The USS Maine blew up and sank in Havana harbor in 1898. She was raised and then scuttled off Florida in 1912.
I’m not aware of another ship with that name, so I wonder what ship that might be in the 1919 pic?

We loved shooting with that club!
Me too! Drove from Kansas City to that club in 2009 for “Robbers Defend the Roost”. I became a “Dammit Gang” member then. 😁

Looks like he's holding dozens of people at bay with a pair of firearms.
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there!

I have always said I wanted to get a hold of the engineer who decided to stuff a Small Block V8 into the Chevy Monza...
Are we talking about that POS Monza from the late ‘70s, or the Corvair Monza of the ‘60s?

An-2E (second use of the designation) – An Ekranoplan conversion (Russian: Ан-2Э) of an An-2P (RA-84692). The fuselage was retained and a large trapezoidal monoplane wing having extended wingtips with approx 45° dihedral, attached to the lower wing attachment points. The prototype conversion was intended to be a floatplane; however, its first public appearance was as a landplane with the standard An-2 undercarriage. Jointly developed by the Moscow Aviation Institute, MARZ (Moskovskiy Aviaremontnyy Zavod – Moscow Aircraft Overhaul Plant) and The TSZP-Saturn research institute the An-2E was also known as EA-00078. Power was supplied by the standard ASh-62IR radial engine with AV-2 propeller, but production versions were intended to be powered by automotive diesel engines of around 430 kilowatts (580 hp).-

A priest, drunk and engineer are sentenced to death by guillotine. Each is asked whether they want to go face up or face down.
The priest says, “I’d like to go face up to see my maker.” When the rope is pulled, the blade goes crashing down, but stops inches from his neck. Ruling that it was act of God that saved him, he is set free.
Next is the drunk who says, “I’ve spent my life face down in the gutter, so I might as well go that way.” Again the blade crashes down, stopping inches from his neck. He too is set free.
Last is the engineer who says, “It really doesn’t matter, so I guess I’ll go face up.” Just before the rope is pulled, he looks up and says, “I see your problem. There’s a kink in the rope.”

The new short stroke kits seem to have the geometry figured out to minimize this. I never noticed a difference when I switched my rifles from 3rd gen to 5th.
I did, and went back to third gen in my .44-40. It’s all very subjective. A third gen kit is miles ahead of a stock rifle. 5th gen vs 3rd not so much - at least not for me.

Interesting airplane. It shares the same tail plane arrangement as the P4Y Privateer that my dad flew.

B-25J Mitchell "Devil Dog" taken a couple of years back at Grimes Field in Urbana, Ohio. I changed the photo to black and white for a Facebook thing, and really like the result.
What was the original color, night fighter black or navy blue?

Thank you. I have a book called The American Steel Navy with high quality photos of the steel ships post Civil War - from the 1880’s to the Great White Fleet. Haven’t looked at it in awhile, so now I’m gonna have to pull it off the shelf.
