Of course it's been re-engined a couple of more times

Maybe there are still bargains at gun shows, but I haven't seen one in a long time. Anything new or easily available used is cheaper online. I'll go if I'm in the mood, but my expectations are low and I'm usually annoyed with myself when I do go.

We'll never see those days again. If the world settles down and peace breaks out in various parts of the world, we MIGHT see $50/1000 again.

Iran just pissed away about 300 missiles and drones, that's a fair amount of money down the drain and since Iran has been supplying Russia with drones, I doubt Russia is going to be pleased when Iran diverts those production lines to building Iran's supplies of drones and missiles back up. If this continues, using the bomber fleet, including the B-2's and perform the following strikes, minimizing civilian casualties. If Iran chooses to behave itself, the strikes stop: Strike one: We eliminate all Iranian naval vessels, their bases, repair facilities and fueling facilities. If Iran continues to be difficult, Strike two: Destroy all armed aircraft of the Iranian Air Force, their bases, repair facilities and fueling facilities. If Iran continues to be difficult, Strike three: Destroy all of their tanks and AFV's ,their bases, repair facilities and fueling facilities. If Iran continues to be difficult, Strike four: Using precision missiles and small diameter bombs, kill senior military leadership, which includes the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. On edit: As part of Strike one, turn their nuclear design and development facilities into a crater

I'm fairly certain that the the Israeli SAM systems are of Israeli make as are the missile production lines.

Kinky!

Done With Bonaparte and Brothers in Arms are both songs that capture what it is like to be a soldier better than any other song I've heard. Mark Knopfler is an extremely talented songwriter when it comes to a song that tells a story. Some are sad & serious like Done With Bonaparte and Brothers in Arms. Some are whimsical like Secondary Waltz and Quality Shoe. Money for Nothing is a very good satire song about the early days of MTV. Much of Mark Kopfler's work, either a solo artist or as part of Dire Straits can be heard on YouTube and he is definitely a musician that gets better the more you hear.

Don't know why, but I never would have guessed "On September 9, 1942, Albert enlisted in the United States Coast Guard and was discharged in 1943 to accept an appointment as a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the coxswain of a US Navy landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Albert#Military

I suspect that the various delivery companies have a "hard stop" time after which the drivers are required to return to the delivery hub no matter how many packages they still have and no matter how close they are to the delivery address. Not sure if that is a HR/union thing, the legal department or trying to minimize the potential dangers to the drivers.

I've been very happy with mine and never had an issue. If I were looking for another 1873 or 1866 I would definitely choose Cody

The baseboard heat is two zones, one for the bedroom, one for the rest of the condo which I like The A/C & heat pump are in ducts and are a single zone, which I don't like Temps in CT can run from 30 F (or lower) during the fall/winter season and 80 F+ in the spring/summer and more than 90 F isn't uncommon Looks like I can do without the heat pump. I'm getting quotes for with and without the heat pump, I'll get the heat pump if the prices are close, otherwise I'll do without.

I live in a condo so I am very restricted as to what changes I can make when it comes to heating and cooling. Alternatives to electric are not allowed, neither are window or mini split AC units. I have all electric baseboard heat. I have to replace my central A/C, the question is do I spend the extra money for a heat pump, either for myself or in the future if I sell the condo?

If it's the spirits of Widder or Tennessee Williams that are inhabiting the land, you'll have to nuke the site from orbit, it'll be the only way to be sure.

Canadian Forces will be getting new uniforms, the materials just arrived.

Billy Martin, a good couch, but not a good person And I lived northern NJ was he was coaching

I'm not jumping out of plane unless it's going to crash, explode or I'm going to get paid a LOT of money

The clouds came in right about the time the eclipse was suppose to happen here in CT.
