Hello my friends,
I have returned, on the same shitty BMW from last year. :doublefinger:
Just to keep the nonsense to a minimum and not drag this out toooooo terribly much, I signed up with the 140th @ Buckley AFB as an F16 crew chief and I'll be shipping out sometime between July and August (supposedly).
I'm still going to college, just doing the Air National Guard thing right now and possibly active duty if I can pull off a pilot slot after I get my degree (ATV4 Professional Pilot @ Metro State). Fingers crossed.
The beater beemer is still running like a champ (just can't kill the SOB even at damn near 75K miles). I didn't winterize it other than putting some stabil or whatever the hell it is in the gas tank hoping it would just die from being parked. But I went to start it the other day and she fired right up with no issues. Paints still looking great after I washed all the dust off. Spark was a little weak initially but its all fine and dandy now after an 80 mile city ride. The weird thing is, it actually feels like its running even better than it did last season (60 degree temps the past couple days obviously but still).
I continue to be amazed by the quality of BMW machines. Obviously Guns, Bombs, and Goose can kill them with ease but holy hell. :wtf:
Still planning to sell it hopefully sooner rather than later so I can move on to moar powah. Just need to get a new front tire and a service appt to make sure everything is still bueno. More details on that later next month most likely.
Anyway, I'll be getting back into the routine fairly quick so I'll start seeing you guys out in the canyons again soon.
