Did you guys catch in the news that the US Army is purchasing several hundred or more Carl Gustaf Rocket launchers. These will be used in place of the far more expensive javelin system for engaging insurgent positions in hardened shelters.

I believe the thermobaric round is going to be the primary vs. HE or HEAT.

Technically it's a recoilless rifle and believe me, you do NOT want to fire one with a hangover!!!

Guys, I'm tired. Between the medication for mental illness, Tricare refusing to approve Nuvigil for me anymore, and pain and lack of quality sleep from pain of fibromyalgia and ostoarthritis (and a little dog named Winston who has to be let out 1-4 times a night due to his diabetes, I'm just beat. And it goes beyond the physical; I'm emotionally and mentally exhausted.

I'll still do site updates and the occasional special request (I'm doing one now), but they'll come fewer and further between and will probably contain less data. I'll probably skip around and update or put in what new information interests me at that time, instead of slogging through the site updates in order. If you spot an error, it may be fixed immediately...or fixed whenever. That doesn't mean you don't hold my feet to the fire anymore; it just might take a while before I make a correction.

I need to learn to relax and do things just because instead of slogging through the site updates like there a job. With my own illnesses, taking care of my elderly and often erratic mother, and day to day stuff, I have my hands full. So as far as my site, things will slow down considerably.

Paul, as a result of you mentioning fibromyalgia a number of times over the years, my curiosity pushed me to read up on the condition. It seems to me that having it must really suck. And it's such a complicated, hard to pin down syndrome, it seems. It must have taken years and years for you and your physicians to firstly correctly diagnose it, then many more years to find a treatment that works for you. You must be one seriously tough individual to continue caring for your mum and your animals while dealing with your own, seriously debilitating illnesses. You sure have my respect, man.

No worries, Paul. Take care of yourself. You can rest easy in the knowledge that you've done more than just about anyone else out there for the T2K community at large. We appreciate you. Thanks for everything.
