The CZickness XLVI...What's next my friends.

[patience0830]

Well no FGE for Henri and I. We have a family reunion the second Saturday of October every year.

Wish I'd known sooner, might coulda changed it. Barb will be sad that Henri can't come. Her side of the family or yours? If It's yours I'll just run up and steal Henri for the w/e!

new bore, well head, pressure tank and switch. They about hung the bore truck trying to get out. Ruts are knee deep. 80' deep. Water rises to 10' below the top of the pipe. 100 gpm according to the bore team. They said it was nearly a gusher.

We have a tanker in our class and he arranged for us to go check out the latest version of the Abrams tank, brand new. I guess I have never really seen one up close but they are massive.

Been a long day, added some rockauto magnets to the collection. Just finished up installing 4 new control arms, wheel bearings, and sway bar links in the truck. It would’ve went alot quicker if the upper control arm bolts didn’t fight me tooth and nail. It drives alot better now even though the caster is all out of whack lol. Goes Monday for a transmission flush and alignment, then we’re off to see the family in Illinois.

All good, except for the ruts.... those can be tedious to repair
I both split, and cut a fair amount of wood today. When I was younger (even just 15 years), I could do twice the work in half the time. My back was very perturbed by the activity !

They added 20 mm on the wings as time went on. American bomber crews faced a pile of firepower on those fighters but they did reduce their performance. Mustangs ate up german fighters configured to shoot down bombers.

I'll need to consult my books to be sure of the nose cannon.

Consulting Heinz Nowarra, Mouse is correct the nose cannon was a 20 mm designated MG/FF. The Mk 108 30 mm comes much later as 88 posted.

I remember seeing an hour long documentary on those bomber killers. Those in charge knew we were well on course to ending their abilities to make war with our endless waves of carpet bombing. And this was part of the role the Mustang came to play in, getting the heavy’s over there with fewer losses.
Some of the footage showed how devastating the cannons were to the bomber air frames. Nose to tail and vice versa.

Good Morning Laddies...

Up @ 4:30 who knows why

All good things today - Got band practice for a Festival Music Thang on Sept 24th in Greenwood.

On a different note - - - - I'm 99.9% sure I CAN MAKE THIS YEAR'S FGE F I N A L L Y

RFT. Took my lame behind to bed at 9. Now I'm up with the chickens.

GM all. Supposed to be quite a nice weekend. Gonna spend the morning helping Dad work outside. After that it's up to the girls.

I, too, will VERY sadly not be in attendance at FGE this year. Bums me good, I miss faces. That weekend is Pickle Lady and I's 10 year anniversary (a couple for 15). Taking her to Savannah, Ga for 4 days. Fancy hotel in historic downtown district. Can't believe she's put up with my crap for so long.

The Sun light cycle is obvious. Less every day.
I sure hope we have a pretty fall season this year.

I would like some color in the trees as opposed to the more recent "wither and drop" we've had last 2 years. Stayed green too long, made bow season a wash for me last year.

Kind of goes without saying I won’t be at the FGE either. Not with the way things are going now. But know I will be there in spirit my friends.

I have a conflict developing for the FGE as we have a daughters wedding the weekend before and I need to be in NYC the Monday after the FGE - both which are dates beyond my control. Just going to have to see how time works out.

Singlehandedly the greatest amusement ride I have or will ever ride on this planet. I heard an unconfirmed report of a revival of this in FL.
