Almost made it... flew home from Germany on the 18th. Beautiful country, by the way.

Yep, nice country, but jeeze, what do they charge these days if you crash into a tree?
Back in '96, at Ramstein AB, the group I was with (not me personally, but a bunch of boneheads I worked with) backed a C-130E wing/aileron into the top of some sort of evergreen and broke off the top 6 feet of it...we got fined something like $12,000 by the gov't ($2K/Ft).
Does that still go on over there?

mmm Ramstein... awesome band. I still play Du Hast here at nightclub. Not something GandPa or GandMa would listen

I have their DVD here... i still wish to see them live one day

They have been banned in the USA awhile back... not sure if they're still... too bad.

I like the music, but I can do without the English translation versions of the songs, even though I don't speak German. I kinda like not knowing what they're saying, don't care what they're saying anyways, good music under those lyrics...

I'm not sure what the rules are for that kind of stuff over there.
We were fortunate enough not to clip any trees! There's one experience I can do without.

What'd you do over there?
I was USAF, TDY to Ramstein a few times with Little Rock AFB working C-130E's, Guidance&Control. Stayed in Sembach (sp?), hung out at the Irish Pub (if that's what it was called, if it's still around).

That sounds more interesting than what I was doing. I was there to update some of our global specifications for paint. Yep... I'm a paint guy. Microcontrollers are a hobby for now, and hopefully I can make a few bucks with them someday. I visited the plant sites in Neumunster, Germany and Nordborg, Denmark. Good people.... good beer!

Made a few short vid's of my OBD scanner I built. Not sure how to put the clip in the post like everybody else does it... And I can't seem find the page here that describes all the various tags (such as [code], [quote], etc) to enable it.

Here's a link to part 3 of 5. The other parts are done uploading.



Or just do a search for "Mr. Scanner ELM327" and there should be 5 to choose from.

Were you able to see everything in the 5 video clips?
I figure they were ok, but I'm a bit biased...


That's part 1 of 5, 4 more of those around there somewhere...
