Everyone stay safe on this Sunday.

Macleod will always be associated with his roles on The Mary Tyler Moore show and Love Boat. As for Thomas, "Raindrops keep falling on my head", comes to mind right away.In reviewing some headlines I see where we lost two celebs yesterday...BJ Thomas and Gavin MacLeod.
Don't know much about Thomas (liked his music), but MacLeod after being an alcoholic, which caused a divorce from his wife, got sobered up....remarried his wife....and became an outspoken, solid Christian.
I have not.Have you heard from Bertfan lately? Haven’t seen him post in the past few.
That is better than me. I am good with a rifle, but I can't hit with a pistol. My son is expert, my daughter is really good and dad is horrible.My Darling uses the .380 well. She can hit where she aims.
Here are a couple pictures of doves in my gutter. This gutter can be seen going to the guest place out back. Doves apparently are not very selective in where they nest!Don't worry.......Doves and pigeons don't grieve..........usually after a couple of hours or so they are forgotten......they will lay back in about ten days......
My father was on the Queen Mary. He brought back a WW1 German rifle which was used in WW2 by the German railroad police.In the Spirit of Memorial Day weekend, here is a picture of the Queen Elizabeth returning troops home form Europe after WWII. I have always been amazed at this photo. They were as thick as ants.
He loads them ALL!!!!!I have a friend that reloads 9mm but that is all..........
That is a great story. It is amazing how many WWII vets came back with German or Japanese war relics. I have in my gun and firearm collection this Nazi Germany 1913 Lugar 9 mm. I also have the orders granting permission for the Private who captured the officer to keep it and bring it home.My father was on the Queen Mary.

Interesting, thanks for the picture. Dad's rifle was made in Spandau (spelling?) in 1912 or 14 (I forget which). All parts have the same serial number, but I don't know what it's worth, but I wouldn't sell it anyhow. He used to talk about shooting "King Mussolini's deer" with it to help feed the guys. He used it untill he was no longer healthy enough for deer hunting back home.That is a great story. It is amazing how many WWII vets came back with German or Japanese war relics.

This pistol allegedly was carried by the German Colonel in WWI and WWII. His name and address is on the inside of the leather holster. Another interesting fact is the serial number for the pistol and magazine match. That increases the value a little. I have been offered $3,000 for this one. But I am giving it to my grandson.
Reminds me of a story Dad used to tell all the time. When war ended, his battleship brought 100's (1,000's?) of Marines home from Okinawa. Their normal crew was around 2200. Said there were hammocks hung from anywhere there was space, like from gun turrets. Said he never saw so many guys so happy in all his life. They ate hot meals nonstop all the way back. Marines said it was the best food they'd had in two years.In the Spirit of Memorial Day weekend, here is a picture of the Queen Elizabeth returning troops home form Europe after WWII.

You need gutter guard.Here are a couple pictures of doves in my gutter. This gutter can be seen going to the guest place out back. Doves apparently are not very selective in where they nest!
I got it installed last year.You need gutter guard.
Stories like these make the D League special. Thanks for sharing. We have a lot to be thankful for due to men like your father.Interesting, thanks for the picture.

Just a lad of 18. I am so thankful he finally made it home to rest in peace in his Kentucky home. Thanks for sharing BertYesterday a sailor that was killed on the USS Oklahoma at Pearl Harbor was recently found. Yesterday he was laid to rest in Mary Oaks, a few miles from my house. They put him away in a first class manner.
Here are two pages of the program:
The pictures are from my dear friend Velta Rose Smith.
FIL brought back several items including a Luger, swastika inscribed knife & a camp guard whip. He was part of the units that liberated Buchenwald. BIL has the whip still.That is a great story.

Good morning D-League.
We are sitting at 72° and expect a high of 83°. We have a 15% chance of much needed rain the winds are 7 mph. I spent some time at Kings Bay yesterday and enjoyed it. Then some fresh grouper and Gulf shrimp at a local seafood restaurant. A good time.
I pray all are well on this Sunday and stay safe over the weekend.
.......What do you mean, WE, KemosahbeeDo you remember this guy? His name was Harold J Smith.
I like that one. That will keep the thieves and kidnapers away. If they break in send them to hell and never leave with them, ever.My wife has this one. I would highly recommend it. .38 special. Very light and compact. She also has a .20 gauge coach shotgun by the bed. Again very light and easy to handle
Tonto BridgeDo you remember this guy? His name was Harold J Smith.
Jay Silverheels, of course........What do you mean, WE, Kemosahbee
I have a K-38 S & W that you could hit with. It has a looooong barrel.That is better than me. I am good with a rifle, but I can't hit with a pistol. My son is expert, my daughter is really good and dad is horrible.
There is no way I would watch any sporting event with a mask on. If it is so dangerous you have to wear a mask, I will stay home.Either the article I read earlier in the week was wrong, or a misprint, or the crowd said the heck with masks....but looking at the crowd at Indy, few have masks on. Good.
He needs the right ball and it won't go so far.I imagine bertfan31 is chasing that little white ball around. Just a wild guess.
What's up kemo sabe?Do you remember this guy? His name was Harold J Smith.

Ammo is hard to find. Went to a local "trade day" event (flea market type deal) and found a box of 200 5.56 at a decent price (high but decent in today's world). Jan loves the S&W Bodyguard revolver.
I got it installed last year.
