Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
So, I should come there with low expectations and they will meet them? That place was always kinda' marginal in my book. But, one of these days we may give it another try. ha ha You're right, the real reason to get together is to visit with each other and see what's going on.

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
Steve, you know the proper Noun-Nomenclature is "Mystery Meat", and no, that is one thing I would not eat, no matter what they called it... LOL

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
For the most part, I thought Army chow was pretty good. The 1949 c-rats left a bit to be desired though.

Don't forget that after the meal you could enjoy a 4 pack of Lucky Strikes courtesy of the Army. (1956) John |

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
Hey, in 1969 we were eating C -rations that were dated 1941... Loved the lead based OD paint that would chip and fall into the cans when you used your P38 to open them... Nothing like cold Lima Beans & Ham...

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
Used to hit the drain on the helicopter to soak the white bread in fuel and use it to heat up ham and stuff.No wonder our health is bad

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
Now that you mention it, I think ours in VietNam were the same vintage. The paint was a condiment.

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
A BIG Thank You to Charlie NY
The PV's and correct gaskets made all the difference in both the '39 LZ and the '39 CS. As always, I appreciate your help. Thanks again. Vic

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
Hi Steve, ya know how you get one thing fixed and something else goes.... Well, I was driving the LZ, seeing how she would run with the new PV, I shut her off for a bit and when I went to fire her up again, she spun the starter... So, Saturday after the breakfast, I'll be pulling the starter out of the LZ to see just what went south... More Flathead fun...

Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour
Son of a gun! You are right...there seems to be always something that needs worked on but that's what makes it fun. Maybe I will follow you back after breakfast and lend a hand. Perhaps the Bendix went south but you will know for sure once the starter is removed.
