Master Guns Kistler "Iraqi-fying" the process of jump starting a jeep with #10 wire (new verb for the kids out there, similar to "jerry-rigging").

What ever it is, at least you have the time of day to be sitting on the computer critisizing little details, while he is over there working on a car that im 100% positive that he knows what he is doing since he has been working on cars since he was 16 years old. Plus he didnt type it so lay off.; 18 July, 2005 04:23

Easy now, easy.

The previous poster (my Dad) wins for technicality, but a close look at the picture will reveal about 4-5 wires bundled to accomplish the job. You are both right; Master Guns is a magician (you have no idea), and my Dad is a smart ass (no news to me)!

Return your knfe to the sheath; no blood need be drawn today.

Anonymous said...: Boy, I am amazed that we cannot have a little humor in this blog. I apologize to Master Guns Kistler if his obvious skills were somehow belittled by me. That was not my intent. With my bifocals I could not see the five wires (and still cannot see them).

As to smart-ass as a descriptor, you can emphasize either word you want, "smart" or "ass". They both fit in their own time, and even work well in tandem. To you, I apologize for stirring up your sensibilities. That was way off my intent.

Now, let's get to what I am doing to support the war.

1. I designed the electrical systems including backup generation for the WMD labs at the Pentagon and at about a dozen other locations including Georgia, Hawaii, Alaska, Idaho, Ohio, and I cannot remember where else.

2. Both of my Marine sons served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm while their mother and I helped to balance the assholes over here that were claiming that "only blacks and white trash who could not get a job were over there." That is a direct quote from the post office worker who told the customer in front of me that she was against the action in Kuwait. You want to see a Marine's father chew some ass, you should have been in the Postmaster's office with him and that lady and me that day.

3. My son Erik is the XO of the operation we are now discussing and he is also the main author of the blog itself. (You and I are distracting him from that effort. Let's quit it.) I am busy trying to keep his mom calmed down while he is there. I am trying to do my part.

4. I cannot wait for an anti-war demonstration that I can get out and help to counter.

I am retired now, so I can try to add my pride in his group to the meat of the conversation at my leisure. I swear, I thought calling Master Guns Kistler a magician was a complement to him. Was that a bad thing?

I think thats what keeps us sane here in the states and over in Iraq. We all miss our husbands, sons, brothers and friends but keeping the situation light really makes me feel at ease. Thank you for all your funny notes and comments and keep them coming. I think Master Gun Kistler had a good laugh about the wires, by the way I only see 4. I know I did... They all are HEROS in my book; 18 July, 2005 22:15
