Bombs Away LeMay was a pilot...
An Epic one… somewhere I have the story of him getting PNG’d out of Greenland along with the President of Smith and Wesson…. It’s pretty funny.
He was also a very cerebral general and cared deeply about the wellbeing of his airmen and families. Only general in WW2 who ordered his eggheads to measure success in “crew losses per unit of target destruction.”
Also created the Rand Corporation and Mitre.
Anything but the Visigoth the lefty reporters later portrayed him as!

So, hows everybody else's Saturday going.....?
At least the steps are still straight.
I’m not much of a whisky snob but I’ll beat a motherfucker’s ass if I see that.
Mine is going pretty well so far. I’m about to get out of bed and work on one of our cars then maybe take a nap. Hope your day gets better…
Missouri grandkids are visiting. Out on the bay yesterday and 7 year old Wyatt with the big fish of the day, a 19 inch black rockfish. We also got clams and Dungeness crabs.

Nah. It just needed a little tug. Cousin Jason sent Jack the SA guy over on a JD 8410 with front and rear duals and big honking tow strap.
Came right out.
True story: I spent 5 days in a military hospital back in the 70s. We were allowed to smoke in bed till lights out at 2100. The doctors and nurses were also allowed to smoke but they weren't allowed in the bed with us.
Yep. And, of course, she’s not wearing sweat pants or a potato sack like she normally would. It’s tiresome if you’re used to actual female companionship and aren’t a desperate horndog with porn addiction.
Damn turbine blades over 100' long. A 1/2 mile long train load of them left the other day. I have seen them leave on trucks, crazy
They used to be a lot shorter maybe 60' or 80'.

Lol. Fat guy acting like he can fight, hiking up his shorts and opening up his stance like he’s about to start moving around quickly, and standing there with his hands down next to his thighs/below his waist and with his chin up in the air.
I’m far from being a highly trained fighter, but I’ve been in enough of them to know that pretending to be one of those power punching games in front of another man very well could end with him treating you like one.
Head, neck, knees, gut…they were all there for the taking and he didn’t have a chance in hell of stopping any of it.
Got ktfo and probably tore up his knee in the process.
Free gravel for life? I'd be on that shit faster than the Brown acid at Woodstock!

Mfers would go broke trying to keep me in gravel.
You ever watched the documentary on Robert McNamara? Where McNamara discusses his experience during the war with Lemay… absolutely freaking interesting as hell.
Part of it is where they go over the statistical approach to bomb dropped versus air crews lost versus target destruction in Japan.
Very interesting stuff
The Fog of War. Errol Morris. Brilliant film!!!
Plus LeMay and Iron Eagle books.
He was an incredible guy. Fucked over by the Vietnam era leftist press.
If you want a couple of good books, look up Trevor Albertson’s books on LeMay. Trevor is a Norwich alumni and now a PhD in history (after an excellent USAF career.
His books dive deep into LeMay and the NSC.
Cheers!
He engineered the firebombing of Tokyo. Taking the planes low and loading them with incendiaries.
He lost 8 planes that night. But he gutted 16-20 square miles out of Tokyo. The single most effective raid of WW2…. Including Dresden and Hamburg.
In the next 90’days or so he leveled 60 Japanese cities, rendering them militarily useless and de-housing millions…. Who did not burn.
By the time of Hiroshima he was bouncing rubble.
But the single most effective campaign (which he fought against) was mining the Sea of Japan with so many air-dropped mines that a Kayak could not get through. Nimitz had to go to Hap Arnold to make LeMay do it. And he did it.
After the war, he said it was his biggest mistake to oppose the mining. It cut Japan off along with Japans troops in SEA, China and Manchuria. Everyone starved!
He was a smart guy who, like Grant and Sherman, believed that the faster you end a war, the more lives you save. Must be why the VN era Pentagon wanted nothing to do with him and ridiculed him at every turn.

Free gravel for life. That’s a form of currency
Si.
I think I could find employment with #7 and once I convinced myself #3 was more fun than practical gravel was the clear winner.
I forgot I had bought 2000 of these about a year ago. They are not specifically on the list but the Aguila 40g @ 1255fps is so bullet shape is probably fine. Federal AutoMatch is on the recommendation list.

My wife …..RIP
was a RN and was a nurse for a little girl that had a rare disease that required nursing care 24/7. She became friends with the family that lasted till she passed too.My daughter had a BD party at our house ,and the little girls parents brought her over.
After cake , the little girl needed to roll a deuce. Her mom took her to a spare bathroom for the deed. Few minutes past and her mom said she needed help.
She had shit a turd that was close to a foot long and thick as tube of burger meat.
Totally plugged up the shitter bad. Couldn’t get it down and we had to call roto rooter.
The dude said he’d never seen one that large , even on big people. Hell , she wasn’t much larger than the turd.
Ok, the Advantage Arms MOD/CA slide was tested out from the official unofficial headquarters of Laurel Creek Farm….the front porch.
Dry and out of the wrapper, it ran 50 Aguila Super Extra with 2 stoppages. Both chokes were due to the slide not reciprocating fully.
I took it to the Laurel Creek Skunkworks where all the whiz bang shiz happens around here (also known as the shop) and lubed it all up real nice with 0w20. It even sez in the strukshuns to lube it
first…
It ran a bunch of Mini Mags perfectly and for certain.
I will try more Aguila tomorrow as well as Auto Match and Federal bulk pack.
The Mini Mags are copper plated where the Aguila wasn’t which probably plays a role but we roll with the one who brung us out here in the HOA (hillbilly only area).
No freeloading
