Forgot to add...

The cost quoted to me by Daelen for a custom rollbar by MA-Motorsports would be in the neighborhood of $3500 and $4000.

The cost of the RPM was $2100+ and an additional $1700+ for the installation by MA.

So - no benefit going with the prefab RPM over the custom MA-M one except for the time savings.

At that time I received 2 GG shots - one in each arm.
What's a GG shot, you ask?
Gamma Globulin it is and it forms a large lump just under your skin and hurts like all get out for at least a day until your system absorbs it.
You are only supposed to get 1 GG shot -and- it's supposed to be in your buttocks - not your arms.
Needless to say I couldn't move my arms for a day or so ... making it near impossible to put my uniform on and even carry my duffle bag to the C-130 to Bangkok.
Would find out later that the tech that [purposely] gave a double dose of GG was having a particularly bad day and was pissed off at the world.
I think he may have checked one too many peckers on the VD line.
And so it was in SEA back in the Vietnam War era.

Very familiar with the Gamma Globulin shots. LOL I have had several. When I was deployed to Somalia they looked at my shot records and laughed. You get 6 shots. 2 in each arm and one in each hip. Some poor fool got 7. Getting on the C5 was a freaking challenge. 2 sore arms and one tall steep ramp. It sucked. I was in the Air Force also. 1989 to 1993, back to school I went.

PFT??? or PT. When I was in Somalia, I use to watch the Marines do PT every morning. Mt. Dew in hand smoking a Marlboro in my lounge chair. LOL When the Mt. Dew ran out it was coffee.

I'm laughing my *** off. I was in Manila at the Embassy. I had avoided the Gamma Globulin for 2 months. They sent an embassy nurse and the State Department Regional Security Officer to a Comm post I was manning in the city. RSO took the post while I was told to take the shot. Felt like a spike went in my *** cheek, opened up and another red hot spike came out of that one. I will fight somebody with a syringe of that stuff.

Thank you for your service ...
What did you do?
I was an Aircraft Electrician 423x0 and worked mostly on A-1 Skyraiders and some A-26 Invaders
Got my hands dirty and my knuckles scraped on more than a few occasions.
Here's a pic of an A-1H aptly named 'Magnet ***' because of it's propensity for attracting ground fire (and resulting bullet holes) during close support missions.
Another pic of an A-26A (On-Mark Engineering B-26K conversion).
Lastly - that's me - young and handsome on Christmas Eve 1969 sitting on the rooftop veranda of the Hotel Ubar when I was TDY to Udorn Thailand.

Is this your car spooler? Kind of curious about the ID fuel filter.

I understand.
We had a Communications Compound set near the middle of the base.
Top Secret - monitoring Communist forces radio traffic from VN, Laos, Cambodia
We were only 60 miles away from Hanoi - and 10 - 12 miles from the Ho Chi Minh Trail coming down out of the mountains in Laos.
We also saw a lot of covert activity (Air America) cycling in and out of our base.
To this day there are those who still don't want to talk about it...and up until fairly recently - myself included.
You hear Nothing - You see Nothing - You know Nothing were the orders of the day.
And unless you were there you really wouldn't understand much anyway.

It did cause me to have a nice hole in my back with a little entrance wound.
