Yo, dude. If you're going to post this drivel at least don't add
usenet.kooks to it. That just brings them all out. Let keep it

A "Harry" thread. *How nice.

Dunno, thought he was talking about me for a minute but don't think
I'm up to 20 boats, maybe 12 or 13. *I've kind of lost count but it
might be 20 counting some old family boats. * * :-)

Haven't done the Panama Canal yet either but did live there for a
short time as a kid.

I figured it wasn't about me when I got to the word "Hero."

I watched Full Metal Jacket last night for the um-teenth time.

I wasn't in it, so that counts me out too!


However i would have liked to have worked the range with an M-14,
though.

One of the best Vietnam movies for sure.

We used M-14s when I went through basic in 1967 (Ft Jackson, SC).
Great rifle, deadly accurate on man sized targets at 300 yards with
only iron sights, and very reliable.

Yo, dude. If you're going to post this drivel at least don't add
usenet.kooks to it. That just brings them all out. Let keep it
limited to our local kooks.

I just posted it to the groups from which Harry brought all his friends. I
forgot to delete rec.boats again. Besides, it never hurts to give your
heroes some needed adulation.
