Yup.....
You'll top a hill, look out 60 miles at the next mountain and say, yup, we are going over that one eventually.
It's cool as hell when you are back there. (there's a short cut from what I'm told that's only a 3 hour drive), you come up the back from Rosevelt Lake.
Pack guns, you are out the in middle of BFE and the nearest help is 6- 8 hours a way, IF you can get reception.

Now imagine you are Lewis and Clark. No map. No idea where you are. You have to carry everything. And winter is coming soon. If it hits while you are in the mountains, you all die and no one probably even finds a trace of you.

Amazing country out there in 2024. Imagine it in 1805.

Yup… they were 1000 miles Or so North. But still. The folks who opened up the USA had some serious fortitude!

Watertown MA or Waterlivet NY

Nordberg plant in Milwaukee. 44 foot long 80,000 pound hoist shaft. Lathe is a "Pond" 5'. I mainly was impressed with the steady rest!

Picture is from the 1900's. Lathe from the 1890's.


Another amazing American company lost to merger and overseas outsourcing... plant closed in 2004. Probably replaced with Chinese shit.

Not a gun barrel.

Cheers!
 

Well the question really is WHY did something really big hit something else. Was the really big thing not maintained? The people running it not qualified? Did something happen like we see in youtube videos where someone in Atlanta turned the window wipers on in a car driving down the road in St. Louis?

That is the question. And Funnier yet if it is the one people hope for Item 1 or 2, that is to make me feel better....you stupid fuck.

Well, there is another explanation that is nowhere near as fun as coming up with conspiracies…
