You have restored my faith in the membership, at least there is one fine upstandin gent in the AZ Cobra group. I'm guessing you also are a God fearin' gun toting bloke that has brass balz, walks with a swagger, does shots, cusses, has a big swingin' stick and doesn't take **** from anyone, right?

Well, maybe your wifey beats the crap outa ya from time to time, but that's private stuff.

According to my friends in Langley most of the black-ops guys, those who were engaged in wet missions, flew deep cover and served their country with distinction have chosen Arizona as their residence during retirement. Ralphie can attest to this fact, while he won't admit it, while he was in Nam, black ops were part of the mission, so don't let that teddy bear exterior look fool ya. Ralphie, correct, wa, you're records indicate you're were one mean operative and were involved with the Advanced Aerial Fire Support System (AAFSS). AH-1G Cobras, purposely designed for ground-attack missions and deep cover excursions.

And so in your retirement you transitioned to the ground based beast called Cobra and got it all tricked out.

I'm guessing that most of the AZ Cobra membership can attest to what I have been told by my friends in Langley as being true since your weapons of choice and powerful rides are indicative of the need for speed and overall lethal stopping power to have at your disposal for use in any conflict resolution. And while the missions [read weekend excursions] continue, the absolute need to vent pent up aggression get's satiated during the visits to Ben Avery's place. Mikie, am I correct?

Just so you know, tin-man's weapon of choice is a special purpose Berretta semi automatic chambered for the Aguila 29 grain .22 (5.6mm) hollow point with a velocity of 1045 ft/ sec, that carries 70# of stopping power, absolutely lethal for double taps at close range. Its also the weapon of choice for Mossad operatives. oops.

Sorry guys digressing here, enjoy your picnic, toss back a few brews for me and remember the glory days. Hurahhhh.
