St. Louis

Well, another vacation over with, another weekend to drink beer. Back to normal for awhile. Maybe I'll stop off in a few towns or something. Scott AFB is pretty nice. Makes a sailor miss the military. I did manage to pick up a case of Military Special if anyone wants to try some. I used to hang from helos, now I hang from towers. I might look into some climbing equipment. Just something to keep me up to par. Think I might go down to the hottub for a bit before knocking off.

Heaven

I think that I just experienced pure fucking heaven. I was test driving my cars after making some repairs(get to that in a minute), so I stopped by the Rivertown Butcher shop and picked up a prime thin cut. Grade-fucking-A. Then, since the two shops are connected, I picked up some home-grown white potatoes and a home-grown white onion at Englebrecht's. Okay, you have to try this: get the butcher's homemade rub and a bottle of olive oil. Pour about a tsp of the oil on the cut and then apply liberally the rub(rub it in good) to each side. Let it sit in the fridge for about an hour. Grill to your preference. Fry the potatoes the way Mom does, but get a shaker of Sea Salt and coarse ground pepper. Salt and pepper normally, enough to cover the potatoes. Put as much of the onion in as you prefer(Heather and I like a whole one.) I prefer canola oil, but you can use whatever. Pure fucking heaven. I don't even need to use A1 sauce. It's really unnecessary.
Do not drink too much beer as you will lose some of your senses and you need all of them to enjoy this!

Okay, onto vehicle maintenance. Bosch Platinum four-prong plugs. They will make your vehicle "purr" like a kitten. I will never buy Champion plugs again, as one was blown apart in Heather's Toyota. I can hardly hear the engine cranking. I bet they added 40 hp. Get 'em next time your horse needs a tune-up.

Okay, I guess it only goes to level 30. Time to download it.

Mormons

So I had the chance to talk with some mormons that came by the house yesterday. Turns out they aren't as close-minded as most xtians but still need to back up what they believe. They don't put much faith in the accuracy of the bible, but more-so in the book of mormon. They gave me a "Book of Mormon" to read which I probably will since I don't know much about it. Yeah, I know, they are polygamist or something like that. I need to read it before I start attacking them. I did manage to fluster one of them(I guess he needs to figure out what he believes), but the other seems to have adapted his beliefs to agree partially with modern science. I guess they don't prepare their "messengers" to argue with atheists. Nice fellas, though. I tried to get some work out of them, but neither knew how to weld. Still stuck at level 23

Crazy Cube

This game is kicking my ass at level 19. Might have to break out the Wild Turkey to solve this one...Okay, 23 now.

Uncle Sam

Tornados

I hate them.

Bud Light

Damn the Bud Light!!!!

Starriors

Remember Deadeye and Cricket? Looks like someone else does too.

Bored and boooring...

I'm fucking bored. Who would've thought becoming a civvie would be so booooring. Now I know why there are lifers. Can't blame my Pet-rat or the Stiffler for staying in. Yeah, the money is good, but now I just spend more to stop the boredom. Okay, okay. So I bitched about being AD and now I'm bitching about being civvie. You don't know what youse got 'til its gone. Sinner and Yucko were right.

I must argue, however, that the more expensive Wild Turkey Rare Breed is much better than the cheaper 80 or 101 proof.

Here are some pics for old times sake:



Why I ever got out of that job, I don't know why. Feels like forever.












I know I owe alot of you bastards out there
a whole lotta beer.

Radiator Bearings

Don't you think its funny to ask for a radiator bearing at the local hardware store?

I thought it was, but this kid, who thought I was serious, didn't think so. I had to let him in when he asked his manager if they had any, to which his manager asked, "Are you serious?" He he. Dumb ass.

Warcats and pissing...

This is an alarm I set up to stop my cats from peeing on the floor. I just received a letter from SGT Nugent which had his solution: put the cat outside. Smart-ass.

Sorry bout the size, but blogger won't shrink the damn thing.

Jarheads

Just saw Jarhead. You should watch it if you have ever served in the military. If you haven't, disregard, candy-canes.

Army Death

An Army Soldier died today. Many have, but this one was a friend's son's best friend. He was a SGT(E-5). More valuable than five civilians, including the veteran civilian typing this blog, he was a brother to many high and low. He did his job better than anyone, and died among family. From what I hear, this warrior's family-relationships forged on blood and sweat, was closer and more valuable than his own blood family. There isn't a better place or way to die, protecting your family from some foe. I didn't know him personally, but I and a few other MilPers know his character and will remember such sacrifice. Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. Two shots of Military Special for such a man, such a man that many can only aspire to be.

Wild Turkey

Here's one for CGAS Detroit...

Here's To Them

A year ago, I worked with some of the best people the U.S. has to offer. I'll make sure to drink a few shots of wild turkey for a few of 'em and then a few Miller Lite's for Shortstuff and the gang. If any of you are reading this, I still got your back. Fair winds and following seas...

In other news, TGD has a new hog. I just thought I would let everyone know how gay he is. He's gay. If DFB has tendencies, then TGD is Richard Simmons gay. He's so gay, Clay Aiken won't date him. If he were any gayer, we would have a new species of homo. He would be a homo-asexual, cause he wouldn't be getting any sex. Hee hee, hee hee yah yah...

Ok, so I passed my test and now I get to take another test so I can go to another school. When I get back? I get to take a test on how much I learned. But it's ok, cause I get to eat good, get paid, and drink beer. Mmmmm beer.

Oh, and for you guys out there still interested, my wife is still for sale.

16 bit interface

Okay, I have a 16 bit program that runs on windows 2000 thru DOS. The program was originally written for a Tandy. Used for logging maintenance over a network. Here's the problem: I am unable to print out the data through a network connection mapped using UNC. The laser printer is connected to a central "server" computer via LPT1. I mapped to it through a router connection. The printer will print from Word, Excel, etc. It even prints from the 16 bit program, but the printout is garbled with various characters. One laptop, which was previously setup for this, successfully tells the printer to print out the correct characters. I can't find a difference. Both use Win 2k. I suspect it somehow converts the 16 bit data to work on a 32 bit printer. All other computers garble the data. Could this be a port issue? I can't seem to tweak any computer and can't find a difference in port settings. Is there a background program? I didn't check task manager. Does anyone remember what DOS is? I tried to print from DOS, but 2k is being a bitch. I wish we would upgrade our equipment! I'll buy a sixpack of your choice for the successful answer.
