All the cable channels have been reporting it for about the last 15 minutes.

That's no way to treat our flag. Come on guys.
Next you'll be saying it's okay to burn one. Nowhere in the article(s) about this does it say why the town refused his liquor license, so I'm not jumping on the bandwagon without the facts. Either way, this was completely inappropriate. Add this guy to the wall of shame. http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/wallofshame.htm

I have a wrench for removing that panel that I modified on the grinder to make it thinner so it'll fit easily between the rocker and access panel.

Everyone with a C4 goes through this.
If it weren't for the digital temperature readout, nobody would ever give it a second thought because on a dial gauge it would just show in the normal range even though the temps were fluctuating between 190-228*. I also did the leaf/trash removal.

My advise is to save up for the Bilsteins.
It's not like you can't wait an extra couples months to replace your shocks. You'll be glad you did. Mark

Hooters Ocean City, MD. Crappy cell phone pics, but you get the idea.
Cristy was spectacular from head to toe. These really don't do her justice. 1 with me and one with my 20 year old. I'll upload car pics from my camera later.

I agree that this has always been the rule-of-thumb and is perfectly acceptable. However, I've never had any sbc or sbf for that matter that was less than 20-22 lbs of pressure on a mechanical gauge at operating temperature idle.

What kind of FI system are you talking about?
Or if you're not sure, what did it come out of? Can't really give you an answer without knowing. What is your friend's idea of "complete"? Mark

It's okay. I'm allowed to mix and match. Yes, that's carpet on the floor.

I've done Carlisle a couple times before, but that's just for the day since I'm only an hour and a half away if I leave from our Frederick house.
All new belts, hoses, gear and tranny lube, antifreeze and Mobil1. Should be good to go. Weather looks good after 12 days of rain. Shouldn't need the a/c. I'll post some pics when I get back. Here's one from last year when we only went down for the weekend. Really cool seeing 3000+ pre '77 cars. Mark

A lot of that would be funnier if it wasn't so true.

There's a new book coming out about some of this country's best SpecOps guys, and a letter I wrote back in 2002 was included. I stumbled across it by accident while I was reading it before publication.
Sorry for the uneven spacing, but that's how it came out of the .pdf format. You can also go here http://www.arrowmaker.com/download/CC ... S%20-%20CHAPTER%206.1.pdf and go to p. 239-240 to read it as it appears in the book. My letter follows the blow-by-blow of the battle. Mark THE BATTLE OF ROBERTS RIDGE March 4, 2002 - Takhur Ghar Mountain, Afghanistan In the early morning of 4 March, an MH-47, call sign Razor 03, approached Takhur Ghar Mountain, preparing to deploy a joint special operations team. The helicopter was met with a fusillade of enemy fire as it prepared to land. The pilot immediately departed the helicopter landing zone (HLZ) despite a crippling blow from an RPG. In the chaos, US Navy SEAL Petty Officer 1st class Neil Roberts fell out of the helicopter. With the controls freezing up, it was all the pilot could do to limp North and put the helicopter down in an area about 7 kilometers away out of immediate danger. Once on the ground, Combat Controller TSgt John Chapman rapidly established communications with an AC-130 gunship to ensure their area was secure. He then directed the AC-130 gunship to fly over the initial insertion point to search for his missing teammate. He quickly coordinated the movement of his team and aircrew from their emergency landing area, thus limiting exposure to enemy attack. Sergeant Chapman, and his team, volunteered to mount a rescue mission, back into the enemy hornets nest where PO-1 Roberts had fallen. The team reinserted and almost immediately made contact with the enemy. Sergeant Chapman immediately advanced toward the fortified position, from where they last taken fire; he dispatched two of the enemy with his M-4. Simultaneously, he and his team came under withering fire from three different directions. From close range and with minimal cover, Sergeant Chapman engaged a well-dug-in heavy machine-gun position; allowing his team time to take cover and provide flanking fire. While engaging this heavy machine gun, he was mortally wounded. TSgt John Chapman was the first CCT combat death since Vietnam; he died with his weapon in his hand, providing covering fire in an effort to save his teammates lives. A quick reaction force (QRF) was inserted to rescue the SEALs and eliminate the enemy. One of the QRFs insertion helicopters was hit with another RPG and amazingly was able to land safely, if the middle of a firefight can be considered safe. Enemy troops were less than 20 meters from where the helicopter came to rest. SSgt Gabe Brown was the combat controller attached to the QRF. For the next 15 hours, he directed close air support in a series of danger close calls that can be only described as heroic. A senior Air Force pilot said, It was the most incredible close-in close air support operations that Ive ever seen. On that day in March, seven brave Americans died on Roberts Ridge. But countless others were saved by SSgt Browns actions. As of September 2002, Combat Control, in Afghanistan, had controlled the delivery of more than 2 million pounds of CAS-ordnance. Although steel on target is a more direct and visceral methods to fight the war on terrorism, all the skills of a combat controller are needed to win. DZ/LZ surveying, CSAR, and especially ATC were essential to combat operations in Afghanistan. March 10, 2002 WE TOASTED CHAPPY; THEN DRANK HIS BEER an email vignette from Mark J. Hughes, SrA, Pope CCT, 1981-1985 Guys Just got back from the Chapman funeral in PA yesterday. The town really treated us with a great deal of respect and dignity. They closed off streets and the whole 9 yards. Tons of media coverage, and there were American Flags everywhere. All of the services were quite moving and tastefully carried out. I guess the family wanted the casket open to show that war is hell, and to let us all say a proper farewell. No sugar coating the harsh reality of what we do (or did). Considering what hed been through, I guess he looked pretty good. Not much like himself though. Id never met Val before Monday night, but she seems like a great lady, and Combat Controllers wife. What a tragedy. About 3/4 of the way through the second viewing, Don Robinson, Randy Blythe, and 15 or so of us walked down the street to one of the local bars, with a picture collage of Chappy in tow that one of the other guys brought along from the funeral home. We set it up on the bar and bought him a beer in absentia, which we placed in front of the photo. When it was time to leave, we toasted him, and then passed Chappys beer all around and everyone took a drink until it was gone. Oh, well. CCTers have never been known for our good hygiene practices. Too bad Jeff Hitchcock didnt arrive until later that night with Col. Holmes. It just wasnt the same for me without him there. It would have been nice if John Scimeca could have made it too. Has it really been over 20 years since CCS? Anyway Later, I bought out the bar for everyone back at the hotel after the wake, and it wasnt over until about 2am. It was nice to meet Lt. Col. Rodriguez, and many others over a couple beers. There must have been more than a few headaches the morning of the funeral and burial to be sure. We had those two girls behind the bar hopping. The USAF sent one of its official honor guard units for the burial, and they were flawless. Three A-10s did a fly-by to wrap-up the graveside service. In 20 years, Ive never seen so many active duty CCTs in one place before. As out-of-place as I must have looked to outsiders with my long hair, beard, and diamond earring, I was seated and or standing in formation right in the middle of that sea of blue and scarlet, and feeling the warm embrace of our Brotherhood. For those moments, we were all the same. The reception afterwards in the basement of the church had some excellent home cooked food that was actually brought to the tables instead of the usual buffet thing. I just wanted to post this for you guys that couldnt make it, so consider yourselves filled-in. As somber an occasion as this obviously was, it was still great to see a lot of old friends and make some new ones of the young kids. Im glad I took the time to go, and hope its a good long time before we have to do anything like this again. Mark Hughes, CCA LM-746
