what do you do for the trail crew? like.. build trails? rofl
build trails and primitive bridges, maintain current trails, clear trails of fallen trees (theres a lot more of them than you'd think, thanks to wind storms, avalanches, etc) Most of the work is done in federal Wilderness, so its done using axes/pulaskis and crosscut saws. It doesn't pay very well, but I get paid to hike in the mountains. And i'm in the best shape of my life. Nothing like doing 3 and 4 day back packing trips carrying 50-70 lbs of gear over high mountain passes, while swinging a pulaski and pulling on a saw.

No, he wanted you to keep your grubby hands off his 15 year old paint on his top of the line American sports/muscle car.

Your entire stance is based off the attitude that an early 90s Corvette, one that you admit was obviiously taken care of, isn't worth the effort for you to keep nice. Well, I don't like those cars either but you HAVE to respect his attitude.

The next time you see an 81 Civic Wagovan, or a super clean CRX, and go "wow that's nice," take thirty seconds to ponder that the only reason those cars exist is because they think exactly like your -----retentive Corvette owner who expects you to wear gloves. If you like seeing clean old ---- vs new car mentality *******, then put on a pair of ----------ing gloves next time, bag the driver seat, lay a mat in the floorboard, and use a ------- fender cover. It's simple respect.

Laser tag is fun.

Except when a friend's 12 year old daughter destroys you at the game.

The U.S. Army utalizes a high-tech version of laser tag during training to simulate weapons fire from rifles, RPG's, and main battle tank armement. A rifle will "kill" personel but not a truck or tank. An RPG will kill a gound-pounder and light vehicles but not a tank. And a tanks main gun will kill ANYTHING it points at. I wonder how much that set-up costs the tax-payers.
