I like the cut of your jib sir. Can't ever let anyone disrespect you, or your family.
Thanks. There's some weird memories locked in my brain. Just a picture of a duece, so much forgotten, comes flooding back.

I wish I could mentor younger soldiers to take military discipline seriously. Becuase when it's not taken seriously, the outcome could maime or kill a soldier quicker than the enemy.

Fighting within the ranks is so stupid.
3 one year tours in the Iraq war, lots to reflect on. It happens all the time. Whether I want to or not. I'm haunted to the very core of my spirit by that war.

The complexity and risk of cutting timber brings me peace. It gives my mind something healthy to focus on, and the labor helps me sleep. Going from war to cutting, it's a good transition.

My apologies this rant has nothing to do with grease monkey sht, so here's a 4500 that has to haul wood soon:

Rant all you want. I believe you've earned that.

I had been using one of my old work laptops to run the Holley software. It had a battery life of maybe 4 minutes. It up and went to the black screen of death last night...
So, looks like I'll be heading over to Best Buy on my lunch hour to buy their cheapest laptop that runs on Windows. They have HP Chromebooks on sale for $130 but the Holley stuff won't work on Chrome OS...

I can get a new Lenovo for $180 today.
I could probably get something cheaper from there, but could end up in the same boat I'm in now in a short period of time.
I'd rather get a refurbished computer with just an operating system installed than a new computer with a gob of bullchit in it. Done it both ways....
