We all made it. Also in 1968 I was a crew member flying Blind Bat flare missions over Laos,Cambodia, and North Viet Nam (at night, also in a C-130) Ken

(not prime) Once sewed up EVERY opening on a female cadaver. Embalming professor required it. (Actually, not even close to the top of my personal "distasteful thing I have done" list. The worst involve floaters. Had I ever finished a can of Tab, it would certainly rank high.) https://postimg.cc/xXjW1cqx/81efa4c5 Soli Deo Gloria democrats ARE the plague.

Fuel pump had quit, dead deer in the back of the truck, and it was 60 some miles home before the days of cell phones. It would run a bit when I primed it so I just kept priming it with the window wash button. My first plan was to stop at the nearest ranch and call for help, but it worked so good for the first 15 miles, I just kept refilling the washer tank every 10 miles or so, and kept on going. It was all about thumb timing, by the time I got home, I was pretty good at it. Now that is a story. Dear Popular Mechanics Forum, ....

Road a humpback whale once by mistake. That turned out better than it could have. Took first place in a triathlon. Whooped some big guys and out fought several at once.
