WOWZER!!!

Fixed it.

The Tracy, being a Clemson class destroyer, was a WW1 Class ship, kinda like the Garand is a WWII rifle, even those made post war.

If I throw a party, I supply the appetizers. Quality control I calls it.

Alas, sword canes are not legal in every state.

The plot of Plan Nine From Outer Space made more sense than this.

:lol:

And 30 years ago today...

We can easily feed the US and a significant part of the whole world if necessary.

Do they still even have clubs?

Silly posturing.

My wife could never get the hang of it. So I bought her an electric one.

No sidewalks around here.

All I have is an answering machine. It will not put you into voice mail if I'm on the line.

Rats! We just bought a new opener.

Hopefully. But too much water is a bad thing for some grapes.

Yup. That's a "Hold my beer and watch this" kinda moment.What could go wrong?

It's a lovely day in the neighborhood.

Loved Tom in Mars Attacks!

Yup. Hearing loss will do that.

According to Donald Bady in his book Colt Automatic Pistols, the Army modified the 1911's flat mainspring housing in 1926 because some soldiers had difficulty keeping the grip safety depressed, especially during recoil when the hand can move on the grip. The arched housing caused the hand to stay higher on the grip. He references original documents. I don't recall if there was any mention of shooting high or low.

Also at Anzio. Although the Germans called them The Black Devils, not the Devils Brigade. That was Hollywood. Probably because Black Devils sounded racist. http://www.firstspecialserviceforce.net/history.html
