Wow, thanks for sharing those Pat. Man whoever got the 274 & has it runnin' should be one proud individual. That 3/4T with the B-17 behind is a money shot. Nice work.

The 274 looked brand new, I don't know if he restored it or bought it from surplus. I just wish he'd put the information in front of it instead of on it. It's a little hard to see the 60 and all the ammo boxes that he had on it. The 3/4 looked new, too, as did some of the Jeeps. I'd planned on taking more pictures but once our flight got canceled my wife wanted to head home and get the dog out of the kennel. They had displays of various rations over the years, weapons, (2 of the Jeeps had rifle scabbards, with rifles, and one had a rig I'd never even heard of. It was a medal holder that was attached to the dashboard and the rifle was inserted up into it. It had a quick release lever to free it either to the driver or front seat passenger. It was well worth the $15 we didn't spend to see it. We got in free since we had booked a flight. Whole day cost us nothing.

BTW, the 17 was taxiing behind the 3/4, you just can't tell that the props are turning.

The weekend is almost here.
Hip Hip Hooray.

...of course, it is supposed to be crappy weather all weekend so I probably wont get to go skydiving and I probably wont get to play dress up and shoot my cowboy guns.

I could probably sit some steel targets up in my yard and shoot from inside the garage but that may or may not upset some of my neighbors.

Pro tip: They get less agitated when their pictures aren't glued to the targets.

A little rain doesn’t deter a real cowboy.

Neighbors don’t deter a real cowboy, either.

That smoke hangs in the air so much better with a little humidity.

Another reason for suppressed firearms. HOAs should REQUIRE them.

I just listened and want to share - encourage all to listen...warning...damn allergies...computer screen may get a little fuzzy.

THIS is the real reason the SJWs want to ban Kate Smith. This song should create happy thoughts for all Americans !

Great way to end a work week and start the weekend !

God Bless America !
