My favorite breed of the working dog class, the Corn Dog.
Oregon, 1939...

Young mother, aged twenty-two, has one little girl three years old. Merrill, Klamath County, Oregon. In mobile unit of FSA (Farm Security Administration) camp. New baby expected in December. During this year she has worked with her husband in: strawberries (Helvetia, Oregon); cherries (Salem, Oregon); beans (West Stayton, Oregon); hops (Independence, Oregon). Is now in potato pickers' camp at the end of that season. "We haven't got a cent now and we've lost our car because we've helped some people out. It seems like it's taken every cent to eat off, that and traveling around."

Farm Security Administration
Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was drafted by the Army.
On his first day in basic training, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair.
On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth.
On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years
At one Army base, the annual trip to the rifle range had been canceled for the second year in a row, but the semi-annual physical fitness test was still on as planned. One soldier mused, “Does it bother anyone else that the Army doesn’t seem to care how well we can shoot, but they are extremely interested in how fast we can run?”

FWIW you can search for any US plane based on the tail.
My old plane N95265 comes back with this. Just type the tail in a google search.
You can also search for "pilots" just do airman search in google and it will take you to the FAA search. All you need is the last name.
Been a day or two for me. I do miss it, but shutter at the expense today. However if I hit the power ball my dream plane is in my future. Going to be a bit hard to win that, I only buy one ticket when the jackpot is like a billion or something crazy.

Apparently the ship only had 1" of armor plate. Some similar vessels had an additional 4.5 of belt armor, but not this one according to the description.
"This same account goes on to detail the damage to the warship — an eight-foot split in the side plating located around 8 feet above the waterline, and some minor distortion to panels on the hull."
This Kamikaze Impact Mark On A British Cruiser Is A Testament To The Brutality Of The Pacific War
The British cruiser HMS Sussex had a lucky escape on this day in 1945, but others were far less fortunate.www.thedrive.com
Bet the pilot came out looking like he had ridden a Titanic adventure sub… wonder if that’s the pilot!
Meanwhile in the bridge… “I say, Captain. It seems we have a chink in our armour”.
Going to hell for that one… even if I did spell armor correctly for the quotational context.”

You make me nerd out for a sec. Those Maytag engines are very popular around stationary engine/farm shows. There are a couple different versions.
I have the hots to get me one, just have not done it yet.....not sure why I want one, I guess the same reason people have airplane engines on static stands and trailers.
I never can get my balloon animals to turn out right…
No children’s birthday parties for me…
Fact checkers are information suppressors… the Ministry of Truth had spoken.
Don't forget that she didn't use disposable diapers.
Take your time to watch it trough

Years ago, I lived for several months in Cambridge, UK. We haunted this pub called "The Library." Awesome beer and red hot curry at all hours of the night. We'd usually grab the 'snug' and a lot of patents were hatched in that room!
One early spring night, late, we walk outside and one of my UK Colleagues just out of the blue screams "Fooking Kamikaze!!"
I'm going... "What the hell was that for."
His response was "There's a bloody nip in the air, mate!"
I laughed all the way home...
Cheers,

Twin engine trainer. Local flight school uses them to train commercial pilots from a certain communist country that we all know.
I always wanted the Big Block (or big engine) SS Version of that. With the red pinstripe/highlights. What an awesome car!My 1978 El Camino, another car I wish I still had.

That makes sense.... lots of planes come in and out of BTV on training flights. That's definitely it!
Thanks! Sirhr
