What ruin is that a photo of? Not Edinburgh castle, for sure.

Always a movie for every fantasy.

At 76 I grew with all of the Ovaltine adds but we never had the stuff and to this day I've never tasted it. Any good?

Hondo

I've never understood why anyone liked Red River.
John Wayne's character is an ass. And he's a thief. And if I was the cowboy that was stealing the sugar and caused the stampede, I would blow John Wayne's head off with a shotgun from hiding.
The thing that really turned me off on Red River is not so much Wayne as pretty much a psychopath, as the fact that it all builds up to a fistfight and happy handshakes and reconciliation all 'round. Just plain weird...bizarre.

Interesting Wiki article on 'shotgun' starters:
Coffman engine starter - Wikipedia
Evidently used on a variety of engine types.

I could be wrong, but I’m not aware that cartridges were ever used in radial engines as in that movie. Good flick.
Big dramatic scene near the end as Jimmy Stewart uses one cartridge after another without success, over the wild protests of the German model airplane designer (played by Hardy Kruger, who died only recently). Radial engine. (I know nothing personal of the subject). How are cartriges typically used?

Until I first watched the original Flight of the Phoenix (a great flick with an incredible cast) I never knew airplane engines were started with cartridges.....

Cool looking aircraft, to boot.

Barbara Rush died yesterday at age 97.
She was the last surviving cast member of what is my personal favorite Western movie, "Hombre". She played the wife of the crooked Indian agent played by Frederic March.
Besides being a great movie, it had a great cast. But then, that's part of why it is a great movie.....

I watched the first one. I don't like the supersaturated HD color.

We have lots of larches; the Western larch is a native. Beautiful in the fall-- one of the few deciduous conifers, they turn a beautiful yellow.
We have a fair number of palms planted as ornamentals around here. The species is a Chinese palm; I've read that it is the only palm that grows in temperate climates.

When we'd go out on Saturday nights, we'd leave the five kids with Banquet TV dinners of various types, mostly chicken. 99 cents per back then. The kids loved 'em and remember them well decades later.

Heard it again just yesterday, when a newslady said of a miscreant that he had repeatedly flaunted the law.

But it just makes me wonder if there are people out there really dumb enough to think that that's what infamous means, or that's what a gentleman's gentleman is?
Sure. The same people who think flouting is the same thing as flaunting.

You are right.

I use a fair amount of Tabasco (regular red) but mostly not for the heat as such but as a 'brightener' as my dad used to put it. A couple of dashes in the stew pot or the soup pot, for instance. Last night I fried a mess of shrimp and did a couple of dashes in the pan.
Used in this way it definitely enhances the basic flavors, even if you can't taste the sauce itself. Like what salt does in a sense. Then those who want the heat can add it themselves.
I tend to use Frank's Red Hot when I want direct heat on something.

I never order online from Bass Pro/ Cabelas, there’s one 30 minutes from here but their prices are usually higher than the local gun shops around here. I have no use for Cabelas/Bass Pro.
I’ve checked out Sportmans warehouse online but never ordered from them.I've bought a lot of ammo from Bass. I bought one rifle. I've bought one optic and a couple of knives. I have bought a lot of their Red Head house brand casual clothes, which fit me well. Their store here is about 15 minutes away; convenient.
I have had no problems with them.

My dad told me when I was a highschooler that you can do pretty much anything you want in this society if you obey the law, and if you follow a few basic rules of social conduct. If you don't obey the law, you'll always be under someone's thumb. If you don't obey the basic rules of social conduct, you don't get invited back, you miss opportunities, you experience frustrations, and your ambitions are thwarted.
Follow this simple formula and you can pretty much do what you want, and achieve what you want to achieve. In short: avoid self-defeating behavior.
It works.

I've bought a lot of stuff from Bass, have never given them my email address or phone #, and have never had any unwanted stuff from them accordingly.
They ask for my phone # at checkout every time, and every time I just say no.

Congrats!
It'll be fun. We now have 4 great grands with two on the way. It sinks in when you realize that it means your child or children are grandparents....
