direct from the soc firehose… ~2 hours. images in gallery below are for these writings.

is my heart rate in fast mode related to my brain firestorms?; was 82+ for a long while yesterday, as i was spewing ideasd at an alarming rate


the m113 was later avbailable with a rubber track. canada converted some if not all to this. likely say a couple tons, maybe a lot easy on maintenance, and must be easier to work on than the deift?? track we used in ’84 on my 21B m113.
i could proably write 12 different small articles on m113 experiencesd; paint chips in the deisel, doing regular daily weekly month and stuff like oil changes, checking the fluids, tightending tose 4(8)x2 3/16″? bots on the differencves differential output to front drive wheel gearbox input. these were forever coming loose, but we didn’t use locktite correclty? pretty sure they were aluminum, but bolt and u-joiunt(nut with int thread) never stayed tight. they also (ususually ) had some sort of fancy nylock? washers, two of them with rigeged faces. and if one of these ujoints coame off, boom, no control of steering, garunetted hard turn to the one side or otherm, depening on if the track locked up or when loosefreewheel. with no connection t the track, ytou could not touch the tiller bar or brake as this would just make you turn toward the good track side as it slows; but with the freewheeling side freewheeliong (as it does), the would likey steer turn to the good side track, slowly, but all depending on veslocit, teackiot, power applied, frciton n the sdrivr and track mechanisms, so you would coast to a stop,m likely off the road if you were doing any speed.

the time a drove from parking lot/maint to wards H coy stores to join my section; for some reason I had the door back door ramp down wheil in the parking lot; got the word to go to stores, so hop in, do quick startup, warmmup, e4tc. but leavbe back rasmp down. drive by myself, ramp making a hell of a eracket, but not me hearing it 9headset on? and noise of engine . eventsallyy stopped when someone was waving at me with the crossed arms over head supred nad happening. yelled at to look bhined me. dopr’pped down my seat, looked backwards and saw sunglight. oh fuck. i could see the scrtathes on the roadsway from the two slide pads? on the tuop underside of the ramp. i could sees someone behind me waving and running towards me. i upped the rasmp, locked it in places, {{i just spent 2 minutes wactiong out the actions of these steps in my office chair.

get map, add to story; gagetown ; there goes 1/2 hour google mapping around at the various places on cfbgagetown

popped back up and drove the rst of the ay to stores.

as i write this for the last 2 hours (80%), I eventually start questioning why the fuck am i doing this at all. like who in the fuck is ever going to read this. sure I CAN make a universlalyy accessible documewnt on the web 9a so-called “blog”), and i can sepend another hour correcting , editing, adding graphics, annotating the dozons of screen senips I grabgbled & etc, to make a “publishable” version of this, but,… why?

mandela moment effect? did the m113a2 we used have a square ater heater/boiler just behind the driver, against left inside wall, below radio rack? sq2uare, opened top hinged up, rubber gasket, smanp latch, spigot on the bottm. could boil? heat up water for coffee, etc, and as a hot water barth to cook ourt normal field rations (virtually always boil-in-foil magic chef? packs, all decent, but exopect the scrambled egg slab withg omlette water, and a few others.); was very important as the driver to have the water hot, or the meals hot, when the trrops got bhack

could do a whole post just on our rations. which were pretty damn good. trading wars. having a supply guy that could do the weheeling dealing like radar orielly in mash or milo minderbinder in catch-22, was able to get things like brerad, jars of kraft pb, eggs, etc. which is all part of the an army marches on its belly rule of thumb whosaid?

siriusxm. web page player. i can click on the card to make that stationb play. but i cannot press the exact same card/tile to make it pause. must move to bottom cetner pause button.; also
i need to buy an m113a1 model and make a diorram.

holey-o-fuck i was able to swtcih from soundbar to boseqc3.5v2 headphone s without crashing anything; a chalk duust torture reprise -> something -> chalk dust torure was starting and i sonded like a killer; it was. so using the web page player i was able to pause, select a nother channel, switch the headphoines orr thff soundbar, then restart the one zi wanted; sinece web player will try (and usually is able to ) start the song at the beginning when tuning to a nrew channel, and it worked.

wjy can’t i tell the link from wikipedia top open a google maps as the default when I press the coods on the wikip inforbox on the right side? it takes me to a list of every known? mapping website/app? file format? so i need to decide once again if i want google maps in the new tab or new windw as per ctctrl? (SHIFT-CTRL whle mbutton click on link witll opwn in new window (( i want this to be “open in a new window anddo the 2-windows slips, but only some of my scrren like the right 60% with 200 px boards
