So this was at the Tank Biathlon in the FUSSR a few years ago....

This was a Kuwait team in a Chinese Type 89... if my id is correct.

Rolling a tank. That takes some talent right there!

Cheers, Sirhr

That's the thing with tanks, when you have an oops big enough for anyone to notice, it's big enough for EVERYONE to notice.


That "seismic test" in the video was pretty good, I'll give the kid credit for being pretty damn accurate at that speed and pace. At this point in my life I'd have missed every mark, coughed up a pack of smokes still in the wrapper, lost consciousness, and thrown a piss bottle at my "buddies" when I woke up.

Honestly, I wasn't getting the streamer reference. Were you talking about a roman candle, perhaps, on a non-LAPES jump?

Oh, I get it. Yes, same thing - namely failure of the canopy, either due to failure to deploy, or in this case, severe overload. So, instead of a big canopy, you get a streamer of cloth. I was just saying that I bet that would have been quite interesting to witness - drag chutes deploy, tank goes out the back, then plunges straight down, drag chutes suddenly over-filled like a balloon about to burst, then sudden failure at the weakest point and the canopy becomes a streamer. Of course, they could have just held together for the length of the short ride to the ground, but where's the fun in that? It's not good that it happened, but if I had a link to a youtube video posted here, you know you'd click on it!
 
Speaking of Antiques Roadshow, how is your sand-farting ass today?

Bones are overlapped even more today. Really pulling the shoulder towards the chest. Can feel the upper end of the bone poking into the meat but oddly enough it's intermittent kinda like getting stabbed with an ice pick. Starting to like it. :confused: Only 5 more days till Benihana does his thing. Can't wait. Ready for a change of healing pain instead of this waiting thing. All good. You could say I'm "motivated". ;)
Hope you're doing well yourself buddy !

Get your ass up here to Schloss Nitrocellulose... I have a milling machine, a band saw and lots of cyanoacrylate... We'd have you back together before you could say "Jack Spratt."

You can bite on a bullet or a stick, a-la-Civil War surgery. Hey, they were tough enough. Guarantee no post-op infection, because germies can't survive in a chemical environment.

5 days? Heck, we'd have you back screaming for momma in 3 hours. But it would get better after that.

And think of all the fun you would have with the massive midge porn collection and some live cannons?

Cheers,

Sirhr

Good God... the visual I just received.

If something is poking out that isn't supposed to be, just tuck it neatly back into place!
