Consecutive hits on the right side had damaged the tread driving motors. They seized up when we came to a stop on the recovery craft. But the damage t... the armor was so severe that it took two days before the mechanics could even get at the motors to remove them. I think a huge part of the problem was just the extent of the damage both to the tanks and to our morale. We needed a week off after the fight.The other units also took casualties. The Wadi Infantry lost an entire company to a Sa'arm. Nope, we would go out and do some forms and then enjoy some coffee with Steve.Both of us were in shorts, t-shirts, and barefoot when we stepped out into the grass outside the patio, which was moist from the early morning dew. I did some light stretching forms to see how much each would hurt, and continued until I was putting some good pressure on the wound.I decided that was enough and went back into the patio with Janet. We both pulled a mug of coffee and sat at the table Steve always sat at.. She took her phone and played one of the reggae songs she heard at the club. She then started moving her hips and asked me if she's doing it alright. Not to make her feel bad I smiled and said shes doing a great job. After knowing m this long she knew when I am lying and when I am telling the truth.I told her it is really hard to explain, she then said well come show me. I walked up to her and grabbed her hips. I came up on her ass and swayed them side to side. She started to get the hang of it. "Don't be bust'en my chop, Ogi! I might return the favor!"The sizable man made an elaborate display of throwing up his hands."Oooo!" He muttered. "Don't hit me little lady!" The usual?" She asked quickly, noticing other customers approaching fast."But of course Mamzell!" Ogi said using his best pseudo-French accent."One beef bowl, extra spicy coming up!" You still got pork rinds?" Another of her regulars was asking."Thought your wife said to lay off?" Shit!" He griped. "Not you too?" Did Sasami.
