? ?Maybe if I could have opened them up and dumped the stuff in that "trick" might have helped. But with all of those unguarded open sided ports on the laptop and a lack of the "specialty tools" required (A**HOLES!!!), the flooding was too extensive. = Considering the cowardly nature of those darn little zapper sprites to defend their home turf from the soggy's invasion and a predisposition to look for any excuse to vacate their "cherished" homelands (I think they must be French!), things were pretty much settled within the first few seconds of conflict. (Yep, definitely French!? LOL)?
?
? ?The "Good News" is that my phone at least seems to still be TRYING to work. = A bit fritzy, but I can get and send calls at least. Pretty darn critical considering that none of the Wife's Medoes seem to want to use our over-priced landline service. == Small blessings, as they say. <PHEW!!!>?
? ?Can't seem to do internet linkup though. Go Figure! == Yep. Definitely suspect the hand of those darn Xeno-DemoCommies behind all of this!!! . . . . Ah, well. Who wants to listen to all of their or their "opposite" numbers equally bombastic prattlings anyhoo!!! I'll know soon enough what's going on when I see those Blue Helmets trying to march down our streets. = NOT in THIS "Small Town"!!!? LOL?

> " There is no R/C involved. The Panz IV is a WIRED remote control model. " <?
?
? ?Yeah, I caught that from what you said and the photos.?
? ?RCing a Model that you don't intend on "Putting Through Its Paces" is > Just For The FUN Of It <, and RCing is still more FUN than just Remoting! . . . . But I've dinked around with a number of Thrift Store/Garage Sale Remote TOYS over the years, where a few of the OLD ONES actually surprised me with their durability. Considering what they are dumping on the market these days, it seems that other than those willing to invest MEGABUCKS and/or do a lot of "Upgrades" (Like YOU!) most of the new RC ain't much better than the old Remote TOYS! . . . . But, I reckon, that you can say about the same thing for full size vehicles these days as well. <sigh>?

> " Like the Jap said, invade and there will be a gun behind every blade of grass ... " <?
?
? ?Yeah, it's one thing to invade a country and even to conquer it . . . . it's a whole nother ball game to occupy and hold it!!!?
?
? ?I keep wondering how many more times THAT particular lesson has to be learned by the Political-Military Elites before it FINALLY takes root?????
? ?Even over just the past few decades, let alone CENTURIES, WHEN have we seen even ONE example of a BIG SHITE being able to successfully takeover and HOLD even the smallest most backward PissAnt 3rd World ShiteHole????
? ?No matter how many troops are sent, no matter how much money gets spent, no matter how slick the Tekno Toyz are . . . . eventually, it just all goes right back to being that same small backward PissAnt 3rd World ShiteHole with the Big Shite paying the price IN SPADES!!! In fact, it's usually the little PissAnt who comes out way ahead!!!?
?
? ?The ChiComs with their "Salami Campaigns" seem to be about the only ones slowly gaining more real-estate, but even there they really haven't gained anything of any actual national benefit aside from more actual headaches!?
?
? ?The ONLY ONES who are actively gaining on every front and HOLDING those gains against the BIG SHITES themselves . . . . are the Ragheads!!! And doing it all without ever having to fire a single shot!!!!!! --AND-- getting the BIG SHITES to PAY THEIR WAY to do it at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!?
?
? ?Sorta "Funny" how we don't see or read about THAT particular scenario in any of those blockbuster war stories or even to be found in any military academy's brASS HAT training manuals!!!! === GO FIGURE! Right????? ?
