They joke about this kind of thing on the movie "Say it Isn't So", where the mechanic is caught humping on a guy's Viper, but I didn't think this was a real thing.

*applauds* Good for you. Not being treated right, paid right or appreciated is why I left my old job, too. It's a good feeling, especially when you get a job that pays you more for doing the same thing you were doing before.

Ask and listen to dirgle - 2M [Miniature/Microminiature] guys are capable of very small, very high-quality solder work on multi-layer PCBs. This guy knows WTF he's doing. My $0.02.

I have a set of those as well. What you use all depends on what you are going to be crimping, really. My favorite for "yellow, blue, red" environmental splices is something very similar to what is shown here: http://www.edmo.com/index.php?module=products&func=display&prod_id=19070&cat_id=740...

Actually, Nick, I thought about working for Raytheon or Lockheed, as I had years working with contractors from each company throughout my 9 years, and I guess I had "connections" of some sort. I still may attempt to get a job with one of those companies, but for now I have secured a decent...

Yeah, I knew about the other two pods - I just didn't research or know if the knowledge was publicly released. When I finished my year working LANTIRN backshop in Korea, I had just heard about SNIPER [I guess ANG units in Utah were supposed to get them] and LITENING was already online and/or...

They did something else to some Tomcats that I can relate to - they outfitted few with the AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN Targeting pod, making it a "Bombcat". I used to fix these pods in a backshop environment. This targeting pod is one of the things that made the E-model F-15 "Eagle", and is/was also used...

Samoas were renamed to Caramel Delights. I do not know if that is in all parts of the country, I just know that for the past few years, whenever I asked for Samoas, they told me they are now Caramel Delights. I ordered a ton whenever I could [usually this time of year].

Fuzz, that is the most coherent contribution I've seen you make to the forum. Your observational skills on this is astute, and your clarity is simply astounding.

My wife and I watched that show for a little bit, and then I was put on a shift at work where I was unable to watch. We both really liked it. We don't Tivo and tapes are almost obsolete, so I figured we would just eventually buy them on DVD once the price drops [Insane price when it was new!].

I always recommend Newegg. I've never had a bad experience with them, and my best experience was when I ordered over $600 worth or stuff next day shipping and all of it was in my hands, from California to Florida, in 20 hours. The ultimate thing that Fry's has over anyone else is that you can...

I've seen it done. There was an asian guy who lived down the street from me in base housing, and they lived with his elderly mother. The best people to ask would probably be those at the personnel center/comptroller [MPF] or a family support center on base.

You could always serve your country for a couple of years and learn a trade in the process. I know a guy who got out of the Air Force after 6 years who is making $80,000 a year as an electrician for a construction company that belongs to a friend of his family. Sometimes "knowing people" helps...

Sometimes getting a new job is just what the doctor ordered. I know that I am already much happier.

Yeah, but that looks like an actual race car, whereas the rest of the cars from the genre seem to look ridiculous.

This one isn't so bad.

Just because I CAN doesn't mean I WILL.

Ask some of the vatos here in town with the 13" rims that stick out 3"+ from their fender wells. I've seen them on Kias, Mitsus, and even old POS cars that you wouldn't think to make into wannabe lowriders.

I guess everyone needs a gimmick. I hate when entertainers try their hand at politics, especially when they use their music to influence the energy and youth in others to achieve their agenda. I just ranted about this in an online blog post, and it is something that really hurts the brain and...

Couple MkIIs in there. They look ridiculous, but are entirely salvageable.
