    WW2 Tours

    I'll be visiting the Netherlands in November to meet up with Grateful Generation Tours (https://www.gratefulgenerationtours.nl/ to visit the site of operation Market Garden. My father landed there via glider and fought to liberate the town where this group is based. His uniform and various...

    The shed got a new roof

    I'm also banned from ladders... several years ago I was wiping down a wood-paneled wall with Liquid Gold and was overcome with the fumes. I smashed by zygomatic arch - a.k.a. cheek bone. At least my eye stayed where it belongs. At this point I'm getting too old to heal and can't afford broken...

    Loungers' Pets

    Ruby ended the 100 yqrd dash season with a >28 mph run. She broke into the top 100 fastest in the US AKC trials. Not bad for her 1st year! Summer's here and the latest competition is "dock diving". A 35" running start to how far she can leap into a pool. She skipped over beginner and master...

    DAISY BB's

    I think I still have a CO2 powered pistol that shoots BBs.... or my son-in-law has it. Crossman. Growing up we always has Daisy pump-action rifles. The cylinder would screw in and take maybe 50 BBs.

    Loungers' Pets

    Ruby... mostly Australian Cattle Dog. She's evolving as a tracker and speedster - if chasing a lure counts. She ran a 7.74 sec 100 yds last weekend. This week it was 7.57 sec (27.04 mph). Personal Best! They get 2 runs per day at this AKC sanctioned event. For her breed (mixed) - All American...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    From what I've been told, Australian camels have been captured and shipped to Saudi Arabia. Apparently they're healthier than the native ones. About 20 years ago I spent several weeks touring central Australia solo in a camper. On a backroad outside Alice Springs I almost ran down these guys...

    Your most historically interesting militaria

    Thinking back to my high school days in Chicago, I wanted to try cross-country skiing. The only way I could afford gear was to buy army surplus from an outlet. I had a full set of WWII US 10th Mountain Division skis, boots, gloves, etc. While X-country gear was narrow, light and had sleek boots...

    What Are You Reading

    How to Read Water: Clues and Patterns from Puddles to the Sea by Tristan Gooley He uses puddles and rivers as a proxy for lakes and ocean. I'm hoping I can pick up some tricks for 'reading' trout streams.

    Loungers' Pets

    Born to fetch... outstanding eye-mouth coordination plus agility. Tomorrow she starts 'tracking" classes. She's being groomed as a 'cadaver search dog' per my daughter. I think with a keg around her neck, she could look for me when I go missing when lawn cutting.

    Embarrassment., humiliation... What did D-Day say in Delta House (Animal House)? "Don't get mad. Get even." Doxies carry a grudge. Check inside your shoes in the morning.

    Loungers' Pets

    Mixed breed shelter puppy. DNA screen has her ~75% Australian Cattle Dog. She lives to fetch... anything, anytime, anywhere. She doesn't need the life jacket, but the river was pretty swift and she was curious about the rocks midstream. Brevard, North Carolina

    Let's See Your Home Bar!

    We're in the process of moving, so the bar is not stocked. Mirror on top with stirrers and olive picks. There's also an orange light in the top. Not great condition, but as picked up at an antique store in Huntsville, AL.

    Who got the oldest computer-contest! ;-)

    This topic got me thinking - a dangerous proposition. I bought my first computer (sort of) in 1974. Actually, I was a hospital radiology administrator and bought one of the first CT (CAT) scanners. It was developed by Electrical and Musical Industry (EMI) and ran on a 'Data General' main...

    Vintage things that have REAPPEARED in your lifetime?

    I think the term was "rippled out" for the night I woke up on the roof of a two story house in Michigan City, Indiana. I remember crawling back into the window and laying on a bed that wouldn't stop moving. I think I only felt worse after I over-indulged with slivovitz. Funny how 50+ years later...

    Things You can't Do Anymore

    I know what you mean... not my eyes, however. I can't seem to see much below the belt, it's all in a shadow. Likewise, if the dog's ball goes under the couch, between looking for a yard stick and getting down on my knees, it's quite a production.

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    While shopping for a fish filet knife for my son-in-law and a really good boning knife for my wife, I pulled out the 1975'ish Buck 123 filet knife I had in my fishing tackle box. Unfortunately(?), given I almost never land fish, it's in almost mint condition. Maybe now that I'm actively...

    Look what the drought brought in........

    We had a quarry in Lemont, IL that the Chicago mob used to sink cars with various individuals in the trunk. Seems a similar situation is playing out due to the drought effect on Lake Meade. https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-mob-lake-mead-bodies-found/11870686/
