Join contest SubscribeThat was the Battle Ship Texas that flooded her off side ballasts in order to get more elevation on her guns and stay in the fight.Those were 5” destroyer rounds. When things were starting to get really messy on Omaha Beach, a couple of destroyer captains completely disobeyed orders and risked tearing the bottoms out of their ships in order to get in close and get their guns on target. Some of them were just 2 to 300 yards from the beach and couldn’t miss. It helped tip the balance.
If I remember right one cruiser captain actually flooded one whole side of his ship, allowing his guns to depress enough to hit the beaches.
That said if someone wants to say it’s a 45, who am I to argue.

That was obviously before holla points were perfected
That Arctic Circle sticker is cool as shit
That's highly unbelievable. The two cities are a 9.5 hour drive apart, likely further by train, during wartime, after a mass casualty event. And the bombings were 3 days apart.
the caption makes it seem like the 45 made those pocks, likely 20mm or other artillery
So not only can the storm troopers not hit anything, they can't install toilet paper correctly either.
If you get a chance take a spin through the San Juans from Durango to Ouray. IMHO the most beautiful part of CO.View attachment 8696432
Got it in Norway 2012. Still 300+-miles to go to get to Nordkapp. Northernmost point in The world that you can ride or drive to! Way North of Deadhorse, Alaska!!

PS. Today’s ride before Pikes Peak was awesome. Met up with @Starbuck amd ran about 180 miles of Colorado canyons at really respectable speeds for adventure bikes! That boy can ride!!
Overall, spectacular day of riding!

@sirhrmechanic I second this one millyun percent. Last summers vacation was exactly this, Ouray for a few days then drive the million dollar highway to Durango for a few days and finish with a drive from Durango to Pagosa Springs on hwy 160 then back to the Denver area. The drive was just as amazing as the stuff we did while we were campingIf you get a chance take a spin through the San Juans from Durango to Ouray. IMHO the most beautiful part of CO.
How would that help?

I always like the sign that says employees must wash hands after using urinal, I've waited and waited and never has a employee came and washed my hands , I always comment on it as I walk by the cashier too.
