Yeah, I used to back them up for the Haney drivers. Alot of those folk would get lost on a one way street. I was qualified to pilot a Nuky Cruiser in Puget Sound. Now, if you want power...

MRE and heater meals??...

Splain pleze Lucy...

Jake eats before I do ! nowhere tomorrow except may to the post office in Danbury .Still tryin to tie up some business stuff and I have'nt gotten word about my plates yet !

Sort of suprised. I would have thought they would have been happy to see you on the road again Bob!

Iknew that mister I's jist gitten inyer vittles a little !Yeah thats a little like wrestlin a waterbuffalo into a mason jar !

Well, not as bad as an aircraft carrier thats for sure! OMG!

Oh they are it's me gotta take care of some personal stuff and people don't return phone calls in a timely manner anymore .

Army stuff they try to call "chow" MRE = Meals Ready to Eat. Most are tomato based. There's mexican and italian food. comes in a pouches, and you put that pouch into another pouch with water. there's a pad in there, and a chemical reactio causes the pad to get really hot, heating the food (they can also be used to make little bombs)
Heater meals are similar - except the main bit of chow is in a tray instead of a pouch.
I keep them in my car. good survival food - lots of carbs and over 1000 calories.

Don't they pretty much go where-ever they please?

Do you have yung'ens, EarthSprite? Ones of your own - not these boys in here, I mean?

God with the video and elctronics they have now plus side thrust motors for manuevering They almost park themselves do'nt they ?

I don't know about now a days. But the big boys were nukes, and banned from several ports of call.

Thanks Skyy...I will have to mention that to my partner the next time that we go out to the bush.....Just because you never know what might happen...

I suppose the ports are'nt dredged deep enough !

It's a good thing that you clarified that...


I have one son that flew the coop 6 years ago and is married...So no young'uns to keep care of..

They are deep enough. But, the governments wouldn't let them in.

Oh Stupid me because of the nuclear generators ! Duh

It's frustrating seeing the tuna cans go in for emergency assistance. Where a carrier is a better option.

I make sure my daughter Katie (she lives in New Orleans) always has some, for when she drives up here. Sony has her own, since she's in the Army Reserve.
Last Fall, I was leavin post and she was picking up some generators. She caught my attention, i pulled over, and she took my lunch from me. Back out in the tin huts ("a tin hut" is not how you call someone to attention, they are little shacks made of corrogated tin, with dirt floors) she was getting yelled at for having gone to the PX (store) when she got the generators, while everyone only had MREs. She told her Sgt. she got it from her Ma - but he didn't believe a kid's Ma would pack her a nice luch (bread, ham, cheese, cookies, Pepsi) and take it to her. Good thing her aid driver witnesed the hand-off.
