1. In the new Superman movie that just came out, Superman goes after Lex Luther after he hurt and stole his dog. You don’t mess with a man’s dog !

   I guess the Paypal doggo fund is gone into SWMNBN’s pocket ? That sucks because you could really use that money right now.

   I do find it funny that she’s like “can we talk” when the bitch hurt your dog, drained every account she could get her paws on, took your car that YOU paid for leaving you with just a bicycle AND tried to SWAT your ass it sounds like by telling the cops you had a bunch of illegal guns and mods ?

   “But I want you back baby”, I bet she fucking does especially when the bills come due.
   FUCK THAT…. This nightmare will soon be over and hopefully you will sell the house and be in a new AO with fine women in it and thanks to all of that bike riding be in good shape.

   1. Y’know I hate to comment on such doings, BCE… but… Jimmy is right about the dawgs. If your gal went after the hooplehead… oh boy… there is all kinds of wrong in that. I don’t think you can come back after crossing a line like that. And – I’d record any and all conversations from here on out. Be safe and protect yourselves.

      1. +1 on the recording everything with her. Check Floriduh law for legality. In my state, its legal to record any conversation that you are a party to with no requirement to tell anyone you are recording. …………………. Also, do NOT take back the car if she offers it to you. Waaaaay to easy to report it stolen then.You cannot be too paranoid until the papers are signed (and even after actually).

         1. ^^^ Absolutely this. And as to the car, she will probably drive the balls off it with little to no maintenance, so if she did offer to give it back later (not that I’d ever expect such a conciliatory move), I’d be reluctant to take it anyway, figuring it has been abused and turned into a shit box.

            Honestly, as much as we here like to hear updates, it might be best to keep the details quiet for now, even if she doesn’t know this site by name or URL, she certainly knew you were blogging, and even a half assed lawyer could turn this joint up and screen cap it without too much effort. Remember: anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Especially where a bitter bitch is involved.

2. catch you by the end of the week dude. Volo wagon is a good choice with the “crew”
   hope it works out for ya. really get a burner phone and put your on standby or something.
   fuck the skull sweat. as I said before, my EX never even thought about hurting me or my dog.
   she knew better. still have to find a box. I let you know when it sent.
   later. keep the faith. it just keeps getting better. you see.

3. At least in a Volvo, sounds too much like vulva… it will be a safe car. I don’t know if you have thought of a truck and a used camper, at least you can scout out different AOs and find out where in the country you would like to settle. Cheaper than rent most times and space rent isn’t a big expense. Find a storage place to stash your belongings and move every once in a while and leave no forwarding address.

   1. if his toys are anything like the ones I have. it not something you want to “stash’ somewhere and hope it stays safe. I like my toys near me. and there is no way of telling who is watching you stash your stuff when you do it as well. how many people do you trust ? a camper sounds like a good move, but with 2 dogs and cats ? might be able to rent/ borrow one though for scouting ?
      might be a bit much to handle. have Snapper make his move- hope he gets a place with a yard. he can watch your pups while you scout a new AO if you don’t go near him. just a idea as they already know him. bad thing about Volo is the price of parts. check out “Rock auto” for parts you may need for it
      after you get it that is. funny , the new Frontier is army green but shiny. wife picked it out, so don’t blame me ! I just the guy paying for it. sounds like your head is in the right place now anyway.

   2. Have you considered getting a annual pass to the national parks?
      I believe military service qualifies you for free or reduced fees.

      When my brother was in the military we would find a national park to camp at near his base while the parents were on vacation.

      1. Yes, veterans and gold star families can get a free life time pass “America the Beautiful, The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass”. Your DD-214 will probably work as will having a Veteran tag on a Real ID (ya, ya, I know, but there is nothing they get for that they didn’t already have if you ever had any sort of clearance).

