Holy **** dude!

I was there, our company co-hosts the thing. I went out to Wild Bill's house Saturday for a shoot, we detonated some binary charges and shot a bunch of tracers.

By the by, how about adding a tech event ? I need to replace the nosecone on my possum killer, and we could combine that with a spray-over of the primer. Mark/Marc/Dave- anyone care to donate the front bumper cover & paint? I have the gun!

Daniel,
We thats cool, I was on the other end from the 50 BMG with Wild Bill. I met him through a freind of mine who sells AR-15 stuff. I printed Bills business card for him this year. What a small world of Cars and big guns we live in.

I think the lead car in the fun drive should have a 50 caliber mounted out the sun roof to clear the way for the rest of us. Scenes of Mad Max are coming to mind.

Donald,
What color? :thumbsup
Don and the Browning, M2 (or worse), HB, caliber .50, Ma Duece crowd.
Love that gun but having abused targets in Hoenfeld, Graf', Hood, Bliss, Campbell, Schofield, the Big Island, Panama, Knox, Stewart, A. P. Hill,
Thailand, ad naseum from a variety of mounts (no quad mounts) I can attest the fact that helicopters -exception; CH/AH -47- and light vehicles make a sorry platform for that particular bullet launcher.
Turret rings, dual purpose, Cal .30/.50 mounted to the venerable M35 series
-2 1/2 ton, 6x6- and M54 series -5 ton, 6x6- trucks faired pretty well when fired stationary to the front but would still rock on the suspension to the point where you wondered if the brakes were set. Fired stationary to the left or right
and you discover the origins of the term 'rock and roll'.
I fear a sHARk, for all of it's attributes would not last long structurally as a 735 grain(?) launcher platform.

I'll take the ominous silence as a deficit of enthusiasm for underwriting the replacement of my nose cone; shame! (sigh)
Roger- how are ya'll set for volunteers? I might be able to find one if you need it.

There are polite words, those that are used to cherish and succor the bounds of friendship and devotion with ones of like minds and spirits whose kind thoughts and best wishes support and sustain one in times of distress, self-doubt and dark forebodings about the future, and about ones choice of automotive mechanic... and then there are the words that apply to a bunch of f*%`ing (alien Raider) c^nts in near-yankeeland who delight and relish in the misery and continued bedevilment, torment and abuse of deserving yet misunderstood and patient poor beknighted b@z%erdz whose only wish is relief from the pain of driving a broken-down Tahoe.
Thank you for the thoughts, and hope you had a ptomanic Thanksgiving.

P.S. Although the car was (theoretically) delivered with the snot cone last week, the latest is end of next week and thank you for asking

now where is the hyper-extended middle finger smiley-face?
by Christmas, Inshalah and Chuck, one hell of a memory to remember how much fun this has been!
