I lied about my ignorance.

On an SH60 "Seahawk", "right" is "Starboard". View attachment 2308848


Again, that's all I know. View attachment 2308851

I wouldn't know. I've only flown on UH-60 Black Hawks. (We had a nice air wing in addition to our marine unit.)

I get it.

I've ridden a few Black Hawks in my time.



*"Portside", "Starboard", "Fore", "Aft", "Deck", "Bulkhead", "Hatch", "Port", etc....Seamen and Marines definitely have their own vernacular.

I FOUND IT! Good thing too because I wasn’t getting any work done. The sun came out and after several hours of crawling around and looking it was pinched between some logs. Valuable lesson learned.

Maybe instead of a lanyard with knots/beads, a lanyard with an Apple air tag or similar (there are Android versions as well, IIRC)?

Looking at it, I’m surprised and you’re a lucky man to have found that and especially with those scales.
Lucky lucky lucky

I keep seeing all the trade requests for DEK3s or EDCs and I'm going to have to throw my hat in the ring as well. I'm just not sure which child to offer up to the gods

If you can get @Jo the Machinist to get the orange scales in stock duramax will be your friend. He’s been harping on that for years.

Yeah, he has a bunch of them with orange scales as I recall. I think she mistook that for him being the only one that wanted them, when in fact, the greedy fartknocker just bought it all before anyone else could get any. He threw off the curve.

Like these ???

And yes I ask each and every time lol

No sh!t, Elliott (as in, ain't that the damn truth)

The great thing about this gem is that it was from my pops when he was grooming to cut me loose on the family Boston Whaler when I was 12.

(in fact, just back today from visiting them over the past 24hrs. Always special to be able to hug my parents and tell them I love them (both 84 and still hanging on to their independence!))
