When ground troops are pinned down, who you gonna call? The flyboys, that's right.

The Blackhawk drivers who flew MEDIVAC I like, because those guys would fly anywhere, anytime and didn't know how to say "no" (not like the friggin' Dutch) but I don't want an American with something that goes "bang" flying anywhere near me.

So I took a few weeks of vacation from work. Apart from a few days backpacking I have spent every day on the bike or running, and lifting in the gym. I got in 340 miles on the bike with at least one more ride planned before I go back to work on Thursday. Considering I've ridden maybe 100 miles in the last 2 years I would say the addiction is back. Feels good man.

I was at the DSM Shootout this weekend. Where were you?
Marco wanted me to come help work the Magnus booth... but me and Bushnuts don't get along so well these days. I'm persona non grata in Norwalk. And it's not like anybody remembers who I am anyway.
He's Navy.
Does he drive a Miata perchance?
Are you sure you don't play on the same team?

The single most manly, and great thing a man can do. To have a beard is to be a true man. If you have a beard, show it off proudly, and enjoy the satisfaction of the envy in the eyes of people around you who don't have beards. If you don't have a beard, grow one. If you cant grow one and your not past puberty yet, hold out my young friend, your time will come. If you don't have a beard and your past puberty, go get that sex change you know you need.
True men that had beards: Jesus, Abe Lincoln, Paul Bunyan, Billy Mays, Jim Henson, George Washington Carver, Zach Galifianakis, Bill Murray, Macho Man Randy Savage, and many more

Are you not paying attention? My coverage exceeds what the banks require, anyway. Again, the car is not the important part.

correct
I was just happy to Shep make a some passes in the old car. That dude is such a legend. Norwalk is only like 45min away for me. This is about the only event I try to go to every year. I call the "Shootout" the "Festival of Catastrophic Drivetran Failure". I'm a bit of a critic I guess. It's still a good time. 4 of the Quick 16 qualifiers broke, in typical dsm fashion before they ever made it to the starting line. The track crew always gets a workout at the Shootout.
It's pretty cool. I like wagons for the most part.

So put some studded snow tires on those rims for the 1st Annual Mt. Doom Winter Hill Climb, and then get aftermarket rims for it. You'll find something that makes you forget those VW upgraded factory rims in no time.
