Please elaborate. What number is this in reference to?

I think he was referring to the 666 portion of that number.

Bobby.... I have a Xj I am going to be sending to the scrap heap at some point very soon. It's got a hatched 4.0 and is generally a POS. But it did run and drive fine minus the rod trying to fly out of the block. If you need any parts lemme know. It also has a lift of some type... I haven't investigated much.

Let me give XJ a once over this weekend when I'm sitting at work, and I'll let you know. If you got any pics of her, wanna throw a couple up? Might see something that I haven't thought of.

Next is a threaded barrel

I think the new Gen4's have the option for a threaded barrel, so are you going to use stock barrel or you going aftermarket match type threaded barrel?

I got an XJ steering shaft for my burb. Ever hear of doing that?

Putting an XJ shaft on a Burb? No, but then again, I've never really done much to my previous vehicles besides the normal fluid changes and maintenance; XJ is the vehicle I'm sorta doing more stuff to when I can.

Bobby,

Instead of using the 'insert pic' link, attach them instead. If you scroll up a few posts, Ken posted a pic of a swivel socket but it has a little paper clip icon. When you click on the pic, it opens up in a new window, and if the window isn't large enough for the full size image, a magnifying glass icon appears and you can click the pic to make it FULL size. Yours look to be inserted into the body of the post and that's why when you click on them they open up full size.

If you're posting from your phone you may be limited in the method that you can use to attach pics.

Hope that helps...

Does that still work when using imgur?


Those spark plugs were GONE!

Yes they were. Now that I got the plug/wires/cap and rotor replaced, I can move on to other items before winter hits with it's icy fist of hate.

Coffee Induced Early Morning Rant / Re: John Steinbeck

Felt inspired-

Take seat and let me tell you about these grunts. I never knew of these unadulterated battles until I bared witness from their intimate perspective. They hump their packs over hill and dale as sure-footed as the wisest mountain pack mule. They traipse through water and mire clandestine to the most skilled tracker as they recon the nights patrol base. I watch them utilize the tools of their craft in consternation. Their rifles, their mortars; their machine guns speak to each other in symphony. They are the nightmare of battle. The proficiency with which they engage in combat tests the tenacity of the hardest insurgent.  They are truly artisans of death dealing. For this I am at a loss for words because one of them I could never be. My hands would not guide my rifle to fire fast enough and my feet would not carry me to cover soon enough. The trained ear of the infantryman guides his eyes to the sound of gunfire and through his iron sights he visualizes the fall of his foe and so they do fall… one by one… by one. Until the resolve of the last enemy fighter has been conquered the infantryman will stand. If he falls, which is uncommon, one more will stand in his place without the slightest cease of report from a rifle. There is no joy in witnessing the work of the infantryman. However, I must admit, I wept with admiration for these men, for they are cut from the rarest of cloth.

This has been a PSA from a grunt.

where is bobby and HC......................we need to know the infantry perspective on this as well.

I see some privates who didn't secure a wall locker or equipment, or the kill zone was scuffed and not properly buffed, or there were dust bunnies under a bunk..

Or a DS who decided that there needed to be some soul crushing, probably after opening all the laundry soap he could find and adding it to the pile, then stipulating there be a full gear and uniform inspection within 2 hours...


Could be a number of things- all of them horrible.

Thanks Bobby.  Helps us more fully understand the sacrifice.

My favorite line from the article: "he had this huge grin on his face as he rained hate on the jihadists rushing toward my flank."

hmm maybe there's a way for him to earn a premium price on some books my signing a few for us on the RMTW site.  I'd buy one.

I can ask him if he'd do a few. I will see what I can do.

Well, that is the asking price. I wouldn't pay any where near that for it
I just calculated the actual asking price and come up with $1,562 per acre. I think I'll offer 1K per acre and see where that goes

So, I recently found out a second member of my old platoon, and a friend of mine has wrote a book (1 of a 2 book deal), and also wrote an article for Soldier of Fortune magazine.

Magazine article:
https://www.sofmag.com/the-battle-of-82-easting/


As for the book, The title is Clear by Fire.

Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Fire-Search-Destroy-Thriller/dp/150110571X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440054589&sr=8-1&keywords=Clear+by+fire

Barnes and Noble:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/clear-by-fire-joshua-hood/1122541288?ean=9781501105715


I've bought it and read it already, and I recommend it (not just because I know the guy). If you like military thrillers then this is a good book for you.

There's a guy up here who has a couple of the windmills. Bought one for something like $5,xxx, turned it on and around 6-8 months later he received enough money back from the power company to buy another.

I do like watching the HMMWVs being dropped. 

Thanks Bobby, made me think of my uncle who passed last year. 82nd and later 88th as a demo expert.

It's cool view from inside the plane when they do. Some people told the new guys they had to ride in the HMMWVs when we dropped them so they can pull the slips.


I was at a charity event with the Vet based charity I'm part of, they put together a sky diving event and there was an WW2 vet, who was one of the parachute Marines in the Pacific, one did a combat jump in Korea. Since you're uncle was 82nd, you ever go to All American week? If not you might enjoy it, see all the units, jumps, competitions, BBQ, all the old Vets come back.

550 cord and 100MPH tape and the brush hog would've been good as new. Assuming you changed your socks, took a knee, drank water and took a motrin, then placed a PT belt around the bucket, then all would be in balance once again.

I wonder how the discussion went the first time they tossed a tank out of a plane? LoL

2. No way man, it's too heavy

1. Don't be scared.

2. Good point.

And for awhile there was a tank in the U.S. inventory that was air-droppable. The 82nd had it for awhile then it went away. M551 Sheridan, might have even been PRE- Don..

Yea that's right 75 years ago the U.S. Army officially decided that jumping from a plane was a good idea, after a platoon of volunteers decided to run with it and jump out of a plane, and in doing so started the ground work for the legion of badasses to follow.

You just made up my mind, I'm getting a pair...for the girlies

They won't stay very long being uncomfortable ;-))

If they are the same as I looked at then the girlies might not be even able to get into the bottom bunk. The boys would have a problem. I'm running by Cabela's today after running errands, so I'll check them out and get you some different views of them.

As for uncomfortable, anything can be used as a bed if you're tired enough. Say after a long day of brush hoggin on the farm, hauling logs, splitting logs. Have the ladies even gone out to the farm yet?

Good find there airborne. I have been looking for a sturdier survival knife for the BOB. I have some decent ones but the versions they strap to an aviators vest is usually a tad smaller and lighter than I like.
