I woke up,
I lifted my arms,
I moved my knees,
I turned my neck....
Everything made the same noise:
'CrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaccccK!'

....I came to a conclusion:
I am not old,
I am crispy!!!
=

I wish I did not relate to this...but unfortunately I do. I used to make fun of my mother when she moaned and groaned when she was getting up in the morning....but now I totally understand.

They say there are 650 - 800 muscles in the body and about 360 joints - I find new ones or I should say ones I have not used in a while everyday as I get older. LOL...

So what do you use / how do you put holes in your carto's for use in a tank? Here's my setup using an 1/8 drill bit. I primarily drip, but there's just times when a tank is more convenient.

Yep Semi I know the weather in Korea very well. Was Kunsan an Airbase? I know we had the main radar site in South Korea burn down on New Years day in 1961 and we had to go fix all the telephone lines feeding it and the wind blowing off the Yellow Sea or whatever it's name is, was about as cold of wind as I've ever experienced including being on a fishing boat in Siberia in Jan. I could only stay up on a telephone pole for about ten minutes at a time before my hands and feet were numb. Ah you bring back memories Semi. I haven't thought much about Korea in a while. It sure has changed since I was there in 60 and 61.:2cool:

Oh wow tx that's great, my mother-in-law is the same age. I haven't tried Skype but need to figure it out since we have kids and grandkids from coast to coast.

You really should download Skype. It is awesome, free, and easy to use. My Momma lives in Texas and I bought her a laptop a couple of years ago and she was able to use it by herself until she had a stroke about a year ago. We would visit an hour or two at a time and it is just like being in the house with her. I can only talk on a phone for a few minutes but on skype I can visit with family for hours.

The last time I was there was 89 and quite a few people have told me I would not recognize it today if I went back - so I am sure you would be lost. They kind of screwed up their economy or something like that and overspent on infrastructure - it is very expensive now.

And Yes - Kunsan was an Air Force Base. I have also been to Taegu, Suwon, Yongsang, Uijeongbu, and Osan... Three different tours. Out of my 23 years in the military I spent 13 yrs in the Pacific (Japan, Korea, Philippines, Thailand, and such)...
