Platoons? Were you military? Diesel? Your job or interest? 2.5yo GD? Only 1?
Btw, Rvillage.com we have another thing, and RVmutants.com We are all over the place..... Welcome again Ken.....

Thanks Diane...I'm with ya on the chargers....I have enough from my old Moto's and HTC's to string a couple of pianos.

I'll check the other sites..gotta be careful so I don't get lost on this puter before I get my butt in gear and get on the rainbow.

No Service...draft number was 309 and last name begins with M, only drafting 80 out of the county/mo and I didn't enlist in '66. Got the UTMOST RESPECT for those that served or serve and I thank them every time I get a chance. Got some buddies on The WALL, visited them a few times there.

Diesel Tech was my profession for 45 yrs, save 13 as a Machinist's BR. Started at a CAT equipment dealer in WI at 18 on the track press. Learned a lot about CAT fuel systems and diesels, moved on to Macks, Peterbilts, Diamond Reos, Binders and then to the Twinkie people's fleet.

Two kids,just 1 GD, D is 31, S is 27. D is a NICU RN. S is a CPA. GD is the BEST!

But I really do applaud your doing that... I had to clean out my parents home, who had cleaned out 3 other peoples homes and kept their treasures and things that didn't sell, besides their own tendencies to be a savamapotamus, hordasaurus, or whatever else you call those folks who went through the depression era and hung onto everything, including empty margarine tubs and dead light bulbs.....

Dad was born in '98 Mom in '14...very frugal all their lives, Margarine, cool whip, salmon cans..to name a few...just in case you might need it for something...

I have numerous treasures that I have to deal with....only child...better than a fight I guess.

Only 70 more posts to go....

Who will it be....

Will HerbnBarb multi-post their way to the number....

Will flaggship1 present us an update on the FT Countdown....

Will JudyH have something to say....

Perhaps CampDaven will provide a ponderance of epic proportions....

Then there is Wayne M -- Need anyone say more....

Sick Twisted Mutants everywhere will be waiting with bacon breath to find out who will be the one...

I expect it will be quite a show!!!!

Later

Interesting Ken..... My DH is retired military, but we met online 13 years ago.... I have 2 sons, both MD, and they have given me 5 grands in 5 years... Thank goodness i am retired teacher.... DH had problems with his, so we dont see them... That is sad....

But glad to see you on here.....

Diane is the original FTSFM........... (Fast Talking Sliding Finger Mutant, #64) and is retired, duh!

66 more posts to go. With this group...that should only take just over a minute.

I can't keep up to you guys. I'm preoccupied trying to get my Hydro Hot System working right.

Setting here trying to decide which bay should house the LPs, 8 tracks and VHS tapes.

Morming Muties

I can't handle the pressure, I say! Last time I got close to "the prize", it was snapped up while I was about to hit "enter". Sulked for days. 😆

Now I may have to be away from the computer for a few hours, and I'm certain all I'll see when I get back is the aftermath of the victory parade. Confetti on the floor, empty champaign bottles laying around ......

BTW, just what is the prize this time?
