tinwhistle Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 On occasion Casey will refer to this site and those who frequent it as "The C-130 Community". We all agree that the "Herk" is a life long love affair and we all, here, share that love of our Hercules, which leads me to an observation: the "people" on this site. I am very fortunate in that I am able to travel, and in the past two years I have traveled to Montana twice, for several days each trip and have become fast friends with MTcrewchief. I have also traveled in the opposite direction to "Western Maryland". The visits there have not been as lengthy, however, the time spent with "Giz" and his wife has been exceptional. These two, Ken and Paul, are real, honest, "stand up" individuals and I am fortunate to be able to call them "friend"! Lest I forget I must acknowledge a nice visit, to my home in Wisconsin, by Leland Sills. We had a wonderful visit, albeit short. I don't think I have ever met anyone that knows as much about all kinds of aircraft as Leland!! And you should see his "ride"!!! Also, because of this site I have broken a long standing rule of mine: never apply stickers, bumper or otherwise, to my vehicle!!! Soooo, to Casey and all the rest of our "Community" I say Thanks, and welcome home brother!!!!! I have attached a couple pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizzard Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I love that wood pile make home sick for Ky. We burn wood all my time at home. I have about that much more on the back porch and even more over on the right in the picture that you can't see. reckon I have nearly seven cords all told. Had two big hickory trees blow down last spring, unbelievably, and and am splittin' those big brutes up. For you city folks, green hickory smells like a wet horse when you split it. also had a 80 foot white oak hit by lightning two years ago, killed it, and had taken down as well. Thing has 126 rings in the base. I got my wife a nice log splitter and she is slowly gettin' them split up.. LOL!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC10FE Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Yeah, it's like my daughter tells me, "Your brain doesn't know how old your body is." I guess that's why I still mow my yard, plant shrubbery, etc. Wears me out, but I love it. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
