I remember that.
The P is because it's in pieces, and the F is cause it's just fuckered up.
Sorry, poorly worded joke. ?
I'll go back to watching TV for now
As the wheel burns away at the track, the slag from the track melting away build up on the wheel making the wheel larger in diameter and can cause a derailment
That was what she looked like during refurbishment. She is now at San Marcos Texas at the Commemorative Air Force (fomerly and properly, in my mind, the Confederate Air Force). Where she is in full authentic paint scheme. This plane was the lead plane for the D Day invasion, carrying Curahees, over Normandy. Now fully restored paint and nose art donated by the paint company (as well as all the prep and labor) and engines donated by the Lycoming company (including install and calibration and run up labor). Do a search for her, and when you find the web site, buy something with the logo, as all proceeds go to continuing to maintain the ship. Their mockup display model was in our military group for the San Antonio Veteran's day parade. I wil edit this entry when I get my photos downloaded to the computer.
The plane flies and travels. For the 75th Anniversary of D Day, she led other American C46, and 47's across country, to Newfoundland, then across the Atlantic to Ireland and then England for the flight over the English channel, and D Day activities.
My bride and I went to their 40's themed Hangar Dance.
Totally restored and flying now.

South Park - Chipotle Away
"If you're like other Americans you love to eat Chipotle, but you hate all those terrible blood stains in your underwear. Well now there's a solution!" From the new episode of South Park. Also contains a bit about "Ghost Hunters"

I need one of those.... the wife wants one... where do I find one in excelleNt condition?
I got that one on Gunbroker, but I would do your homework first if you're going to buy from a private individual. WWII era German stuff is the most faked/easiest to get burned area of firearms collecting I'm aware of.
These guys charge the seller I think 20% to grade and sell guns on their site, so that is often reflected in the posted prices, but the descriptions are no-BS and honest. I was about to buy one from the same serial block of the same year from them when I tossed a bid on the one above and happened to win it.

If you're looking for WWII Era you're probably going to be looking at Mauser production. "G code" (1935) through 1942. There are a handful of other manufacturers that made it into WWII issue but because of the rarity they tend to be pretty spendy. Regardless, worth doing a little bit of homework before hand to get the gist of what you're looking at. Not hard to get into the $2500+ range.
Well, first he was almost captured on the 21st May 1940 in France, where he was the most feared commander of the 7th Tank Division.
"Der schneidige Kommandeur hatte sich stets in unmittelbarer Frontnähe aufgehalten und war am 21. Mai nur knapp einer Gefangennahme entronnen - dieser Tatsache wurde spätestens ab 1942 im britischen Oberkommando immer wieder schmerzlich nachgetrauert."
Then later in Africa, he was very often patrouling behind and along enemy lines, alone just with his Adjutant and a car.
At one of this trips, he discovered unintentional a field hospital from the New Zealanders.
He then grabbed the chief doctor and made an inspection with him, and got back into the car and drove away.
"Bei einer seiner zahlreichen Erkundungsfahrten mit seinem Adjutanten geriet der General einmal unbeabsichtigt hinter die feindlichen Linien. Als er auf ein neuseeländisches Feldlazarett stieß, stieg er aus dem Wagen, schnappte sich den verdutzten Oberarzt und ließ sich selbstsicher durch die Zelte führen. Anschließend fuhr er wieder hinter die eigenen Linien zurück - ja, das war Erwin Rommel."
I have no date for this, but it must have been in the second half of 1941.
I do not doubt you get used to the death. But, it is not your job to get there in less than 5 minutes and try to save the ones that are somewhat still alive.
There is the gap.

The problem is, that the 200k were bought by the same people who bought the 200k last year.

Once you see it you can’t un-see it.
