I served on a US Navy destroyer in 1970 that was shelling the coast of North Vietnam. We all got the Vietnam Service Medal, combat pay, and I got the Michigan Vietnam Bonus when it became available. I would never be comfortable calling myself a combat veteran. Vietnam vet is good enough for me.

That knock kneed negro needs his face and paws duct taped up.

Finishing up a Honda CRF450R crankshaft for some flat trackers out in Texas area. Lot of these late model bikes have switched over to a plain lower rod bearing instead of the normal roller bearing. In the past most of the racers opt for Carrillo rods but I'm seeing more and more of these Wossner con rods which are probably a good choice.

What brand is it? Looks like Snap-on, possibly S-K Wayne?

Replaced the center seals and bearings on this ROTAX Type 582 ultralight crankshaft today. Also replaced all the seals on the rotary shaft. Going to start final assembly tomorrow.

Truing up the first batch of jet ski cranks of the year...

I've still got my first Marshall catalog.

Just finished up the last batch of personal watercraft crankshafts. Got some actual snow today so the phone has started ringing.

dismissed "without prejudice"....somewhat worrisome. But I believe it will totally disappear, which it should.

First snowmobile crankshaft of the 24-25 season. It's a Yamaha, and as such needed very little. Yamaha definitely built the best two-stroke snowmobile crankshafts.

Canadians are badass when they need to be...

Drafting? Is drafting banned??

Just finished up a Yamaha YZ250F crankshaft rebuild. Wish they were all this easy, but the twins and triples are coming....

What was your rating? I was a BT on a WW2 destroyer in '70-'71. South China sea.
