When will they learn Microsoft Excel is not a database?

lol - dropped off my Harley last week for servicing and intended to ask if they could put baffles in. But, with two very big guy’s looking at my bike while talking to service, I *forgot* to ask about the baffles. Sigh.

Trained with the A10s regularly during CALFX exercises in the 82D; and also the AC-130s ... another platform beloved by infantry and hated by the Air Force.

I’ve become more and more convinced that a dash cam is becoming necessary.

At the top of the blog, I figured “CA” was a PCMCIA slot but I couldn’t remember seeing a laptop from the early 90s with one of those, and a few of these early Compaq models passed through the tech shop I worked at 97/98. I wonder how the software/hardware abstraction layer works with those expansion ports.

They could always just put a MegaSquirt ECU in there. :)

At 12, parents got me a Packard Bell 486 DX/33mhz with 4MB, 340MB 5200 rpm hard drive, and a 4800 baud modem. I uninstalled Windows 3.1 and just used DOS with Desqview. Installed QEMM and tweaked autoexec.bat and config.sys ... but sadly couldn’t run DOOM. ;’(

#4 looks like a docking station expansion.

... and be sure to load qemm in autoexec.bat and load HIMEM in config.sys.

yeah... but probably in black and white.

Loved that OS. It was superior to Windows ‘95.

Everyone knows real drivers use manual transmissions.

Douchiest car has to be an IROC Camaro from the 80s.

... after over 40 years in service with the USMC ... total of 392 AAVs which will breathe a couple more decades of life into the old but proven design.

My ‘67 GT Fastback had a 2 point belt

Just one thing though... when driving around some land - like a farm - especially if needing to make a lot of stops to get in and out ... that damn beeper gets annoying REAL fast.

I don’t know how many times my old man got caught in that damn thing when trying to get out the door before it finally went all the way forward.

I think this is apples and oranges because I don’t think the A10 was ever meant to be a first strike type of aircraft, so the type of missions the F35 is meant to fight would be rather limited in scope compared to the types of conflicts we will likely find ourselves involved with. I have an affinity for the A10 and…

Smoke jumpers. It looks like they’re about 6,000ft up in the photo, but I have no idea the actual height that they would jump from. They can land in thick of trees, which is crazy. They have to wear special suits and mesh face masks to keep from being gouged by tree branches during the landing. Sometimes they get…

The Marines kick down the door and hold down the fort for up to 30 days, independently, while the much larger but much slower Army units mobilize for action.
