Quoted: Was your second ride the Nimitz cause you wanted something more compact with a shorter turning radius? View Quote Oh but what a MASSIVE back seat! I would flip the air filter cover upside-down to let more air in. When you stomped on it it would howl as the 455 sucked air and gas as fast as possible. There were times I forgot to flip the cover back right once I got home and dad lit the 455 up on the on ramp with the car pool more than once. He also borrowed my ‘73 Barracuda once to drive them into work and had a big ole’ smile when he brought it back. |

Quoted: He did a lot of defense shit for Rockwell Collins and later Teradyne. He was supposed to die on 9/11 but swapped doping a presentation with a coworker on flight 11 who did die. He was a great uncle and godfather. Mentally he's been gone for a few years.

View Quote That's how they treat me when I go then they say "do you want it for free" when I'm in uniform. WTF? I pay my way. I got a weird look the other day when I ordered 10 sandwiches for everyone on the boat. |

My uncle is almost 70, and I learned a lot about being a good uncle from him. I must be doing something right because my nephews are learning investing at 13 and 15 and eventually they'll get taught the ways of the black rifle. |

Quoted: I am sorry for your loss. View Quote Thanks! Funny story, seemed he always ended up riding the in back of any station wagon, van, or SUV whenever we had get togethers. I don't mean the back seat either. He also raised 3 great kids. A fourth died of SIDs. Married to one woman his whole life. The kind of man you want to be like. |

Quoted: I agree, 100%, just like police 90% of the staff are good to go. But that other few make things hard. Whether its a vendetta or a personal cause they support that became unpopular and they clung to the past. I've only seen one staff member completely melt down which lead to an epic night on here. View Quote I advocated for a formal training system and was told someone else was going to do that … years later nothing …. I was one of the first 10-20 moderators back when the board had 8 sub-boards … maybe a dozen. We knew each other and were pretty “even” in the application of the five or ten rules we had. We had pretty routine come-to-Jesus treads in the moderator and staff forums. Ed Jr. playing the role of Jesus, it was “his” board and we followed his lead. When there was a divided opinion on what to do it was Ed’s guidance, sometimes Ed Senior’s and Juan’s too. But Ed largely set the ‘flavor’ of moderation. Following his passing the board was sold to Brownells for control and as to be expected, things changed. The conduct code is now many times the size of the old one … |
