Iraq update
Folks, I have been busy of late. Yesterday we had an "open house" with our coalition friends across the runway from us! (We live with the Iraqis) It was a sucess, and many came over to see our few aircraft that they see flying around all the time. I was busy during the open house, cutting girders out of the concrete that were leftovers from hangars bombed out by....Us! They kept popping tires, so I was cutting them off flush with a torch, and caught fire...a few times. I found out my coveralls burn like a fuse, and that my nylon uppers on my desert boots can melt pretty well to skin. I only got a little burned, but am ok. I have midnight duty this week, so I may post more often. And to those who have sent us items, THANK YOU! they are like gold here. ANyone else interested in doing so, please PM me, and I will give you my addy, ok? Even a card, or a picture, or artwork by your child is precious, thank you.
I may even have found a bike to fix, and ride! It is a 125cc, but I have no idea of the make! I will post pics in another post, ok? Youm Jameel! -----Metalguy

Do be careful on that motorcycle when you get it up and running. How would it look you go fight the good fight in Iraq, surviving (admittedly self-inflicted) burns, only to go and kill yourself on a 125?

Careful with that torch mg! If you're gonna burn yourself at least to it on a hot exhaust pipe over here after a run to the Horse Heaven Hills with your family!...
Have fun with the bike (whatever it is). Hope you can find some parts to get it running.
