Ahh that's right, he's enlisting. The range masters will love him for sure! There are sporting options for military members, I knew a tri-athelete out in Medical Lake who was enlisted in the AF and they allowed him to compete.
I'm to the point of just fully rebuilding this engine given I have it down to the block now. If anything it really gets me prepared to tackle my old Yota that had the bottom end go.
We haven't tried the vending yet, we just got a half not too long ago so don't really need more but they have some great cuts and various packs of ground.
I had a couple hikes then a flight from a new place west of Deer Park with the flying club. 9 of us flew with a couple getting some solid altitude. My calves are still on fire though...

Yep, he’s already sworn in, did the MEPS thing. The president of our rifle and pistol range competed in and won the gold medal in the Olympics for pistol while in the Marines, so I’m sure the boy has options. One of the hubs rifle team kids (the one who went up 4H nationals) joined the Marines and strangely enough did beyond well at marksmanship, his range master did love him in fact. 😂
Hope the block rebuilding progressing nicely. My eyes cross a little bit thinking about that project.
Also hope your calves are less sore. I started trail running again so I have sympathy, empathy, and compassion calves pain right along with ya😁
And now, back to trauma class! Then DBT skills training! Hope all is well!

That's perfect that he has the examples. I hope he pursues it while in.
It's weird but the the images are still emblazoned in my brain of my dad working on engines and heads and taking them apart my whole life. I can still see the processes he did as I am working on mine. It's actually not to terribly difficult now that I am in it, it's just tedious and frustrating, and still not knowing exactly is the clanking sound I have been hearing...
The hike was a battering ram in hopes of forcing my ass to get back to running so you have me beat there buy a long shot. My mind and body are in a constant battle over just doing it and excepting the inevitable pain so I haven't been able to begin again. Maddening I tell you. But my calves are screaming still and I don't think I would make it to the end of the drive way at the moment so sometimes rest is mandatory.
Trauma... there is a nuance to talking with with people in trauma and grief that is very individual to each situation. I have two fence posts now in my life, one at 12 and then today. I'm going to have to write a post about it since the 12 year old experience was pretty intense.
