Uncle Sam had me do enough camping.  Now, bring an RV and that's about as "camping happy" as I can get.

I still hunt like nobody's business though.

Band of Brothers is a great book.  I read it several times before I even knew about the HBO series.  Anything by the late Stephen Ambrose is a phenomenal read.

Holy crap!!!!!  I'm not the only history major around here.  I didn't think anybody ever majored in that.  I don't feel alone anymore. :)  FWIW, I don't have a double major, but am about 6 hrs shy of having a second in Political Science.   I'm going to start  my Masters next year and it will focus on WWII.

Good luck Ryan on that paper.  I remember those days.

So I know that Matt_Fury uses Bose QC3 over-ear headphones with his iPod, but what does everyone else use?  I just bought a pair of Sennheiser CX-400 headphones and think they are great.  I'd recommend them to anyone that uses in-ear headphones.  Anyone else have headphone recommendations?

I use Phillips behind the ear sport headphones.  I can't stand stuff in my ears and these are perfect for running/lifting as I can just run the cord up through my shirt or wrap the excess cord around my arm band.  Oh yeah, and my iPod is the 8GB nanochormatic in black.  I haven't yet convinced myself I really need an iPhone.  I just can't justify the expense.

Good looking stuff guys.  But you're killing me.  I can't even remember the last time I made a SW purchase (excluding my Wii Lego Star Wars).  I've been debating getting back in, but just don't have the inclination to do so right now as I'm not sure what I even want.

Dan Browns "Angels and Demons" for me right now.  My wife loved the book and said I would, but I've waited a few years to read it.  She wants to go see the movie when it comes out, so I decided I need to get through the book first.

I wish I had as much time to read as some of you guys.  Having a little girl has limited how much I've been able to read lately.

Cool stuff Paul. 

I can speak from first hand experience, simulated rounds do not do the Ma Deuce justice to how loud it really is.  Awesome weapon with an incredible amount of firepower.

Every time I see this thread, I keep telling myself to stick up the pics of the stuff I've got right now.

Sounds like they are trying to tactfully say this movie will be the biggest suck job of the summer.  Gee, I can't wait.

I realized after getting about 15 pages in, that the story seemed really familiar.  Then it dawned on me I had already read "Atlantis Found" but had done so in hardback.  So I'm shipping it to a few of my buddies in Iraq looking for books to read and I've picked up "Bloody Bremen" to read.  It's about the last major engagement in Europe during WWII, fought mainly by Montgomery and it was thought at the time he was being relegated to a rear/flank guard position.  He ended up putting the final nail in Nazi coffin from the West.

That B-17 was flying around Dallas again this week.  The Liberator is here too, apparently the last one flying.

I'm heading down there Sunday to get some new pictures. :)

Rob, I saw that B-17 Tuesday night on the way to play ball and was thrilled to death.  This morning my wife and I were out and saw the B-24, as well as a P-51 that was flying off it's wing, almost in an escort formation.  It was a sight to see, especially for a WWII buff like me.

Trying to get psyched for the last day for the work week for me.  I might also add this is a fantastic album and is great workout music.

Just finished the autobiography of Don Malarkey, one of the platoon sergeants in Easy Company, 101st AB in WWII.  His part was acted by Scott Grimes in the Band of Brothers series.  You might also know Grimes as playing Dr. Morris on ER.  Pretty good book and a quick read.

Now I'm going the novel route for a few weeks and then I'll delve back into history.  Not sure what will come after this, but for now the following is what I'm working on.
