You got to parts store order a engine gasket kit for a year make model. They give you a box full of gaskets. While putting engine together a gasket is wrong, go back to pasts store ask for a gasket for same year make model. Gasket is $2.19 and will be here tomorrow. Now if they can pull up the right gasket why did they not know it was the wrong gasket in the kit?

Somehow I managed to shave 15 seconds off my run time from boot camp, 1.5 miles in 11:03
at Boot camp, I did it in 11:18 in 0% humidity, here, SC Swampland, I had to chew the air first

I've wondered, why a 1.5 miles? Not a mile, not two, and not a 5k? That is a good time though! Out of curiousity I though I'd try it out and I ran in 10:57 (then finished up 2 miles around 15 min). You have to chew on the air first, here it's 20% thinner so I have to find air first!

Hell, here its like running with someone running a blow dryer in your face...lungs burn the air is so hot and dry...I hate it.

At least you don't have to deal with too much aero drag.

I cheat on a tread mill, no aero drag =P But I did legitly run a 5k outdoors once in 19.5 minutes, which translates to around 9:30-9:45 1.5 mile. That was at 900ft elevation though.

So in a brief today, our SLPO (Section Leading Petty Officer) was saying something about how he dropped the F-Bomb somewhere.
I made the class groan when I said, "It's better than dropping the A-Bomb"

My last timed 1.5 was a 9:57. It was an optional PT assessment before we left for the summer and field training. Not a one of us were into it hard, because there are usually about 5 of us around 9:30, and my 9:57 was leading the pack (we had also been playing flickerball for a half hour leading up to the event). My best timed 1.5 is a 9:05 I ran after I ran a bad PFA run and I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't broke.

Generally, at nuke school, since most of us are almost stereotypical geeks, not very fit.
Though my class leader claims he can bench 310, he sure looks like it.

Oh, I should probably mention, this was directly after doing a bunch of pushups and situps

[BangShift McT]

My best 2mi was 14:42...though you must take into consideration I have the aerodynamic properties of a barn door.

I just take a car ... it's faster.
