head in the shot of him driving. I just started it up and it drag the M127 since I did not hook up the air lines and forgot to but it did not even flinch pulling it far enough to get the M52 out. I am going to hit the rusty spots with a wire brush and Rust Bullet them tomorrow since I fly back to Korea on Easter morning.

David, I also am glad you made it home safe with no major problems. It sounds like guite an adventure and I have met some of the fine folks you met on this trip so I can attest to how great they are. I am surprized as to how quickly you have to go back, so enjoy your family, and EASTER, and once again, thank you for your service to the people of this Country, even though many of them have no idea how important you and your fellows are to their continued freedom.

Glad to hear you got home without any big issues. 1200 miles, WHEW!! That's a little over double my last recovery trip done in one day. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to get up the next day and do it again!

Enjoy your Easter weekend with your family and your new toy!
