Pictures were a really big deal in those days. They would be made up to look like the picture of health, thus the rouge for rosy cheeks. The gun was probably a prop provided by the photographer.

Back to the original question, that cheek piece screams "Mannlicher".

It depends: The heat pump will heat the condo much more economically than the baseboard heater if adjusted to the manufactures specifications. The cost/benefit ratio depends on how long before you sell the condo, your current cost of electricity, how much the electricity rates increase while you are there and the efficiency of the unit you install and I probably left a few things out. The heat pump will heat the air it expells to about 80 degrees Farenheit. This is probably warmer than you will ever want the temperature, but it feels cool to the skin, so your wife will be waking you up at 2:00 AM telling you that the heat pump is blowing cold air. You will not be able to convince her that it is working properly. BTDT. I have been using heat pumps since 1991 and I like them, but you may not.

Just like good only different.

October 1966 the Tigers stepped off into deep stuff near Vi Than. Lots of birds shot up and shot down, lots of casualties. Martha Raye was at Soc Trang to do a show, but that night she worked as a nurse treating the wounded and donated a unit of blood ( I think that Jackie Kirk was the recipient ). The night after all this she put on her show for us. There is nothing that the Tigers would not do for her. She deserves to be buried with her boys!, she was a class act.

Sent you a PM. Duffield

B57 it won't let you down.

You are correct. Although when we used it to hold our Hueys together in Viet Nam we called it "300 miles per hour tape" and we had a really strong paper tape that we called "150 mile per hour tape."

I know just exactly how you feel.

The finest exhibition of control line flying that I ever saw was put on by two gentlemen flying Cox PT,19 trainers at Ft. RUCKER in 1965. The flew simultaneously and I'd loops, wingers, low passes and high, tight circles. How they kept from tangling their control lines I'll never know. They sure put on a good show.

I built a replica of Helena when we were doing model warship combat. It was a tribute to all the sailors who fought in WW II.

Get her a great meal, all her favorites. Get a takeout if she doesn't want to go to a restaurant. Coddle her and be sure that we are still praying for her health.

I am glad that you are OK. I hope the police catch the thug that did this. It would be nice to know why he did it. Maybe there is enough damage to his vehicle to make it easy to find.

My mother was one of those ladies.

If you use 9mm Luger dies you can reload with 357 bullets and use the factory barrel. Mark it "9 mm Rimmed" so that someone doesn't try resizing .360 bullets by firing them in it, that would cause a pressure spike! The .357 bullets will work OK in your other guns for our game.

Hang tight. More prayers for Schoolmarm and you for improvement and healing.

Praying for both of you

Neck size only!!!the Remington cartridges have less taper and the shoulder is farther forward than the Winchhester cartridges. PM me for more info about these rounds

I hope it's five o'clock where he is.

Graf & Sons have had Privi Partisan 303 Savage brass. I'm not sure if they have any now but it's worth checking.

Time for the games to start, I have a Big Orange Drink and two hot dogs, so I am all set to enoy the evening.

I might drop another on these close calls that the convicts are making. They were right in the end but....

Watching the games today I realized that I have been drinking the wrong beverage during the games. I need a Big Orange Drink just like the ones that Deacon Andy Griffith drank at the first game that he attended. I will get some by next weekend.

If you mix Pepsi and Vodka does that make a Hammer and Pepsickle?

Khris, I can identify with the loss of a dear friend all too soon and the job situation. I can't say anything to help with the loss of your friend. As a Christian I believe that he is in a better place, but as a human the loss is hard to bear. As for the job one of my supervisors was such a jerk that his daughter would not allow him to attend her wedding. His supervisor would give Operations the phone number of the bar that he was going to be in, tell us that he would be inspecting another part of the plant and depart. I was once told to withhold information during a critique (I managed to work it in anyway)! I can't tell you what to do, but I took a big financial hit to retire two years earlier than I had planned. The Good Lord has looked after me and I have not missed the money as much as I thought I would. The relief from the stress has been enormous. Whatever you decide to do, God Bless You! You are in my prayers. Duffield
