    Last time I drove through the one in Barstow looked like it was all old commercial stuff. (Doesn’t mean it is, and that was a really long time ago) I did a project at the old Walker AFB in Roswell a while back. Every day there was an excavator with a muncher on it turning old 737s and other...

    The TI-30s were not expensive by the early 80s, around ‘82 the newest ones had dropped the red LED for an LCD and they had gotten flat as opposed to the wedge shape of the one in the pic. The SRs were pricey in the mid 70s, but I don’t recall the $$. They were the first, but it wasn’t long...

    oops, I’m off. The TI-30 was the standard NNPS calculator. What we has in High School in the 70s was the SR-51a. Enter 69 factorial … 69[!x] and watch it think for like 15 seconds or something. Was the longest function we ever came up with...

    Wouldn’t be any video of that one. back in the 90s there was a fire/safety manager at a federal facility where I was working who commented on the building plans for the sodium storage facility didn’t meet code beca it didn’t have a sprinkler system. (saner minds prevailed)

    Looks like some shit my dad would have done. I have hauled (not by my choice) a John Deere 450 in the back of a single axle dump before.

    There is some photoshopping going on in that pic. That sail with fairwater planes is all wrong, I can’t recall or find any sub with that sail size/planes configuration The pic may be real, but it’s been modified.

    “Salvage value”, I like that. I’m goinna steal that one. Cycling never got me any metal, though a pre-race mtb ride it did get my right knee scoped and some cartilage removed in the mid 90s. (raced on it 6 weeks later). something stoopid and a spiral fracture of the right tib and a...

    Must be kind of like Kind of like Mojo and/or Bullfrog in Subic. There are some things that should probably remain unknown to those who were not there.

    Coast Guard doesn’t require display, that is a state requirement. That’s one of the reasons why most yacht owners opt for CG documentation vs. state even if they never plan to leave US waters. Sticking those ugly arse numbers on the bow is just rude.

    I get a giggle with the juxtaposition of how that Weimaraner did it vs how a Lab would. *SPLASH*

    Trust me, if you have done enough remodeling it’s totally understandable. Didn’t expect there to be anything in there. I’ve been doing a remodel my house that was built in the 70s. There are no drawings. Pretty much every time I open a wall I find stuff I didn’t expect to be there...

    The stereo equipment in the SubBase barracks at Pearl was awesome. Among other things it was the first and only place I ever saw a Nakamichi Dragon, and in 1984 that was the schnizzle. Because we didn’t have a dispersing office on the boat single enlisted guys could get 6 mo advance pay just...

    If I’m right and that’s a Swordfish, that outdated jalopy kicked butt on Axis floaty stuff and was quite arguably responsible for the Royal Navy actually catching and sinking the Bismarck. (they are lucky they never had to actually face fighter cover like in the Pacific, but still racked up...

    Did Subic to HK on a seagoing tug in Jan, 22 foot seas on the starboard quarter for days. Not sure of the actual sea state but when my SSN got run out of Hong Kong by a typhoon we were navigating on the surface rigged for dive and getting 80 ft depth transits in control. Ops upper level head...

    Powder charge, Compression, wad stack, alloy, lube, bullet size, casting in general…. yea, loading for bottlenecked cases with jacketed bullets and smokeless is simple by comparison. Paper patching anyone? Schuetzen is another creature. Never did it, used to shoot with two guys who did every...

    There is a whole ‘nuther world of shooting that is BPCR (black powder cartridge rifles) . It is way deeper than we can get into here. Winchester called them 45-70 or 45-110 etc, the purists call them by their Sharps designation e.g., Sharps 45-2 1/10 or Sharps 45 2-7/8 respectively. There are...
