And back when I was younger, more limber, and much smaller, it was fun to do that stuff and not live in a cubicle.  

Guard duty was never fun.

I donno. Looks to me like a cold soak. The cold salt water soak to be followed, most probably, by a generous layer of sand grit. Then, salt and sand grit chaffing for 20 miles or so. That followed by several day/nights of no sleep, little food/water while laying in possition watching for something that might not even show up. All the while, getting eaten by bugs.


Funny aint it? How looking back on the adventure days, the times spent standing guard on empty buildings while it rained or snowed or was hot enough to melt asphalt, tend to get forgot.

PS. I know where all the time flies to when having fun. It saves up for when you're on guard duty.

The Judges have conferred, and the determination is in.
Foreground is artwork, background "sky" is piss poor attemt to erase background subject matter. Helicopter, and "jumper" are photo-shopped bullshit. Bullshit penalty. Loss of down, and twenty yards back.

I'd like to find that old man that stole my 20 yo body and get it back from him.