4. Buddy, don’t assume she and her lawyers aren’t reading this. Assume that they are.

   1. Yep, there is no telling what a shitbag lawyer can do with a trumped up accusation of libel or defamation can do. I’d avoid all talk about the domestic situation for a while in your boots but whadda I know?

5. Yep, it’s nice not having a car payment…or a female payment. Not sure which is more costly. Bide your time and mind your money, all will be well. Pretty sure she brought the black cloud into your life. The demon has been exorcised.

6. Hm-m-m… back in the early 80s, I was one of the engineers building and testing TOWs at the factory. Tales you either already know or would prefer not knowing. In any event, we both survived.

7. Are you going to be able to keep the dogs, BC?

8. In ’85, I came out of Benning with a C2 identifier. Got Expert on qualification. In fact, so many of us qualified Expert, we had to draw straws for the live fire demonstration which was done in front of a bunch of School of the Americas Generals and Colonels who all showed up in their third-world dictator dress uniforms covered in medals. We weren’t shooting off a cliff, though. Just across a valley. The Dragons went off without a hitch. Both guys hit their targets at 1,000m, but I got to see just how god-awful slow 100m/second really is and figured that thing was nothing but a deathwish for the operator.

   It was one of the TOW guys who got screwed. One was shooting off the tripod, and my buddy was shooting from an ITV. Tripod guy went first and hit his target at what looked like a mile away. My buddy in the ITV fired and the wire broke and it went into the ground a hundred meters in front of him. You should have seen that brass scramble!

   When I got to my first duty station at Ft. Carson, I never mentioned the Dragon identifier and asked my new squad leader if I could have the M60, and thus began a 3 year love affair with a pig.

9. Anyone that hurts an animal, except to eat it, mannnnn….that’s way over the line evil. Nothing like a faithful dog…

   Hey Big Crunchy: I’ve had my Tundra for 25 years, and it’s been very reliable. I can’t recommend Toyotas enough. Drives like it’s new, but I given it all the regular maintenance, too.

   I’ve heard Vulvas used to be reliable, but not anymore. I dunno; just what I’ve heard.

   Yeah, I think it’s really cool there are women here. They really aren’t any worse than men if ya think about it. Just wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy different.
   The ones here seem Purdy fearless, and chill.
   My wife actually was a Puddle Jumper same time as me (‘88-‘92), and when we first started dating, we didn’t tell anyone cuz we knew back then women sailors were considered “morale gear.“ Whenever she got to a new station, they all treated her like that, until they figured out they couldn’t get in her pants. Then they respected her, and she got along great with them.
   OK, funny story time for the crayon eaters:
   One time she loaned 20 bucks to a Squid, and he wouldn’t pay her back; he just didn’t care. So, a couple Jarheads overheard the conversation and gave her 20 bucks, then turned to the Squid and said now you owe us 20 bucks. He promptly paid, problem over.
   I have a lot of respect for the Jarheads.

   1. Toyoyas used to be great rides. I had a few of them over the years. 4 runners for the most part.
      still have a 94 4ruuner I trying to get back on the road. last 4runner I had was a 2016. yup a MALL WAGON, nothing like the old 4runners. had 79,000 miles on it and it was a mess ! trans was acting up. steering was shit even after spending 700 on it. and then the dash lights came on and off at will ? last pickup was 2007 . great ride.
      insurance company and shop fucked me on it- totaled it and made a killing on the parts.
      anyway, anything below 2000 should be good to go if it runs. anything made in the 1980’s or so
      GRAB IT. sold my 1989 4runner in 2 days on craigslist . guy came 3 states away with a trailer to take it home. the 22r engine is the best ever. buddy down the road just bought a tundra and traded it in 3 months later. so, they not what they used to be. I just grabbed a Nissan frontier as it was a better deal
      and I can turn off all the crap ! Nissan is the ONLY new car/truck where you can do that.

