The Corbin is so much better than the stock seat on my Road King Classic. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I bought a factory remanufactured O470L engine about 12mos ago. If I remember right it was over 20,000. Don't have the figures as I'm at work. I can be more specific when I get home in a day. You must exchange the old engine core. Also had the prop overhauled. For 40,000 you might find an older one like mine (57) with some good time left in trade-a-plane. There are several advertisements for Teledyne Continental in tap also. A top overhaul is a different story. The engine is not zero timed like the factory remaufactured engine. Hope this helps.

When management built our new heliport in Port Fourchon, South Louisiana, the shit gas separator (sewage treatment machine) was constructed very close to the living quarters. When there is no wind or when the wind is from the west, guess what it smells like on the porch? After more than a year of complaining, it is finally going to be abandoned and a new one built further away from the living quarters. 14 days of this shit and I'm ready to go home. Helicopter pilots have been described like seagulls: all we do is sit, shit, eat, squawk, and fly when rocks are thrown at us. None of this is true of course.

Quote1/ It seems pretty obvious that the kidnappers did not know who the journalists were at first, then came up with the headscarf banissue as a revendication to justify the kidnapping......... Killing these guys will be bad BR if it matters to these assholes. Yasser Arafat and the head of the Grand Mosque in Paris are among numerous Mulsims saying they should be released.

My cousin had a friend who was stopped for speeding in Florida. Knowing she would loose her license with one more ticket, she smiled and said, "Officer I know you stopped me because you want to sell me a ticket to the policemen's ball." Without thinking, the officer said, "Mam, I work for the highway patrol. We don't have balls." After realizing what he had said, he turned around, got into his patrol car and left.

According to the BBC news, "France has said it will not drop a law banning Muslim headscarves in state schools, despite demands by militants holding two French journalists in Iraq."

I hope the people who support profiling consider what might have happened had they paid less attention to an elderly, doddering nerd because he wasn't an Arab male age 18-40. An old guy even with supposed mental disabilities might have trouble with this one no matter how good his lawer is. Maybe he just wants to go back home to prision. Remember, we are at war.

It had nothing to do with her physical appearance, but it did bother me when Saturday Night Live made fun of Betty Ford over her alcohol problems. I never saw the comedy in that. We Americans don't hold our first family in reverence like the Brits hold their queen (although I heard a few QE2 jokes working for a Brit company and they ripped the rest of the royal family). It's tasteless, but it is a fact that we men, especially in a group, make fun of these people and their physical appearance. I also wonder if women do the same thing a little more discrete.

Never saw the Air Force rules before Too funny, but I think you forgot "bring bombs"...... Yes, bring bombs. Just don't forget to build the club and the golf course before the airstrip. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

In addition to ammo in your pockets, I thought you might find this interesting. Came in old email. Subject: Airborne and Air Force Rules for Gunfighting Airborne (Paratroopers) Rules for Gunfighting 1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. 2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive. 3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss. 4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly. 5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement preferred.) 6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun. 7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived. 8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running. 9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. 9.5. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pees in the flintlock of your musket. 10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you with it because it is empty. 11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you loose. 12. Have a plan. 13.Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work. 14. Use cover and concealment as much as possible. 15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours. 16. Don't drop your guard. 17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. 18. Watch their hands. Hands kill (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands in sight. 19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH,quickly ENOUGH. 20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get. 21. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet. 22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one. 23. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. 24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4". Air Force Rules for Gunfighting 1. Get in the air. 2. Bring Paratroopers. 3. Drink Coffee.

Where did you find this little piece of information. I spent 37 months and 11 day in RVN. I never saw this happen. I'm sure it happened in some REMF outfit once in a while. That's hardly very common. Ummm - I didn't write that, tunaplanet did. My apology. I guess tunaplanet must have been in a different unit in Vietnam. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

. and honestly, mostly out of curiosity -- application for what kind of work? And how much does it pay. In case the dental materials job doesn't work out. A good example of a company is Global Santa Fe. Lots of different jobs. http://www.gsdrill.com/employ/framer/introfr.htm/ Most of the people get an 80 hour week including overtime working 12hrs on 12hrs off. You must pass a thorough physical and drug test to get hired. Concerning the pilot license... On one of the other threads they were talking about a "sports" license which only required a drivers license? If you have no limitations on your DL apparently you can fly. Check out one of the FAA websites for pain meds. Got to go. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Soilman, In no way was I trying to infer that people with physical limitations don't know how to make sacrifices. Yes, you would have to be in physical shape to work offshore. They require physicals. Some of these guys work 7 days on and 7 days off. Some do 14 and 14 or 21 and 21 so you probably would not get to see a doctor for a few days although they have a medic onboard. Most of the guys offshore do put on the weight because of the type and amount served (they have ice cream machines too). Some of the larger rigs or drill ship have international crews so there is variety in the meals. Friday is seafood day in the Gulf of Mexico (too much is fried). I fly helicopters offshore out to these cool places. Most of the old guys like me are in an age group of people who are fighting to keep their medicals. Several have had heart problems. One guy had prostrate cancer, and one guy is fighting diabetes. All of these guys came back to fly with the exception of one,and he's waiting on the FAA. Most of us served in Vietnam and most will be retiring within a few years of each other (some have died in accidents along the way). I just turned 60, 5'5'' weigh 130 can't keep it on, maybe a tapeworm. Should I get an application from one of the rigs for you? I think you would work out just fine.
