I originally planned not to buy one of the Scrap Muks at all, but more I studied the design, the more I came to appreciate how it could be useful for an outdoors guy like myself. I still would like to see the Yard come out with a Bolo and Khukri though! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Glad to hear the holidays were a good time for you Tom. Did you get the card, BTW?

Christmas here was pretty good; I drove down and arrived at about 04:30, crashed into bed, to be "ambushed" by my three nephews at 07:45! LOL! They kept trying that pretty much everyday I was home visiting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> All in all, it was very good.

The weather here has been pretty crazy as well; we had temperatures as low as
-29 Farenheit! The last week alone has seen two really good snowstorms, with white out conditions during the drive to and from the base. There were more than a few vehicles off the road; one of the primary reasons was not adapting their driving to the weather conditions, the secondary was driving a vehicle with old all-season tires on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> *SIGH* All people are born stupid, thankfully, most of us grow out of it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />




And to go along with what you said about Marines above,"Once you've tasted life as one of the enlisted, there's no going back!" I love being in the Army, and cannot imagine doing any other kind of job right now.

P.S. - Tom, one of these days I'll have to take a trip down South and visit you, I'll bring some good Northern beer with me, and we'll chat one on one, without all the hosers arounds.... what do you say,eh?!?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
