Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Gentlemen, while technically not nekid, the post left VERY little to imagination. The idea here is pretty simple to understand and getting right up to the line isn’t really the best way forward. I appreciate you all and we 99% all get along and have a great time. I hope everyone gets the gist of this.

I don’t like being breast police. Neither does @powdahound76 or anyone else who catches things first and says something. Most times, guys just forget which thread they’re in, fixes things and life goes on.
I put it in this thread intentionally because there wasn't any nudity, and it was funny. The only reason I removed it was because you asked and are the thread OP. Had there been a wardrobe malfunction and I put it here by mistake, I would be thanking someone for catching the mistake...hopefully that explains it well enough, even for window lickers in the Pit.

I wouldn't mind building a 372 husky to dedicate to a 28, or maybe even a 32" bar.

Currently run a 28 on my ms462. I like the reach. I'd cut it back to a 20" if I had another saw in its class. With a 20" and an 8 pin it rips smaller wood. I do enjoy my 462. It's l8ke a modern 044/440. I should probably try to pick up a standard carb model so it will last as long as the old 044's.

Queue the safety freaks. I had to stump that one as high as the loader could get me to keep it inside the fence that is out of the pic to the right.

One of my worst fears happened to me while I was up there. The tree had long been dead and the bark was turning loose on it, so before I put the face in, I was knocking the bark off of it. It was FULL of roaches. Big ones! When I knocked the bark off the flew everywhere!

I almost unloaded the tractor. I was seriously debating throwing the saw one way, and myself the other way. I really had to dig deep to keep my shit together, lol.

That muffler mod is clean!
 
Family trip headed to Mobile Alabama. Stopped in to this at Southern Museum of Flight. If you dont know the history of this helicopter take the time to look it up. Cool story about it.

That's one of the two that got swiped out of the Egyptian desert... I know a guy who was involved in that. I think I've posted the story here somewhere.


There was another one 'lifted' so to speak. But that story I don't think has gotten out.

Cheers,

12 tons! Is most of the weight the engines? Just seems like a helo would be made light but I admit I am not a “helologist”
A lot of armor as well.... Those things were called 'flying tanks' for a reason!

And I'll back up a bit, being as it was Lawless, who's a decent easy going member, I'd likely remove it for him. The others complainging Bwahahahahaha.

In my gymrat days(just like a lot of people) I’d take a few cans to work for a late morning and early afternoon meal. Of course I got some shit for it but someone genuinely had a problem when I sprinkled garlic powder in a can and it was wafting through the whole shop
 
We are gonna need a bigger ratchet
The only thing I've ever seen that used a socket that big was an impact we carried around with a drot. Which is a small crane for those that don't know.
Boy ain't that the truth. A little over a year ago I got the call to inform me that a close friend of mine had passed. He was 83. He was still a pretty capable guy in his old age. He got off balance when he got up out of his easy chair, fell and hit his head on the couch and he was gone.

I met him in my late teens and knew him a little more than twenty years. I was closer to him than some of my own family.

He did some gunsmithing on the side after he retired, which is how I met him. After he passed, I purchased his lathe and tooling from his widow. I've built a few rifles of my own on that machine now and it brings back good memories when I'm out in the shop making chips on that old machine.

Got another call a couple weeks ago at an odd hour in the evening from a number I didn't recognize. My heart sank when I heard the voice on the other end when I answered. It was my hunting buddy's wife calling to inform me that my friend had suffered a mild stroke. He's my dad's age, mid sixties. He's doing good now though. We're taking a trip to the lease next weekend.
 
No helo mounted variants of that gun were ever produced with 3 barrels.

Call them anyway. Be interesting to see if you get any legit info.

They look like pieces of pipe. The only three barrel Gatling I know of is the U.S. .50 that we built up at GD. GAU19 IIRC. And those on the Hind are big honking cannon diameter tubes. That look like black iron plumbing pipe or PVC pipe to me.

The Hind Gatling was a 12.7mm which was the Soviet.50 BMG equivalent. It was definitely four barrels.

Edit… forgot about this guy.

Hang on. I was wrong. Forgot about this one Another GD product. 20mm three barrel. Probably enough of that hardware floating around that they might have stuck one in!
