Had my Navy son Jared and college daughter Kaitlyn throw one dart each, closest to the bullseye, to see who would draw the name for the drawing. She got him by 1/2”...so Kaitlyn draws the name out of the coffee can...and the winner is... @Philbert

Congrats to Philbert. PM me at some point your addy info and I’ll get the sets sent to you at after the first of year.

Again, Merry Christmas gents!

Need you folks ideas about two absolute, official, real-deal United States Marine Corps field jackets with button-in liners, neck collars have zip-out hoods, from back in my Corps days starting in the mid-80’s. (These ain’t no second hand chicken chit, spin-off crap sold at your local Saigon Sam’s or in on-line stores or magazines). I never wore these, I went in the Corps a large, left the Corps a XXL. I simply ended up with a bunch of field jackets with liners of various sizes, Kevlar helmets, ALICE Packs, 782 gear, etc, etc (wink wink...Supply connections).

Anyhoo, back story done...I have two. One is a Small/Regular, one is a Medium/Short (the latter chart size of the two sizes dictates arm length). Body’s are all different and you get all common chest sizes with these field jackets but with different arm lengths (hence the second part of the size designation per each).

I know most of us left these sizes many, many yrs ago...but may do damn fine for someone’s son/daughter. They’re the USMC real deal! I don’t know to do another raffle???...you folks give me your input?? Only thing I ask is the recipients pay shipping on these...and that’ll probably not be much, I figure $15 at the most. We’ll figure that out later.

Give me your thoughts guys how to do this?? I’ve toted these things for years, many years...and if someone can benefit from them, or their children, let’s do this!

Oil fed runaways are always a feat! But they usually don't end well. Only way to stop em is choke the air inlet down. Sometime you just can't get it chocked down fast enough.

Had too choke down s 2 stroke outboard once that i reved on muffs. Learned that lesson personally, even though i was warned and read about not doing that on forums. Caught it in time, thinking fast enough. No harm done.

Very generous of you, but clothing can be tricky. Even when sizes are given.

I had a few pair of like-new BDU pants that were never going to fit me again. Took them to one of my disaster volunteer events and started offering them to folks who they might fit, and who could try them on.

Felt a little more personal than dropping them off at Goodwill.

Well when it happened all I wanted to do was get my stuff and get the hell out of the truck. Engine parts can go flying or the truck could catch on fire. I wanted to get away
