How about a load of powdered coffee creamer to go with your sugar?

WOW! What a mess!

Only if it catches on fire.

Have you ever seen what powdered coffee creamer does when expelled into an open flame? It's like throwing in gasoline.

Ordinary flour is combustible too.

What worries me is how you would know this in the first place.

Mythbusters and the military.

A topless 55 gallon drum, dug in at an angle and blocked at the base, then filled with the right ingredients(mostly thickened diesel fuel and all the metal garbage you can find) and primed with half a block of C-4 or a Claymore anti-personnel mine makes for a very effective frontal assault deterrent.

The Claymore APM can even be rigged with a trip wire, et joila. Flaming bloody ducks.

I take it your time in the Gulf of Tonkin was all spent aboard a ship?

You can do about the same thing with an ammo can and a trip flare. Then you point from your foxhole and say "Trip flare!" when it goes off. Because it's against the Geneva convention to use booby traps.

For the past few days I've been running over the 'roller coaster'....Local talk for Hwy 129 North from Thessalon, ON to Aubrey Falls Provincial Park,ON. A narrow 2 lane hwy? maximum speed, 50mph IF you have guts enough to do it. In places, if it isn't up hill, (3rd gear max) then it is down hill with a sharp curve at the bottom. Every one of the curves on the map is connected to either a up hill or a down hill. You can't get a run at the hills because of the sharp curves/corners. I am trying to get a good video of this haul.

I've done the left of that map in '78 from Green Bay in a nasty ice blizzard (Chicago's O'hare was closed) to gain the Mackinac bridge to Detroit thru to Philly. The bridgemaster couldn't believe I was taking a rig onto the , bridge (Heated) and advised a lot of caution as a "lot of cars would be following in my tracks". I cut it kind of fine; Made it to Toledo to a 'half card' fuel station pulled into the pumps and listened to my engine rattle down...outta fuel!. I had to reprime the fuelfilter! From which we get the expression: Holy Toledo !

At a 1/4 tank on the gauge I am looking for fuel. But I carry 4 company cards plus my own cards. I ran out of fuel once

and that was once too often.

It is odd that everybody we (the allied forces) fight cannot use the same tactics as the ones we are fighting. We gotta take a knife to a gun fight.

Oy, I hate routes like that. Especially with no shoulders, and steep hills and sharp curves....my poor old Cascadia doesn't have a lot of power, so on full loads I am roaring along at 25 mph -- a bundle of nerves.

Looks like I am sitting today in Gary, IN, my next load is not until tomorrow. That's twice in a week I've had to sit a day. Well, I just checked my last pay statement and I got a sizeable increase, so I guess it's all good (great, actually!).

We used them. Hence the "Trip Flare" declaration.

It kept the nasties well away from the B-52's.
