  1. I'll take a look at this video tomorrow. I currently use Excel for our small annual, but anything that makes it "easier" is always good.
  2. Howdy MM! Heard and read about - Yes. Seen or held a gun or ammo - No. Proprietary cartridges made/developed by Lazzeroni. Expensive guns and expensive ammo. Think Weatherby but on steroids.
  3. @Trailrider #896 they did get the cargo hatch to open but could not get it closed. We watched the live feed and while they were showing the cargo hatch it abruptly fell inward, dangling (what appeared to be) several inches inboard. Couple that with quite a few lost heat tiles and what appeared to be a slow roll as it re-entered the atmosphere, I'm surprised they had telemetry for as long as they did. The camera views were awesome!
  4. We also use Lockton Affinity.
  5. My "issue" is that it doesn't remember the Divisions you add. We have a "shootist" category (top five shooters will compete as "shootist's" the following month. I have to add "shootist" every month.
  6. I have a pair from Caboots in El Paso. I went to the store several years ago and had my feet/calves measured by Joey. Price and turn-around time were both very good, IMO. Most comfortable boots I've ever worn. Period boots
  7. @J-BAR #18287, I wouldn't spend any more money on knives than is necessary. The amount spent would be determined by the recipient's knowledge and application of knife use and care. Both of the brands you've listed make really good knives and both also offer Chinese knives. I have some of both brands. I also have some custom knives from Carter Cutlery. Some of my favorite go-to knives, though, are Dexter-Russell. All of mine are relatively inexpensive (for what they are) and made in the USA. I'd buy a small variety of common use knives along with a magnetic knife wall mount instead of a factory "set" with counter-top "knife block".
  8. It depends on the age of the ship for the most part. Most embarked troops, whether Marines or Sea Bees, are in berthings with racks stacked three or four high. These are the plain racks (no coffin lockers) and some can be triced-up (folded up against the bulkhead). Some are canvas "cots" on aluminum frames that are raised and lowered (vertically) as needed. They are raised into the overhead during the day to allow for floor space and lowered in the evening for sleeping.
  9. What's the difference between a "cabin" and a "stateroom"? The number of people sleeping in it. The CO may have two cabins- an "in-port" cabin and an "underway" cabin. Senior officer's (department heads) may have a single-man stateroom or share with one other. Junior officers may have from two to four sharing a stateroom. On some of the newer ships, even senior enlisted may have staterooms. Also, the number of people in a crew's berthing (enlisted) may be lower.
  10. Dowco Guardian - animals weren't the problem. It traps heat and moisture under/inside just as well as it keeps water out (or even better).
  11. I just dropped off my seats to get recovered. Lesson learned - DO NOT store a motorcycle under a water-proof cover for extended periods of time in hot and humid environments. Totally destroyed my seats. (I don't have a garage or carport.)
  12. Final results by category is from 2023. Not sure who needs to know to fix it.
