And he's modest. Even better.

Blasphemy!

I'm not much for symbols like that either, but that's just me, lol. Pretty good job though.

Did you ever serve in the Military? Maybe thats why you don't understand. I served 10 years aboard submarines so you could voice your opinion. Happy Fathers Day.

So, I got some painting done yesterday. Finally! It's obviously a work in progress. I have to get some more blue paint and then sand everything smooth. Without further adu here are some pics.

That's my S-10 in the background. It needs a head gasket.

Yes, it's sitting on some extra plexi and my spool of CAT5.

Actually... no, I've never been in the military... turning 18 this Thursday... If I've offended you or anyone else, I'm sorry... just trying to crack a joke. I'm most likely not going to join up for personal and medical reasons, but if I do it'll prolly be the Air Force. That's for a couple reasons, 1) The Army Recruiter won't leave me the hell alone and 2) I'm not much of one for running around and shooting, I'd rather be behind a desk (which would be boring as hell, but better than being shot at IMHO) and I'd like to learn how to fly. I'm probably gonna go into some sort of computer related field though.

Again, I'm sorry if I said something I shouldn't have, just me and my general ignorance from being young. And I really don't want to have an argument with anyone, so if I did something dumb, just ignore me and let me know what it was, thanks.
Great job sgtm.

xRyokenx - No worries man. If you do decide to join the military and have questions, I would be happy to answer them. I was never a recruiter, so I'm not going to lie to you like some will.

b4i7 - dont' worry about clutter. I don't see it that way.

Commando - Yeah, the Corps does have that MAJOR advantage over civilian jobs. It's easy to become complacent. I'm pretty happy with First Energy. I'm surrounded by cool people. It's a shame I can't take pics of our data center. You guys would love it.

We're cookin out today, so more than likely, I'm not going to get anything else done.

edit: Just noticed I have 6 bars now. Cool!

Small update. I got some more paint on the front bezel. I forgot to take pics, so I'll see about getting some up tomorrow. Next will be sanding it smooth and clear coat. After that I have to cut the window, paint the panel, mount the window, paint the inside of the case (red is already down for the stripe), and put it all back together again.

Design reminder:

b4i7.. awesome stuff there! If only I had a mill..... +rep dude.

Had some ideas for this on the way to work tonight. I'm going to see about getting at least 1 of them done over my 2 days off for the 4th. One of them can't really be done until everything is behing put back together. Watch this space.
