Still have the big ninja too. Ive been a helicopter engine mechanic in the Army then got to break them as a Cobra Pilot for the rest of the time...more fun to break them. Traveled alot. Kinda like that Johnny Cash song... Philosophy? well...'all that you touch and all that you see is all your life will ever be'... |
