Should I ban him, or just fire him outright, then spread salt on his old posts?

Post by: rasimmo on June 29, 2015, 05:36:25 PM: Not MIA, I been on a camper roof. Thanks for throwing me under the bus though. I never been fired before so I reckon I get to see how that feels.

I thought I quoted his post where I was mentioned. This was my idea so don't be too hard on him.

Post by: Nate on June 29, 2015, 06:23:15 PM: I feel that I have to step in and offer a little support for don. he does after all have quite a few irons in the fire at this moment.
Title: Re: The Race of the Century...or Who's Gonna Break a Hip
Post by: Nate on June 29, 2015, 06:31:08 PM: by the way, whats wrong with a nap? sounds to me like somebody is jealous because they dont get to take naps. besides don needs his daily W.O.M.A.N. (warrant officers mandatory afternoon nap) in order to keep up with all those youngins around him.

Post by: KensAuto on June 29, 2015, 06:38:31 PM: You're growing soft Nate....the heat must be getting to you! lol

...and Don started this, I think, on my trailer thread.

...wait, it was Rasimmo! he even admits it! Off of the roof and to the dungeon !!hahahaha

I found proof:

Post by: rasimmo on June 29, 2015, 06:55:58 PM: Wow!
Nate is busy sucking up to the boss and Ken is throwing me under the bus. What kind of company am I keeping here?

I did, and frankly I was off doing other stuff when all this "Start it up business started. Well I started to get interested in getting it done, and now I want to just shove some fuel in the tank, crank it over and see what happens next. Heck might get another engine repair out of the deal. Big bore...stroker...4-valve head...twins... maybe even weld two 6BT's together just in case I ever need 3,000 ft lbs of torque!
Title: Re: The Race of the Century...or Who's Gonna Break a Hip
Post by: KensAuto on June 29, 2015, 09:06:49 PM: Haha. Now that sounds like an engine worthy of D Squared !

Post by: rasimmo on June 29, 2015, 10:29:44 PM: Detroit did that with the V71 engines. Stuck 2 V8 together to get the V16. No reason it won't work here with a little redneck ingenuity. At least it would be fun to watch.

Soldiers know how important it is to take advantage of a nap to stay fighting ready all the time!
Title: Re: The Race of the Century...or Who's Gonna Break a Hip
Post by: Nate on June 30, 2015, 10:44:01 AM: at least 45 minutes a day helps keep the mind sharp and focused.

I do appreciate a perfectly timed nap.

Post by: rasimmo on June 30, 2015, 05:45:39 PM: The perfect time for a nap is anytime. Just woke up from one myself. Man I like this recliner.

Post by: KensAuto on June 30, 2015, 06:24:40 PM: You may be a lot of things, including being old and somewhat disfigured (thought I was going to say slow didn't you?), but no one can accuse you of not being a good sport.....and that's a fact!! :)

Good sport, but not necessarily not very good at sports ;-))

You callin all those earlier power tool scars, the ones I taped up, disfigurements" I think of them as battle scars, Except the battle was against rust and not Al Qaeda!

Post by: TexasRedNeck on June 30, 2015, 08:02:34 PM: I prefer to think that if I stop moving someone will kick dirt on me. Or...its harder to hit a moving target....

Two thoughts

First having dirt kicked on ya is not necessarily a bad thing

As far as a moving target, and grunt guys check me on this, but when helicopter people would get into a firefight with haji, the runners, we called them "squirters," always got shot first.
Title: Re: The Race of the Century...or Who's Gonna Break a Hip
Post by: TexasRedNeck on June 30, 2015, 08:11:34 PM: "dirt" as in 6 feet under and people piling dirt on me.

Squirter or not, they're harder to hit when moving. Using a 20 or 30mm cannon and FLIR at a 1 miles standoff is kinda not fair....

I know of at least one place where RN will park it and relax. I have seen it with my own eyes.........;D

Post by: TexasRedNeck on July 02, 2015, 06:54:41 PM: I suggest the fall when the weather is more tolerable. Firewood, fire pit, some lawn chairs, and a nip of Old No. 7

Do it here and I will provide some KY Bourbon, and maybe some Bailey's...
