If it was that long ago you’d have been a pedophile more than likely for that to take place. My near 100 grandpa makes those jokes.
That joke didn’t work out lol

You can only suck water 32’ up IIRC but the city could fill tankers all day long down at the harbor
Pics and shit rule
You can put pumps and dump tanks with more trucks between….also you can pump water to the top of 100+ foot ladders, and buildings, water towers, etc not using suction. You can feed the truck (that’s how hydrants fill them) without suction and have it push water farther up hill. I’ve definitely pumped water 112 feet in the air with enough pressure to shoot water pretty damn far.
It’s 33.9’ technically, bitch

I agree with that. Every pier and wharf should have drafting set ups with a manifold, pump, and IC engine for filling tankers. Another problem with this is weight limits on the piers and wharfs. Unfortunately some of these thoughts/ideas don’t gain traction until AFTER the fact.
Obi Wan Nairobi is now on Trump's security detail.
There are these things called boost pumps that you just put right at the edge of the pond, creek, river, ocean that pushes water to where you want it.
Our Engine carried 2 gasoline powered portable pumps and we carried 50 gallons of gasoline. They could push water many feet of head but, of course, all pumps push better than pull so they needed to be fairly close to the source. They were heavy bitches and needed 2-3 guys to carry very far. 2" discharge lines and IFIRC, 3" hard suction lines. I do not recall ever using them other than to test on schedule but they were there to supply water or remove water if needed.
What? I mean you were in school. She must have been old enough.
EDIT: If your grandpa is actually still alive at 100, that is amazing. My family is long lived except for war and "accidents" such as when a bulldozer with nothing but a seat rolled down a hill or when a tree fell on a great great uncle while squirrel hunting when he was like 15. I knew all of my great grandparents. Cherish that old man.

We only carried a floto pump and the build-up. A dedicated Wild Land rig in the mid to late 90’s. CDF Model 14. After developing Asthma, I went to the DOT. Still remember doing Drafting and Water Shuttle Drills on top of cutting hand line and hose packs. We had a trail for training that was 15 minutes up and 5 minutes back for hose pack training. Up the side of a canyon.
Between hand crew and engine crew, I wonder why I’m as broken up as my buddy who retired from the Airborne.

We had to carry a roll of hose up 5 flights of stairs, go back, get another roll and go back up and back down. I forget the time requirement. I carried the first roll up and went down. Got the next one up and when I was hurrying back down (full SCBA donned) I tripped and fell several stairs to the landing. Then, while regaining my composure, fell/slid down the the next flight on my stomach/face first on accident. I couldn't really see shit. I realized that it didn't hurt and was faster so I just crawled around and did it on purpose another flight, then the next and the next. I mean, It didn't even really hurt with all that gear on. Just sort of sledded down on my belly. Chief ruled that I had not cheated but then said it would not ever be allowed again. HAHAHA!! Of course, I was 24 and bullet proof. I'm not bullet proof anymore.
Not yet, but only 4 years. My great great uncle just died at 95.
I have a great uncle that will be 100 this year. WW2 true hero. Navy, his brother was POW. He volunteered for every shore duty/raiding party available. Frogman or whatever. He and his brother figured out once that at one time he had helped liberate a camp just 5 miles away. If there were no women around, there was a little bit of alcohol involved and things were just right(?) they had some real nasty tales of war. My cousins and I would be all ears. None of us ever wanted to see war and they discouraged ever enlisting but we all did.
Would several times, my duty as a fellow giant.
I saw a guy at the grocery store this afternoon, the freezer cabinets were shoulder high to him. He was so tall he hand to bend over to push the grocery cart. It kind of reminded me of the troll in Harry Potter.
Is there a book on that guy’s experience? Since I think he was SAS, I doubt he’d write it but maybe someone else did. Dude is impressive.
I believe I watched him on Shawn Ryan at one point.
Edit:
Yup, Christian Craighead
He did write a book but the British government won't let him publish it.
I’ve fucked in worse places
Fo sho. But is there more adventurous sex? I bet not
A buddy of mine actually sent me a text today about getting laid by some girl with dissociative personality disorder. He’s a little fucked in the head too so they’re either going to be perfect for each other or I’m never going to see him again.
We don’t want to hear about scout camp
I hate having sex in a sleeping bag, it's too tight, you get really sweaty and it's hard to breathe because your scout leader's hand is covering your mouth.
There’s a fine line between smokin hot gym rat and science experiment
Women usually need some science to get like that, jawline looks like some science was involved.
