Continental has been out of business for years. Must have happened some time ago.

Rusty Red Craws are an invasive species in Wiscon as in. Eau Claire Lakes have a ton of them

Oldest Recruit In the History of Parris Island- The average age of a United States Marine Corps recruit is 21 years old. When Paul Douglas enlisted in 1942, he left behind his wife, child, and career and reported to Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island at the ripe age of 50. After completing boot camp, Douglas proudly wrote “I found myself able to take the strenuous boot camp training without asking for a moment's time out and without visiting the sick bay.” Following a recommendation from his commanding officer (and a strong recommendation from his old friend Frank Knox,) Douglas was commissioned as a captain in the Marine Corps, after seven months as an enlisted Marine. Douglas went on to serve in the battle of Okinawa, often being remembered by Marines for running around the battlefield with the vigor of a much younger Marine. He was promoted to major during the battle of Okinawa. Douglas had been hit by a machine gun in his left forearm and was evacuated by the men that he had dedicated his life to serving. After being hit, he proceeded to use his uninjured hand to take off his major rank insignia so that he wouldn’t receive special attention. Douglas expressed passionate interest in returning early to his men to continue serving on the front lines. He was hospitalized in San Francisco and subsequently moved to Bethesda, Maryland where it took more than 14 months to be dismissed from the hospital and was medically retired from the Marine Corps, only regaining partial use of his left hand. Because of his brave actions under fire and unselfish service he was promoted to lieutenant colonel a year after he retired in January of 1947. After returning to Chicago as a war hero, Douglas won his spot as Illinois state senator in 1949. Even in public office Douglas continued to advocate for the Marine Corps, and proudly kept the Marine Corps standard displayed in office.

Freshwater crustaceans. It's whats for dinner.

Glad I have my loaded. It is a fine rifle.

RIGHTEOUS AMONG THE NATIONS—Here is America's only soldier to ever receive Israel’s highest honor conferred on non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. On this day 77 years ago, facing the threat of immediate execution, he and his men displayed an act of courage and character that exemplifies what it means to take a stand against evil. US Army Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, 422nd Infantry Regiment, 106th Infantry Division, the “Golden Lions”, was captured by German forces at the onset of the Battle of the Bulge. A native of Knoxville, TN, Edmonds was 25 years old. He had only been on the front line for five days when his unit was overrun. Edmonds' captors marched him east where he was transferred to Stalag IX-A, a camp for enlisted personnel just east of Bonn, Germany. As the senior noncommissioned officer at the camp, Edmonds found himself responsible for 1,275 American POWs. On January 27, 1945, the Camp Commandant ordered Edmonds to assemble all the Jewish-American soldiers so they could be separated from the other prisoners. Defiantly, Edmonds assembled all 1,275 American POWs. Furious, the German commandant walked quickly up to Edmonds, placed a pistol against Edmonds' forehead, and demanded that he identify the Jewish soldiers within the ranks. Edmonds, a keen and dedicated Baptist, responded sternly, "We are all Jews here." Edmonds then warned the commandant that if he wanted to shoot the Jews, he'd have to shoot everyone, and that if he harmed any of Edmonds' men, the commandant would be prosecuted for war crimes when Germany lost. Edmonds then recited that the Geneva Conventions required POWs to give only their name, rank, and serial number, not their religion. The commandant backed down. Edmonds' actions are credited with saving 200 Jewish-American soldiers from being murdered. He survived 100 days of captivity, and returned home after the war, but kept the event at the POW camp to himself. He never told anyone. Edmonds later served in Korea. It was only after Edmonds’ death in 1985 and the review of his diaries by his son that his story came to light. Jewish-American POWs, including Sonny Fox who after the war became an executive with NBC. He verified the story as did other POWs who were glad to share. The State of Israel declared Edmonds “Righteous Among the Nations” in 2015. Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. As we pause to remember the 6 million Jews and 11 million others murdered at the hand of their captors, we also commend all Allied Veterans who helped bring the tyranny of the Third Reich to an end. Master Sergeant Edmonds and the 1,275 American soldiers who stood defiantly with him on this day were a part of that story. We are the benefactors, and we pause to give our thanks. All The Way and more. Photo, courtesy of Yad Vashem: World Holocaust Center, Jerusalem, The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous and The Rev.

Even better!

These guys make good quality stuff, usually at a significant discount to the competition. It is Chinese though. https://rticoutdoors.com/Shotgun-Rifle-Carrying-Case?name=Shotgun-Rifle-Carrying-Case&size=53in&color=Black

I found my convection oven will do the same thing and work as well as my air fryer if I use a rack.So I gave it to my son. Have started using it in the winter instead of setting up the deep fryer outside for a fish fry. It is almost as good and a lot less mess.

I stand corrected. I knew it was someone related to Van Halen at one time or another.

Yeah there is. I think “Cabo Wabo” is out of business. That was Van Halen’s bar down there back in the mid/late 90’s. Ate a lot of seafood down there and got hooked on Pacifico. Fred Dryer ex Ram defensive end and actor from the old show “Lands End” showed up in a restaurant we were at back then. We have friends now bought a house in La Paz. Got to get down and see them. Have a good time! Go fishing with the Pisces Fleet if you get a chance.

Stihl are good, but always thought Jonsrud were better.

Been to Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, but did not make it to Cerritos Beach. Barely remember a night at The Laughing Marlin.

Nice looks like Portugal, maybe?

Mike sorry he won’t be in your life any more, but glad you had him as long as you did. Toughest part about this age is saying goodbye to our loved ones.

Hey Mac, those little guys are tough. My sister had two. Male was “Diesel” and the name fit. Stay safe, stay invisible.

Yep. It’s all about setting up a demand for something to maximize profit.

Depends on the methodology. If demand was needed there are plans and techniques for utilizing solar arrays and using seawater as a base to separate the oxygen and hydrogen molecules. Still less energy and heavy metal contamination then large scale lithium battery production for electric cars. In addition fewer rare earth metals needed, which are a Chinese near monopoly right now. Plus the platinum and precious metals now for catalytic converters would be eliminated. There will be no perfect solution to this issue.

Big mistake. From a pollution and precious metal standpoint, Hydrogen power makes more sense. Produces nothing but water vapor.

Your odds are better!🤣

Then I will be keeping my current Hemi truck for 300,000 miles.

Hit the nail on the head. And it will stay that way until we lose a war because of it. they bungled the F22 acquisition. The F35 was supposed to be the “cheap” F16 replacement. So much for that. If an F35 gets into a dogfight with a Su35 it is allover. We will see what happens.