10. I had a Volvo, built like a tank and ran forever. I was young and foolish and traded it in for something fast and sporty. What a fool! Hondas used to be extremely good cars, nowadays it is hit and miss. I saw a young thing in a cute Toyota the other day. Being a clever girl, I’m sure, she had a Yoda above the name tag and changed the tag to read “Toyoda”.Yes, lots of young men smiling and waving. Always have a sense of humor about your wheels. A KOA campground pass is good. They are clean, safe as anything these days, and I am sure you’d get the military discount. Between that and the parks, you could go anywhere. Pets are extremely good traveling companions. I see many young women who could also benefit from the rules list. Obese, tatted up, foul mouthed, and loud is not a way to live your life. Oh for the days of 1930 or 1940, when families were intact and their young women were thin and beautiful. Can’t wait to hear about the bike!!

11. Bike riding is how I started losing excess ballast.

    I got in super shape after my divorce. Since there’s no drama, and no one else’s hands on my time I’m able to concentrate on my physical and spiritual health. I literally have a sixpack under that old man baggy skin. I was 275 when I started, Now I’m 190. So that stuff won’t be going away unless a surgeon trims it.

    Fuggit. I’m not that vain.

    Get fit, and you’ll be amazed the number of women around all of a sudden. In your (and my) target age group, they are plentiful. Frankly, I wasn’t ready for that. Your age, if fit, puts you in the top 10%. By the time I signed the papers, I was going on a date a week. Sometimes two.

    The only mistake I made was trying to text, talk, and email the ex that first month or two. Big mistake. Months ago I was visiting my oldest. Every time the subject comes up, she’ll say Herself isn’t in a good place. Last time she said that, I told her that her mom deserves everything she has coming her way. We haven’t talked about her since. She doesn’t volunteer, I don’t ask. I don’t care.

    Once that bond of trust is gone, there’s no going back. Every dude that I’ve seen do that has paid the simp toll.

    BTW – it’s been my observation that many, if not most, women have zero understanding of the love and loyalty a dog has for it’s dude owner.

12. Good to hear you’re losing weight through exercise (said exercise wanted or not). Did you lose weight with your cancer? How is it comparing?

    I dropped 20 lbs in under a month after the Swedish Girl bullshit. No appetite. Would prolly have been more if I hadn’t been drinking (but I’m a traditionalist). Anyway, by week three I was sick of the self pity, stopped the booze, and hit the gym. Also, it was taking a LOT more booze to get blotto — basically I was stress testing my liver and the old liver passed with flying colors, cranking out alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases like a champ. But I digress.

    Years later I catch a nasty case of lymphoma and start chemotherapy. Dropped 20 lbs during/after the first round, which took three weeks. Lesson learned? Swedish Girl and cancer fucked me up equally. But SG also helped me out, unknowingly.

    So round 4 of chemo they made me get a flu shot (unbelievably stupid). I got a pulmonary empyema (pus in the lung) as a result. They put in two chest tubes to drain it. It was loculated (multiple pockets) so they put in a THIRD chest tube. Which sucked. I was feeling sorry for myself until I remembered the last days with SG. “Mike,” I said to myself, “you’ve been through worse.” And I perked right up. Tack så mycket, Älskling. (Enough problems and they start solving each other.)

    1. What’s between Norway and Finland?

       Stupid.

13. here the thing that always pissed me off about women. they could be tubs of lard and demand a dude
    be 6 foot, rock hard abs and make 6 figures at least ?
    and they can’t push the spoon away long enough to be a normal size?
    used to work in health care and hospitals and they all thought that way ?
    YES. even the ones at 5 foot nothing and 180 pounds easy did.
    and if they have kids from another guy. they even worse if that possible.
    unreal. truth is if you in halfway decent shape, have a house/job/ride , you have no problem finding
    ladies. hell, they find you.

14. Volvo parts are stupid expensive. esp early 2000’s. Like VW is a crappy car with german car prices adn reliability, same idea. It thinks it’s a luxury car so the parts cost that much.
    There’s a reason it’s cheap.

