What does it say about me that I really want that square-body Chevy pickup he's leaning on?

Mine was flat black (I spray painted it) with a blue sparkle banana seat! I put the banana seat on there because it had more surface area to land on! I had a few mishaps with the regular BMX seat....

Well, after my balls quit hurting, yes.

That would be an A-1 Lucky SOB.

Ditto.

I used to have a neighbor (at my old house many years back) I would have happily done that to. Unfortunately, it likely would not have been a joke. That neighbor is gone now - the price of that lifestyle.

Ya spose one of his buddies did that as a joke? I might....

Please do. Maybe he'll rip a hole in Putin's arse.

I'm in Central WA, near Yakima. Daughter goes to EWU in Cheney, so we spend a lot of time over that way.

Another Washingtonian! I live on the "right" side of the state. 😉 It's dry as popcorn fart over here.

Not to mention disgusting....

A lot of these make me laugh, but I should not have looked at this while at work. I flat lost it and the whole office could hear me giggling!!

To bad you can't suddenly get it spinning. Might make for a pretty funny video!

Slight correction on myself - the civilian ones are not surplus, but they are built by the same company (Oshkosh Defense) for the civilian market. https://oshkoshdefense.com/vehicles/aircraft-rescue-fire-fighting-arff/ An interesting subject, and very cool trucks!!

Ya but those guys are crazy --- oh wait, I'm one of those guys now. Damn.

We use those in the civilian world, too, but they are called ARFF trucks (Airborne Rescue & Fire Fighting). In fact, a lot of civilian ones are surplus military. We don't get to call our stuff "tactical" because no one is shooting at us...usually.😁

My mind is not made up yet.

Amen.

That is one mellow dog!

Well, to be truthful, Ernie's stash is a 4.5 hrs north from San Marcos, but to a Texan, that's like a quick run to the hardware store! In Texas, you can drive for 12 hours, and still be in the same state.

Just ordered some stuff before the stampede starts. Wish I could afford to grab more spares. Hell, I wish I could just buy the business from him.

He would need his own room for his stash if he were a vendor.... I love that part of Texas, but I honestly don't know if I can handle that place in August. The last time I was in that part of TX, it was June, and San Antonio was like walking on the sun.

Just curious, but I noticed that the GWH kit decals do not appear to include the Chinese Nationalist AF roundels. That seems odd to me - any idea why? Is that a political statement by the Chicoms?

I hear that. I have to do that 3 or 4 times a day on the weekends. I sweat through everything I own, whether I'm working at home, or fighting a wildfire. Did the latter Saturday afternoon, and had to take a shower when I got back. My wife won't even let me bring those clothes in the house. I have to strip on the back patio and let them dry in the 100 deg (F) sun for a few hours before I can wash them!! And a structure fire is something completely different. I have to disassemble my bunkers, wash them, wash all my clothes, AND shower. And I still sweat for another hour! Makes going to my nice air conditioned desk job on Monday morning slightly more tolerable.

What was the answer?
