  1. Was working grave shift during a really sucky rain storm. Had just finished fueling the 4th and final plane for the next days flyers. Disconnected the fuel truck, wound up the hose, ran over and shut off the external power unit and ran underneath the plane...right into the antenna underneath the plane. I am 6'6" tall and have ducked underneath the plane plenty of times (almost a requirement). Two things I had not thought about just before I got my concussion that night....

    1) I just finished putting 150,000 lbs of fuel on the plane, so it was obviously lower

    2) I was raining out so I didnt have that great of visibility with the hood up on my gortex

    Left a nice triangular scrape on my head and knocked myself to the ground. I stood up afterwards and realized my retardedness and put my hand on my head...which lead to more pain since it was raw and bleeding a decent bit...Twas also my first aircraft "bite" so the next day I was kinda proud :P as sick as that sounds. But if you are in any sort of a mechanical job....you know...its not a matter of "IF" but "WHEN" its going to happen lol...and that in a nutshell is my first mishap. I am sure I could make you fall asleep with more, but I am sure this will suffice ;)

  2. Gotten a few text messages and emails from friends saying thank you....so I think I am gonna surprise a few of them with a tour of the planes that I work on....Armed Forces Day i think to my cousin who was in Iraq and Afghanistan and the thousands of fellow service men and women still over there and all over the world and pray that they all get home alive....

    To everyone here on the Pub and everyone else who keep our military men and women in their minds and prayers I say Thank You...Thank you for your support, Thank You for everything you do. From care packages, to simple "Thank You's" to someone in uniform passing by. It means a lot to me and I am sure to every other service member. So again I say Thank You!

    Happy Armed Forces Day!!!

  3. This one had me rolling on the floor for a bit.....

    2 Doctors are lying in bed after sex. The man turned over and said "You must be an OBGYN because you can work it!!" to which she replied "You must be an Anesthesiologist because I didn't feel a damn thing!!"

  4. Awesome pictures!! Really want to go for next year..still picking up steam this year just doing local events for now...next year with some vacation time saved for work and a better kit I am gonna plan on getting to as many of these as possible...Looks like sooooo much fun, and again great pictures by everyone!!

  5. I just use a string of leather tied to the tankards handle, pull the looped string up behind the belt and then feed the tankard through the loop. Let it hang from your belt. This was the cheapest and quickest way IMO to hang from your belt. Although you should not have any reason to put it down unless you have arms in hand or asleep :rolleyes:

  6. Sadly enough I will not be able to attend this event this year because I will be working and Uncle Sam wont give me the day off. I really wish I could go and meet all of you in person. I know I dont speak much on here but I am on quite a bit..learning ALOT. I also would love to take a gander at some of the vendor stuff, especially your flintlocks Callenish. I am in the market for one but havent gotten around to getting one yet. Hopefully before PiP (all going well I should be there) I will have one and a good idea on how to fire one (shoot all the time...just not flintlocks). Well I hope the weather fairs well for all of you and you all have a blast. I'll make sure to drink a pint for you all (I dont know about 1 for 1...that could hurt :rolleyes: )

  7. That was a good one!! Gonna have to remember that!!!

    RedJessi- I am jealous, I havent been home in years now...I used to go every summer with the parents until I was about 16...I should go back more often considering 3/4 of my family still lives there and I was born there B) !!!!
