Not even close, I was referring to Hell, Michigan. Lots of good lakes around there. It is rare for Lake Erie to freeze over completely. I think it has only done so 3 or 4 times in my lifetime. It is a relatively warm lake and there is lots of current.

Funny OVM, by the way Hell has already froze over this year and I understand that the ice fishing has been quite good so far!!

I am glad you were not trying to compare those animals to real men, I can relax now. They were field agents. The thing is that most don't know what that means. The are the guys that pay the bribes to get intell, that get the favors needed, etc. It is not James Bond stuff, it is real. The...

Yes Greg, recruiting would be one of their main goals. "Fishing" for information would be another. They would have been like the guys who helped to figure out where Saddam Hussain was hiding.

Assuming that they were there doing what I think they were, and I would be willing to bet money that they were, they were not even armed. They would have spent most of there time in a building doing interviews etc. The rule under the Geneva convention apply to "combatants". Soldiers, marines...

You have no idea in the world what a "spy" is OVM, you have been watching too many movies. The main "mission" of our intelligence services now, as when I was in, is to avoid war and death. The best way to stay out of wars is to know what your enemy is doing. It is difficult work, and for some...

It is always a terrible day when brave men die for us. OVM, that was kinda not nice. They were not enemy combatants. They were there working a "HUMINT" mission. That is what is known as "human intelligence". The more difficult and dangerous kind of intelligence work there is. It is a shame the...

At home, most likely watch some football if there are any games on today :rolleyes: Back in service Monday, ready to roll!!!

The more the merrier!!! :D

We had the same problem with our 2006 M112 Freightliner. We had a front end alignment when we bought it. It was right up to factory specs. At the time it only had 145,000 miles on it. We the first set of steers only had 45,000 when they went bad. We had another alignment, done by one of those...

China and Russia have been funding these groups for years. That was just one of the reasons we had people stationed in Terhan, until Carter messed up that is. Many of our intelligence agencies have sections that do nothing except trace money. I never did that kind of work, too boring. Keep...

I hope so too. There seems to be more and more people everyday that are talking about just how fed up they are with our government. I have been seeing a lot of "vote the bums out" bumper stickers. Looks like my ranting is starting to catch on!! LOL!!! Every oppressive government can be brought...

All power in this country flows down to the government. We are seeing the beginnings of a possible Muslim backlash against terrorism and radicalism. All of these things take time. Shoot, we might even be able to get rid out King Putz 1st and Co and the rest of the bums in congress. There is...

There is going to be a rally here in Detroit on Jan, 8th. I think it is to take place when this last scumbag is due in court. They are requesting Muslims in the area to show up carrying American flags to protest terrorism. There is hope.

You are right, RLENT. Many in this Country do not seem to understand that with Every freedom comes a grave responsibility. I can remember being taught that in school. What an outmoded idea, acting in a responsible manner. How things have changed.

Something will happen in the future, no amount of defensive measures can prevent that. Sooner or later every defense will break down. We have to have a balance of offense and defense. We must continue to carry this fight to the areas where these people live and train. We will never eliminate the...

That is because, as with many other things, our rights under our Constitution are being taken away wholesale. The Second Amendment to the Constitution was part of a larger bill known as the Bill of Rights. Take note of the title of that bill, that is very important. Every RIGHT in that Bill is...

They might be a bit much if we scanned everyone. Just a thought but we could use them as a secondary tool. Almost more of a deterrent factor. Scan a few on every flight and anyone acting goofy. Like boarding without luggage or paying cash etc. Do not, however, make known what your plan for...

We are still making payments so those expenses remained the same. Last year we had massive business loses due to the hurricane damage to our truck so our bottom line numbers were very skewed when looking at last year to this. So we went back and compared bottom line numbers to 2007. Found the...

LOL!! No, I don't think so. More like 25-30 feet. The only down side of this plan is it might blow your ear drums out!! Yeah, porpoising is due to having the engine trimmed incorrectly.
