I apologize for the late reply, FIL had surgery yesterday and is in ICU
It’s been in the barn for 4-5 years now, as I had one built 4 feet long to replace this on (2 feet long)
It is built so the bottom can be unbolted and turned around so the eggs roll to the front instead of the rear (like...
If you have children, get a docile breed and handle them a good bit when young.
Raise them in their coop for a few months before letting them out. Same with when they start laying, keep them closed up and get them used to laying in the coop. I open the door in the morning, and go close it...
Not a reproduction, but a real Remington New Model Army that has travelled the world. Union issued, Confederate captured, and came home from the war with my 3rd great grandfather. Before I got it, a cousin who was career military had it and took it around the world with him. His daughter, who...
Thank you for posting that.
Knew Mr Jerry and Mrs Homerline (his wife). I see Katy (his daughter mentioned) a good bit, but haven’t seen daughters Amy and Sue in years. His son Ray passed about 15 years ago. Mr Jerry and his brother Sonny both served in the Navy in WW2, Jerry was on the...
Dad was at Coffey Barracks, along with a few others in Germany.
Most people don’t know about Army Camp Merrill, in Dahlonega, GA.
As said above, Ft Mac is gone, probably because of the water, along with Sherman, and I will always call them Bragg, Benning & Polk.
Sounds like it was a great trip.
I’ve been to Mammoth and also Diamond Caverns (just a few miles away) and Red River Gorge below Winchester, KY, but New River has made the “to do” list in the last few months.
Where in LA are you at? If around the BR area (I live across the line in MS, but work near BR) I have a .243 youth 700 y’all can handle and shoot to see if something like that would work. Best friend I believe still has a 7-08 compact that he’d let y’all handle/shoot. Got a few 30-30s and...
Dad’s father was with Patton, Mom’s father was with Rommel. They met/married when dad was stationed in Germany in 61-64.
Got a cousin who was a B-24 pilot, 415th BS of the 98th BG. On March 1, 1943, “Thunder Bird” (B24 41-23789) was shot down after bombing the harbor at Naples, Italy. Crew is...
Don’t remember LA law, as I moved back to MS when I got out the Army many years ago, but know of several here in MS that don’t buy license, as they own the land they hunt. My wife and I are both on the deeds of our properties, so we both are allowed to hunt them without buying licenses.
My...
What did he do for annual inspection for the last 2 years, where everything had to be accounted for? Or has that much changed since I got out 30 plus years ago?
I bought a side this year from a local farmer and was all in for $4.10lb, hopefully it will still be less if I raise them, but I need to get my new fences up. Overall it is much cheaper than buying daily/weekly, plus you know what you are getting.
Can’t beat the taste of fresh beef
Had 159 sign our book (some just signed as a family) and we presented 16 of 22 Quilts of Valor ; 1 - Korean War, the rest Vietnam War.
Here is most of the vets that showed up for today's program.
Thankfully, all my dealings with BS members have been positive. I work really odd shifts at times, but so far every transaction has been great.
If you are in a rush, don’t start a conversion about guns or cars with me.
Nothing against you when I say this, but this (and I am just as guilty of it) is what is wrong. We continue to let people do this type of behavior and it just gets worse with time. I do not know the solution. Wish I did, we ( good people of the society) as a whole shrug a lot off as “not my...
There is a Whiskey Trail in Scotland that goes to several distilleries.
I’ve been in 34 countries outside the US (been on 6 of the 7 continents) and Scotland was one of my favorites.
But for those that may never get a chance to go overseas, America has LOTS of beautiful things to see, a lot...
Love the photos. Took the wife over in Oct 2012 for a few weeks. There is one spot we found between Aberdeen and Edinburgh, that if there wasn’t a castle on the mountain, you would swear you were on I-40 between Knoxville and Nashville
I recommend Scotland to anyone who gets the chance to go...