    Early 2000’s honda/toyota sedan is what you seek.

15. It’s not always about the in shape. I could care less. Mine has a mind like a bacon slicer, and he’s kinder than anyone else I know, and he shares his fries. I made it clear that if my kids or my dog didn’t like him, there was no shot. Its been 20 yrs.

16. I went from 250lbs to 195lbs when I began riding my bicycle 12-14 miles a day.

    I’m in the Florida Panhandle countryside and it’s a great, safe place to bicycle.

    I am on track to exceed three thousand miles this year.

    Even when I overindulge, the daily exercise keeps ill effects to a minimum.

    Stick to a mostly keto organic diet and soon you’ll have no health issues at all: no joint pain, no heart problems, never get colds / flus.

    1. Beef tallow too I hear is solid for health diet… Protection from booze.

17. in the ’90’s there were two modifiers for some airborne MOS types:
    P – paratrooper
    S – special operations

18. Fmr 82nd Abn TOW PL here. Our gunners held the MOS 11H1P, the suffix P for parachutist, one each. You might have a Squad leader who had come from the Ranger Regiment, and his personal (not duty) MOS was 11H3V. V(ictor) for Airborne-Ranger qual. (TOWs on 1\4 ton trucks – jeeps.)

    My buddy was a TOW Platoon Sergeant in E-325, the TOW company assigned to 2nd Brigade, 82nd. (Yes, TOW Company.) Left SF with bad knees, personal MOS, 11H4G. G-Special Forces.

    Sorry to hear about your personal situation, btw…

19. Bike riding works best when you spin. Change gears to keep the legs going about 90 rpm and you will burn calories. I hate to think how manny times I pass someone an a bike that was round.

    Glad things are going well for you and a brown Volvo would be discrete. I’m sure you will do the right thing. The best thing in life are bros. Ever up this way I got a brew with your name on it.

20. I am immensely curious as I keep getting links to this website from WRSA – how does an a “11” series get reclassified into a “92” supply clerk as an E4?

    Are you also trying to state that you were smarter than others that enlisted as an “11X”, and the Army choose you because you were smarter than 11B’s to launch a wired guided dummy proof POS from a track or a humvee?

    Where on your DD214 does it show the “qualifiers” you speak of?

    1. OK
       I enlisted as a 11H at the end of 1989. Basic AIT in time for Gulf One
       I got involuntarily reclassed to 19K in LATE 1996 when the TOW MOS was being phased out. I’d have to dig out my 214 to see exactly. Not that it matters.
       After my spine being crushed, I got assigned first to the 3 shop, and then when they realized I was a good scrounger, I got moved to the 4 shop to bide my time until my MedRet went thru.
       The 92 was an OJT as I was the Battalion Scrounger/Thief essentially, with the CSM and BC’s blessing. I was a good thief.
       Post DotMil?
       I then spent almost 7 years as a Loggie in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan BECAUSE of my certifications I had to get to be a good OJT 92 and do the job back in the day. It ALSO helped that my S-4 SNCO was the one who got me ‘into’ contracting… ULLS-G/SAMs and then eventually AWRDS and GCSS-A… I’ve NEVER claimed to be smarter by any means… in fact I was a retard in NOT going Air Force looking back… but by your own comments, it sounds like -someone- has a severe inferiority complex and case of unwashed smegma-breath.

       Also, your username “11B2CV” comes up rather strangely… 11B Infantry… the 2 indicates an E-4 and the C??? UUSALLY a Mortar Maggot Code… and then the V apparently means Airborne (new code… I had no idea…) but running 11B2CV comes up with this: “The code “11B2C” refers to a Bomber Pilot, B-52″ which tells me you’re full of shit. As far as WRSA? I’ve been frens w/CA for years, and has seen and knows my bonafides, unlike you mister Rando-Comes-To MY HOUSE and throws shit on the walls. I’d like to say Thank you for Playing, you’re banned.

