I wandered over here maybe a year ago. Great people on the D. I was welcomed by all. Glad you are here, no one will disappoint you here. Sawnee, good luck with your appointment, hope you get a good report sir.
Do I see some bubbles coming up....😉This swamp is in Perry, Florida and is the final resting place for many who "needed killing" My Uncle Lee would always say if someone did a dastardly deed, take them to Perry and ....... I often wonder if these swamps could actually talk. Wow
That's right. Mogas.
The one we had was like the one in the top picture. Talking about the pipe getting red, we had it so hot in the house one time, that the candles were starting to melt. We had to open the patio door to "cool" the house down.We owned one of these. Burned coal and wood:
Also one of these bad boys below. It still sits at my ex mother in-law's (RIP) place and is in excellent condition. They switched over to central heat/air about 25 years ago.
Can't find a picture of the potbelly we owned.
One must pay attention with dampers and especially flues. I've seen a flue pipe turn red several times. Gotta pay attention. No, I don't miss those old days at all.
Thank you for your prayers cordmaker. God hears His children.
SC, just type in thin blue line stained glass pattern, I am sorry I don't know how or I would do it!!!!
Folks are working through obstruction issues. Biden's lead to under 15K. When that is out of the way. The instant ballot issues at the polls can be addressed. The truth will set (& keep) you free. Show the world what freedom looks like . . . Rule of Law.Good morning from ATX. We've got 69°F, cloudy and humid. Some drizzle. Front moving in late tonight. Our high today should reach 82°F. We'll take it.
That's all I got for right now. It's too early for anything else.
Wishing happiness and good health to all our fellow D-League members.
<===Shield will follow.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Thanks Mr. Rooster!
Here's an YouTube channel that I thought some of you might enjoy. I love how the tracks in LaGrange go through the middle of town.

Been around trains all my life, my DAD was an engineer and have never seen those types of rail cars, what kind are they and what are they hauling?
Almost all of my time there (which was a lot) was in tent city. I knew Graf better than most other training centers I ever visited in the Army. A close second was Hoenfels.
I figured it up years ago. Over 11 years, I hit up Graf more than 20 times. I even rotated there twice for school (Vilseck) during my 2-year stint at the missile site. Crazy. Really liked Graf much more than Hohenfels. I attended BNCOC at Hohenfels.
In the late 70's and early 80's, I was the market manager at CSX for autos.Automotive vehicle transport.
My grandparents had a Warm Morning coal stove right in the front room. It's job was to heat the entire house and it looked a lot like this. When I was ready to go into the army I visited my grandparents in Pike Co and met up with some old buddies for one more good time before Uncle Sam had me. One was Rick Kestner who played football for Belfry and UK. He was really good people and made it to the NFL
We took off to Williamson, WVA for some refreshments because it was wet and Pike was dry. About 2:00 AM we headed up the road and one of my buddies, Cecil Hunt, was so drunk he couldn't make it home. So we decided to bring him up to grandpa's house and find a bed for him. The only bed was a roll away bed and we rolled it up to the coal stove, stripped ole Cecil of his clothes and covered him with quilts to keep warm.
He finally stirred the next morning about 10:30 AM after grandpa had poured a couple of buckets of coal in it and opened up the damper. The fire was roaring and was hot hot. Cecil woke up sweating and burning up with grandma's prayer group staring at him as they sit for their weekly prayer meeting grandma hosted. Cecil was confused and still drunk when one of the sisters grabbed him by the arm to pull him out of bed. What happened after that the Lord only knows because I ran out of the house down the hill. There are a million stories centered around the coal stove back on the hill.
I retired from CSX. 1968-2000.
Good for you sir...that's great

Just picked up an indoor countertop smokeless grill today at WalMart. Was part of their pre-Black Friday deals.
When my kids were little we use to go to Stone Mtn Park in Georgia all the time. Had a train running around the base of the mountain. They loved putting coins on the track and having them flattened. Good memories...sitting on the lawn in front of the mountain with a picnic with the kids playing.
