    He went through tiger school, he was an LRRP long range reconnaissance patrol . To be precise. Dad used to joke that there were no "airborne" rangers in Vietnam because there was nowhere to make a clean landing as a parachutist. It was all sliding down rope or just jumping from a helicopter...

    I work as an apprentice in construction for the 3 years that I have been here since August 1st 2017. 12 months later my dad died. I moved here to be nearer him. He left Hawaii in search of better medicine. Alas it was all for not... He had amyloidosis a rare disease that in his case was caused...

    Duely noted alturna mats were frequently used by use in Hawaii too! They're not cheap to ship there either. If we were doing a demo on a heavy fiberglass boat we would keep flat sections of the hull. Worked until they failed then we would dispose of them for free at the transfer station. Hawaii...

    I'm happy to hear that you are pleased with the Morbark 1621. On the Big Island I used to see many big red chippers in base yards given up on because of inability to eject wet chips if I recall properly. One side of the island is wet.

    Deutz are some of my favorite engines for this type of application. For a period we had trouble with their first gasketed engines and the timing belt service intervals all is better now though. Feed systems are fickle and I preferred the vertical sprung feed drums of my Vermeer 1250 over any...

    Well I'm tempted to do a re-power with a 4 cyl. Ford industrial 2.5L all cast iron lima engine (first in pinto cars then in ranger mini pu trucks)351lbs weight 74hp 123ft-lbs at 3200color. I would put a deutz diesel in it if I could find one but for $300 for a complete ford industrial on a skip ...

    OK to all you tree shade mechanics and hillbilly engineers this is where you can let your freak flag fly. 1994 Bandit 90 whose an authority?
