Before I sign off for the night,

[MarineCombatEngineer]

I just want to thank each and every one of DU's residents for the years of wonderful experiences and support, I know, in the past, I was sometimes, (Ahem) quite rude but I've mellowed out in the last year or so, at least I haven't gotten any posts hidden, if that's a measure of mellowing out, , and thank those of you for the hearts.

Please keep us updated on your locations (only if you think it's wise), maybe we can meet somewhere.

8. I think you have just the right amount of rudeness.

These times require a certain level of outrage which should sound rude. Polite outrage just doesn’t cut it. I always appreciate your posts.

9. I confess to having a couple of posts hidden as well. Peace 🙏

13. We haven't seen you yet on YouTube's "Bonehead Truckers of the Week"

in the snow wearing your flip-flops stuck on the Snoqualmie Pass I-90 uphill with no chains, or blocking the fuel island at Loves while you nap, so you must be doing something right.

I can't handle the tension of watching that draft dodger on TV at all, so 'Road Rage Instant Karma 4 wheelers brake checking 18 wheelers' is my new favorite YouTube show for relaxation. Watching a Peterbilt re-arrange the rear end of a Toyota Camry is cathartic.

Stay safe out there.

20. I once was stuck behind a WalMart truck on I-5 just outside of Portland, OR. because the jackwagon

didn't put his chains on during a snowstorm, he jack knifed his trailer on the SB lanes, blocking the entire SB travel, he received a lot of shit on the CB for his boneheaded action.

This tin can sailor is glad to have you aboard.

21. FWIW, your correcting me about not shooting tires of fleeing vehicles was one of the best lessons I received here.

I know you probably rolled your eyes until you saw the back of your skull before responding to my post, but I appreciated the time you took to set me straight for erroneously thinking that way, and nary a flame was seen coming from you.

Hope you slept well.

22. LOL, when I did a 2 year stint with the MarSecFor, one of the things the instructors emphasized

was, if someone ran the security gate, DON'T TRY TO SHOOT OUT THE TIRES, it could end very badly.
