You know what- despite the face books..... we all just got too busy with made up responsibilities. I am guilty. I decided to retire because i was no longer willing to do the things the CG told me to do, and that i would have to tell my junior guys to do. That was it. Onward to more projects. If i ha...

went to the cruise in at the local church on Saturday/ https://i.postimg.cc/ph0fWc8C/20240420_163755.jpg Took the truck for a bunch of little trips around town. you can see the steering wheel is cocked to the left- https://i.postimg.cc/PvPmPbQj/20240420_191157.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/kDpQLZ7X/20240...

Been home two weeks now and have taken Shipwrecked out to stretch the legs a few times. Lots of lookie lues and thumbs up! Have about 200 miles on the engine since I rebuilt this truck. Tracks nice when I let go of steering wheel, but I am still getting an alignment on it tomorrow. I drove over to t...

I am building from scratch. I am going to build my own trailer frame, install axle and then build the camper on top. Way cheaper than paying a off the shelf camper. Plus I can customize it my way. Check out OregonTrailR on youtube. He makes some nice teardrops- i am making one similar but not at his...

HAHAH. I am about to start building a tear drop camper. (i built one in 2006). I am also going to install a trailer hitch on shipwrecked so maybe i can take it for a trip. (slickstock???)

well- randomly i have slept in for the last few days. Somehow the dogs have let me do that. I also ran into a friend of mine down the block. Said i was "amped up" which is true when i come back from deployments. There is always something to do when you were out there, and now i am home i f...

Somehow i survived the 25 years of service. it's over. I hopped on a plane the other day in Honolulu and flew back to VA and started my terminal leave. I am on leave until end of July then I will be unemployed on a fixed income. I have no solid plans. Maybe go to school. maybe apply for a GS job in ...

Checking in from Suva Fiji. Have a trip to Vanuatu , Cairns Australia, and Kwajelon at some point on this final deployment. Retirement leave (vacation) starts in 54 days. I forgot my password so I can't log in from work computer- only my cell when I have wifi service. Not sure when I can say hi agai...

I never saw a post by that guy in the 12 years ive been on here.

6 months to go still. have to get that ship to Hawaii, get it through a 3 month patrol and then I am scott free.

looking forward to moving on. it's like i know the relationship is over, but this is the time we have to "work it out" for a bit.

If you didnt catch it on facebook- i put in to retire from the Coast Guard in August 2024. which means i would go on leave in mid april and come back from honolulu and be on vacation till 1aug. With my retirement, (and any VA disability) i will find a part time job for fun, or go to college for fun....

July 21st 2023. I lost my Diesel. he was just shy of 16 years old and I was away. Thankfully my dad was able to call and be on the phone while I talked to the vet about what to do. Diesel died at 11pm. I am thankful I was able to take him for his ride in the F100 in May before I departed for Baltimo...

I did a rebuild service order through rockauto.

Lares Corporation offered the service so I shipped my steering box to them, and they sent it back. I spent like 80 shipping, but like 250 on the rebuild. That was 8 years ago.

Arctic blast come thru the area this week. I barely left the house. Merry Christmas everyone. 10 years on this forum this week. 2 ships, 3 dogs, 4 pcs transfers, 5 houses and all that with 1 slick truck ;) Yes I dressed my dogs up for Christmas. They didn't care as long as they got treats, walks, an...

Merry Christmas
