The perfect backpack?

The SPEAR system, designed by and for Special Forces in conjunction with Gregory. Very nice design, but still a bit high priced. Retail is ~$1k, they occasionally go on ebay for around $400.

The battle of Bull [Float]?

This past weekend, I was allowed the joy of playing around in a mess of concrete as the slab was poured for the building in which I will become wedded to the sweetest, most precious, beautiful girl in all the world. :) My dear brothers graciously allowed me (Carlos Cortocircuito) the happy diversion of playing with the bull float, to the merry amusement of all present. LOL... ;)
