  1. that's just wrong. like eating and sitting. Sitting is reserved for one process.

    I've done enough eating while standing in the army. I'll always sit to eat anymore.

    If you have that much trouble, just brush your teeth and pee in the shower. Then it won't matter where you aim. :D

  2. One day while America is at the Mall it will realize its also at War.

    Until these issues get some real treatment/outreach we will all be touched by this type of loss.

    I do see efforts from the VA and all the Branches. Though the problem I see lies within the nature of man. We must carry our inner demons with silence and strength.

    Some days the demons win.

    It is the Soldier, not the minister

    Who has given us freedom of religion.

    It is the Soldier, not the reporter

    Who has given us freedom of the press.

    It is the Soldier, not the poet

    Who has given us freedom of speech.

    It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer

    Who has given us freedom to protest.

    It is the Soldier, not the lawyer

    Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

    It is the Soldier, not the politician

    Who has given us the right to vote.

    It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,

    Who serves beneath the flag,

    And whose coffin is draped by the flag,

    Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

    Sonofabitch. My bike is #10?!?! I never thought I'd see it on a top stolen list.

  7. I only have a couple things from HF and they don't get used very often. Everything else I own is Craftsman, Snap-on and Mac, oh and a Matco 1/2" impact. I started off with a Craftsman mechanics set and now it is slowly being replaced by Snap-on and Mac.

    There are some stuff I like from HF, mostly disposable items like wire brushes. But something like a torque wrench would see too much use so I'd rather spend the extra cash for a better quality one. Although I do have a pneumatic brake bleeder that was like $30 that works pretty well.
