All I get to see are 'contractors' and city engineers now. Quality craftsmanship is not in their lexicon. It is hard for them to use inferior materials since that is what they start with.
Just as a point of information for folks, palms are not trees. Taxonomically, palms are members of the grass family.
You guys can keep your sandbox, at least back in my days as grunt in the jungle and the rice paddies you didn't have to go thirsty. I apreciate your sacrifices folks.
John, what's a wing wiper like you doing over there. Aren't you a bit long in the tooth for the games?

hi Dave, Way to mess up a good thread with the facts about palm trees or grasses.
You're right I'm probably getting a bit old for this stuff. Still don't need a walker to get into the cockpit. I do wave to Dave as I fly over his location from about FL250. Nice thing is when I do finally retire, I'll get Social Security at the same time. I'll probably need both checks as I'm building up a lot of unmet demand for tools that won't be satisfied for another few months.
Some of the other guys in the Det are from NH. Great folks.
take care,
John
I think that the reason that there are no woodworkers in Iraq (Jameel's posts not withstanding) is because almost all of the wood is probably in teeeeny tiny pieces.....................
