OT, It has been a long time. It's hard for me to admit though. I got an e-mail from one of my old friends from college last week and we were talkin' about school. It had been 42 years since we enrolled in college. I know you'tr glad that the bird movin' is almost done.

Those "Myth Busters" guys are unique folks. They take "Inquiring Minds" to the next level.

Engineers and EOD people live to blow stuff up. I got to do some of that in the Army and Law Enforcement.

Somethin special about blowin things up

Was at the outdoor range one day an after a clear, a guy next ta us says, "we just set some "reactive" targets out there so try not ta hit em." Well ta me "reactive" targes usualy means the black ones that turn flouescent green where ya hit em. I went about shooting ma own targets. All of a sudden the guy yells "FIRE IN THE HOLE". KA-BOOM!!! The friend I was shooting with almost had a heart attack. It was like a claymore

I remember when I was about 4 or 5 before startin school anyway, my granddad bought a 40 acre spot and it had a lot of trees on it, he farmed so he got some dynamite and he my uncle dug holes down beside the trees, put a charge in the hole and one by one hooked up a blasting cap to one of them boxes with the T handle you push down and get a boom, I can remember them lettin me shove the handle down and blowin them trees and stumps out, man I thought that was Cool.

4th of July just never was the same.

Back in the early 70s I was working in Dallas County. We got a call to down on the Trinity to check out some old dynamite that some kids had found. They had a flood over there and a lot of stuff wound up in the river, including an old wooden box of Dynamite. Dallas County SO had their own Bomb guy. He met us at the scene. He loaded it into his bomb trailer and took it an old gravel pit. He asked if any of us had any experience with explosives. I told him that I had in the Army, he he volunteered me to help him. We wired it up and shot it off. He told me I could be his assistant until he retired in a couple of years, then I could be the "Bomb Guy". I decided to pass on that. It was fun setting it off but I would not like to defuse a bomb.

Werked the bomb dog a l’il. Was kindah glad when the CO K-9 convinced the third floor the program wasn’t werth continuin’ due to lack of utilization.

I think that my hands would sweat too much for that kind of work.

Damned dog was dangerous. If he didn’t get his discovery reward as soon as he indicated he’d swat/nose at the object.

Texas Lawdog · « **Reply #32 on:** December 21, 2008, 02:14:00 PM »

That's not good. That's not my idea of an "early retirement".

Ya think they woulda pulled him from the program the first time he pulled that. Don't know many folks who'd let their future come down ta whether er not they had a dog treat immediatly at the ready. Can just imagine some poor soul reachin in his pocket an realizin he left the milk bones in the van. That's skeery.