       1. Victor suffix means both airborne and Ranger qualified – sua sponte

21. To All,
    I LOVES me my Toyota, a 2000 4Runner (Gen 3, 1998-2002 model year), over 250K miles.
    Purchased in 2014 with 183K miles.
    I’ve had to do normal maintenance (oil change, brakes & rotors, trans fluid, tires, etc).
    Plus I’ve had to do other maintenance on suspension etc. Pricey, but doable. Hey! It’s a 25 year old car!
    I keep a record of everything done to her to keep her (her…..awwww) alive and on the road.
    As I said, I loves my Toyota.
    Toyotas may cost more on the front end ( if you can find an older used one – don’t buy a new one – see below), but they’re worth it on the back end for repair, parts,and maintenance.
    New Toyota trucks have gone the way of many woke auto makers trying to meet Gooberment CAFE standards; smaller engines, turbos, higher RPMs, faster wearout. Check the engine specs before plunking down yer cash.

    1. true that. sold my 89 4runner inside of 2 days. guy came from 3 states away with a trailer.
       at first he wanted it for his kid. as he had a 88 runner. until he started it up and drove it.
       he was going to fix it up for himself and give his 88 to his kid.
       the engine was rebuilt in 2000. 040 pistons and block shaved and head trued. valves redone with 3 angle
       seat job. ported and polish head and intake. high toque cam. bottom end was balanced.
       what it needed was a GOOD body shop. as rust was starting to start on it. underside was done. new springs and bars- upgraded ones. a extra gas tank installed- 15-17 gallons.
       it was a great ride for almost 26 some odd years. then I hurt my back- bad. hard to drive it like.
       didn’t want to sell it really, but it was just sitting there doing nothing.
       figured someone wanted it. and I was right. another thing about them. remove the air pressure in the tires to 15-20 psi and you can ride the rails ! easy once you get the hang of it.
       it was my bug out ride after all.

       1. try to find one with a 22r engine in it. it will outlast anything else. their v6 engines a bit of trouble
          or problems. early 1980’s anything with a 22r and carb is golden !
          with some care it will outlast you even.

          1. I have the V6, I haven’t had any problems so far.
             Changed the spark plugs and wires once, thought it would increase gas milage. Nope. Same 15-16 mpg as it ever was. I keep expecting to have to change the plugs and wires again, and I guess eventually I will. But so far (5+ years later), it hasn’t been necessary.

             I DID have one major problem early on when I bought it, the trans crapped out when I was hauling a small Casita trailer. Apparently the engineers took the radiator, and divided so that part of it was for radiator coolant for the engine, and part of it was trans oil for the trans. Guess what happens when you get two dissimilar fluids across a metal barrier? Corrosion. Leakage. The trans had to be totally rebuilt, the only thing salvaged was the shell. During the trans replacement, a separate trans oil cooler was added behind the new radiator. Upped my tow rating by a large leap.
             If you’re looking at a Gen 3 4Runner, look for two coolers at the front of the engine. This may also apply to other newer and older Toyota haulers (Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, Highlander, Sequoia, there maybe others)
             (If you find an old HiLux diesel, grab it! It’s gold!)

             1. that is the holy grail of toyotas. the HiLux diesel. next is the old 22r with a carb. and those are hard to find. most are owned by people who will not sell them.
                I like the old F-40s but do not have the cash to get one. the cheapest one I saw was over 100k
                rebuilt and that was years ago now.
                I did think about stripping out the v6 in the 94 and putting in a 22r engine but I need a garage
                to do that. and my back is not up to that kind of work anymore. still have a lot of my old tools and whatnot but without the back to do the work,,,
                anyway, I still trying to get the 94 4runner running again. kind of weird though. power windows and other nice things I didn’t have on my old 89
                ac runs great though.
