Half horse, half alligator, with a touch of snapping turtle and I can out run, out spit, out cuss, out shoot, out fight, out kick, out drink, WELL I USED TO>>...
Most of my Peugeot cronies are singing "Where have all the flowers gone". There are only a very few left.

In my military career, 6 campaigns in Vietnam, 14 years in Europe, the rest all over the world, the last 4 years as Generals Assistant (Agitator), go out and stir up a stink (find bad equipment), then fix it. Replaced 2 O6's and an O5 (I carried the Gen's stick). I've been around this world three (3) times, touched every continent and been in most countries. I've seen most, heard most and done most (I just didn't get caught).

When I say I've seen, heard and done most, believe it. Thru-out my life I have flown fixed and rotary wing aircraft, jumped in combat, undercover work (spy) in Germany, rebuilt guns, worked on missiles, radar's, air cushion vehicles, amphibian vehicles, tanks, trucks, rode bulls in a rodeo, fixed antique clocks, rebuilt wood and over stuffed furniture, built a house from poring the foundation, wiring, plumbing, flooring, walls, painting, fixed TV's, I could go on all night and still not cover most of it, I even built the computer I am talking to you on. It's an AMD 1GHz, 512MB memory, 40GB HD, 4X burner, 2X CDROM, all on a Tyan S 2390 motherboard.
So believe it.
