As a young man, I really wanted one of those.

It was that exact color and had the 6. Chatted a bit with him and the guy in the particularly tasty signal orange longnose Targa behind him at the next stoplight.Quote:

Ditched the original straight run chainlink for a quarantine courtyard. Project in progress... does anyone have pics of any exciting original like inset form/ed concrete paver situation to spark ideas? The potted maple will post up on one in that corner for instance. Slight graded change to play. Planned for mostly grass surround and some washed gravel. Attachment 327857
You're in Western WA, right? Have you been out to Marenokos? They have great stone and some lovely displays to get ideas from.Quote:

And they brought in the Turkish crew at night to build the VWs?Quote:

Those were actually from the Cascade Warbirds based in Arlington. I believe they flew down to JBLM to flyover the base before the C-17s took off.Quote:

Yes, they are gigantic. We don't have any based in Washington. The C-17 was designed as a replacement for the C-141. It's a much more versatile aircraft than the C-5 due to its STOL capability.Quote:
