When I was in Afghanistan I was on a mission driving a Load Handling System, a flatbed truck about the size of a school bus, except with height and width reversed. Someone got a gun truck stuck and they asked me to pull it out. They already tried with another gun truck, but it wasn't getting anywhere. However, they told me to wait, saying that if my truck got stuck they couldn't pull me out. Eventually they made it work, but the tow chains kept coming loose, and when they did the loose end flew pretty far!

Imagine the damage that could do outside of a barren desert!

[In Arizona it could take out a cactus, but Afghanistan was just sand and dust!]

As I recall I mentioned that I couldn't work on my laptop because I needed to build a ramp and I have been updating.

I got on my laptop this morning and couldn't connect to the Internet. It has the same problem that my old one does and I spent a while trying to resolve that without success.

Have I mentioned not wanting to troubleshoot a brand-new computer?
