Please hug your old man for me bro, he's been through a lot. The casualty rate when I got there was 50 a day..........there were firefights all over the country.....I was a Medic, and medics were in short supply by 1970. I served with 4 or 5 different battalions in the 9th infantry. And I have been a medicinal marijuana user ever since......
Thanks man. Dad died in 2005 of lung cancer. Incidentally, in addition to dad's pension and her social security, mom draws a very nice monthly "extra benefit" from the VA, strictly because my dad's cancer -- non-smallcell carcinoma sp? -- was one listed as possibly being related to agent orange exposure during years 1965-71.. He also smoked 2-3 packs of cigs for years, so who knows. I remember him saying he had had it all over him at times, way before he was diagnosed with cancer. That shit was made by Dow and Monsato for the def dept, so that tells me plenty.

Since this isn't a carport, I thought I'd just ask what you thought of this affordable unit? 10W X 20L X 8H, polyethylene, is that worth a shit?, it comes with everything needed and I can get it for $300 complete. I'm looking to start earlier and finish later, with little to no see-thru/opaqueness and this seems to fit the bill, at least from their ad, lol. TS usually has quality stuff. I'm thinking real hard about pulling the trigger on this, since it's so cheap, I wouldn't be hurt that bad if it's junk and will still have he frame.

Sorry for your loss brother. The country lost a great one when your father died. My condolences....AO was everywhere in Vietnam. I hate to say it brother but AO saved many lives in Vietnam. In spite of all the (unknown at the time) long term health risks, they were much better than the short term risk of a VC bullet. AO allowed the pushing back of the jungle around roads, firebases, base camps, ect. The VC couldn't get so close. I would much rather die an old man with health problems, than an ak round thru the ribs at 19. The truth is AO saved many lives......short term.....respects to your family.....

That's essentially what I build out of a carport frame. Looks like a good deal.

Hey djj, I'm sure you've said it somewhere, but what do you use as a cover for your carport? I really want to get a carport for next year, was thinking of using standard black shade cloth.

If they would have had the internet like that when I was in Vietnam, I would have died a junkie in the jungles if Vietnam.......They think it makes it easier, and it only makes it worse............I'm glad I couldn't talk to anyone back home, I wouldn't have been able to hold it together..........it took me years after I got back to even allow myself to think about it.........Much Respect to those in uniform!.....
Your not alone brother!!!
