Alpo Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Actually I can understand that. "I'm a soldier damn it, not a prison guard! You want me to take care of this prisoner problem? Line them up against the wall! 'Ready! Aim!! Fire!!!'." Like if I was hired as a biologist, and the boss informs me that his car is dirty and I need to go wash it. That's not what I was hired for. You don't like having a dirty car? I'll go drive it off cliff for you. Solve that little problem. Quote

DeaconKC Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Actually there are three grades of those convicted; residents, who are just there for a few days or months, inmates, who are general boogerheads whose word is no good and Convicts, these are the genuine tough guys, but their word is good. Convicts are the ones who get Trustee assignments, because while they will try to get away with some stuff [stealing something to make hooch, etc] they just laugh when you catch them and will do a good job for you. That's why you will see bikers as the trustees in jails [once they've sobered up]. 3 Quote

'18 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. 6.4 liter (392 ci) engine, 6-speed manual transmission, 3.92:1 limited-slip rear diff. The automatic transmission is faster in the quarter mile, the manual is more fun in twisty canyon back roads. Low-miles garage queen, ceramic coated, mostly cosmetic mods. On edit: My favorite modification was the first, a cargo net in the trunk. I stopped and bought something somewhere, put it in the trunk. No damage done, but it sure did not stay where I put it. Second favorite modification is a Barton shifter. I get the gear I want when I want it, none of that OEM slop. I want a certain gear, I get that gear. Edited January 27 by John Kloehr 2 3 Quote

Buckshot Bear Posted January 30 Author Posted January 30 A WEDDING AT STANTHORPE’S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - 1872 Stanthorpe Presbyterian Church A notable wedding in Stanthorpe in December 1872 featured Robert Mungall, a local draper, and Miss Jean Farrier Matthews, captured in William Boag's photographs. The ceremony took place at the rustic Presbyterian 'bark church', reflecting the town's early mining-boom, pioneer, and optimistic atmosphere. 2 1 Quote

Buckshot Bear Posted January 30 Author Posted January 30 Thora(Toots) Holzheimer Inducted into the Shell Rimula Wall of Fame at Reunion 2000. There is perhaps no other woman in Australia better known for her truck driving skills than Toots. With husband Ron they drove their trucks on the Cape York track. The road stretched 1000 miles over some of the most treacherous and isolated country in Australia and Toots averaged fifty trips a year for twenty five years. She did all her own loading and unloading and was more than capable of changing tyres, springs and axles by the roadside.Toots and her ageing 25.280 MAN truck more than held their own on the road. She dug herself out of bogs and crossed swollen crocodile infested swamps in the wet and battled bulldust and corrugations in the dry. When the others stopped she kept going. Other truckies soon learnt to wait until Toots made her decision before making a move themselves. Renowned for her colourful language, Toots was a bit of a rough diamond but she never failed to give a hand when needed. Toots was always surprised at the attention the media gave her truck driving ability. To her it was just a job and one she was bloody grateful to have. Toots was accidently killed in 1992 when she was crushed by a load of pipes at the wharf in Weipa while loading. It was an untimely death to an Aussie icon. 3 1 Quote
