Wonder what will be the first cover model?

Thanks, I'm starting to lean more toward not bothering with the scale and instead on how I feel and how my clothes fit.

From the add I see in this months American Rifleman it appears to be tactical

USS Yolo, LST 677 (M), this date 1945 off the invasion beaches of Okinawa, per C. Homer Bast.
May 24, 1945
While GQ was called again in the early morning hours nothing developed. What a surprise when, with reveille, music was heard from shore. Okinawa has a radio station! Although high on the priority list it did not go on the air until today. Ashore a splendid system of highways now covers the island. New airfields are in operation and hundreds of planes take off and land. Okinawa has passed from the defensive stage to the offensive one. Breakfast over; I called on the new flotilla operations officer asking him about a replacement for our LCVP lost in heavy weather. He promised me one from a departing LST.
GQ was called at 2100. At 2145 on two separate occasions a Frances made runs across the Hagushi anchorage at 10,000 feet. The planes were well illuminated by searchlights and taken under fire by shore batteries and ships. Later the two fields were bombed by high flying planes; a 120 man suicide force landed at Yontan. Eleven other two-engine bombers were downed before they could land with their kamikazes. The suiciders carried all manner of weapons. After damaging and destroying 32 planes, the Japanese were wiped out by Yontan personnel. From Yolo's vantage point fires were seen burning on Yontan most of the night. This was all a part of Kikusui VII.

Reading kwselke's reports really let's you see the resolve of the Japanese. If we hadn't broken them with the bomb we might have fought them for years and lost a lot of troops in the process. We need something to break the terrorists will to finish that war. Not sure what it might be but it will take something similar where the losses are horrific and convinces them that to continue is futile.

Thanks Guys!
It's what's kept me going. When I got hit by the drunk driver 6 years ago and then liked to have died twice from infections from the injury fighting to keep my mangled foot and then they HAD to take my right leg off. I knew then God kept me around for a reason. And it was to finish raising him. I asked God to keep me around to buy him his first car.
All want is him to be a Good Man, a Good Father, a Good Husband and a overall Good Person.
We talk everyday about giving. I've tried to instill giving and to be honest and kind. He don't have a mean bone in his body.
I've so much fun with him. He was a Allstar Baseball player for 4 years. He excelled at Karate became a Black belt and loved it until they made them spar constantly in tournaments. He didn't like beating up smaller kids. I even felt like the competitions were like human chicken fighting?
I've taught him to respect guns. And to believe in the 2nd amendment and our constitution.
His latest thing is Air Soft competition! A giant warehouse set up for Air Soft Wars. Even our police dept trains there. Google Nashville Air Soft and take the visual tour. Really cool! And good exercise and training to handle a gun. And he's saving his money now to convert his Air Soft AR from electric to air power. He's so good about saving his money. I bet he still has some of last years birthday (July) money.
He's always since he was tiny wanted to be a Policeman or a Fireman. But he's got his goals on being a K9 Officer. I told him I'd rather him be a Wildlife Resources Officer (somewhat safer) but he's set on the K-9 unit. He LOVES animals.
We've raised two kids. He's my son's Ex Girlfriends son. My daughter and son also spoil him. And I guess I'm making up for not being there (always working) with our two. And we didn't have nothing back then. We were happy, but VERY broke. I now have both the time and money to take care of Joseph the way I would've liked to have mine. My son pays state ordered child support (even though we're raising him, it's the law?) and Joseph has never seen a dime. His Sorry so called mother, needs her pill money. We take care of him 100%. And guess we always will. As long as the Good Lord is willing!
So that's the story of us and our grandson.
Now back to the Good Music and Funny Postings! Enough of all this serious mumbo jumbo.

The engineer who came up with the idea of a spring constant was obviously an ivory tower academic out of synch and disengaged from reality.
Any real world person with a shred of common sense knows that there is no such thing as a spring "constant". A spring is NEVER where you want it, as you want it and when you want it.
In truth, the problems we have with springs can all be explained by the theory of special spring relativity. Just as light always travels at the same speed, all springs are the same size and tension. The perceived differences are an artifact of local disturbances in the space-time continuum. For example, when a spring looks too small it is because the local space-time matrix has undergone a temporary expansion. The expansion of the matrix has a natural tendency to reverse polarity, making the next spring appear too big. Only by trying enough times to satisfy the stochastic distribution is it possible to, by chance alone, arrive at an intersection of time and space such that the spring, which is the same size as every other spring, appears to the observer to fit the immediate frame of reference.

Similar to but quite opposite to the theory of elastics such as stringed instruments and archery.
