Woo-Hoo Ma, thanks and ONLY 10 MORE DAYS UNTIL SPRING!
I would very much like to go to the Ordnance Museum there. The armored fighting vehicle in the photograph is a World War 2 German “Jagdtiger,” which was an turretless anti-tank assault gun mounted on a Mark VI Tiger chassis. The gun was a 120mm, matched in size only by the 122mm on the Soviet Stalin tank, and surpassed by the 152 gun/howitzer mounted on the Soviet SU-152 assault gun.
I could probably spend a full day at that place.
My son called from boot camp today. He mostly wanted to make sure I am coming down for his graduation April 10-11, and to bring his cell phone. I couldn’t hear him very well, and they only gave him three minutes. I either need a hearing aid or a better phone.
Evening, Kathy! Happy Monday.
Drove by it but never assigned there.
Good evening, Pro...((HUGS))...did you remember all your clocks?
Spring is coming? Possible snow all week. DST means it is DARK again on my drive to work. d:o(
Will you get more rain in spring?
Hi Everybody!
((((HUGS))))
Happy Spring! It is time to thaw out and smell the flowers, at least as soon as the peek their little heads out.
And you, of course, cannot wait to get there and see him again.
So proud!
Hi Kathy, I got all my clocks reset Saturday morning :-) good to go here. Of course more rain is coming but tomorrow starts clear and warm for us thru the weekend, maybe 70, THANKYOU ALBORE!
Thanks for a cool road trip, Galz! :)
Lauren...you need a vacation! LOL!
You betcha!
We’ll only have him ten days, then he is off to advance training in South Carolina, I think.
Read: James 3:1-12
Former US President Harry Truman had a rule: Any letters written in anger had to sit on his desk for 24 hours before they could be mailed. If at the end of that “cooling off” period, he still felt the same sentiments, he would send the letter. By the end of his life, Truman’s unmailed letters filled a large desk drawer.
How often in this age of immediate communication would even 24 minutes of wise restraint spare us embarrassment! In his epistle, James addressed a universal theme in human history when he wrote about the damage an uncontrolled tongue can bring. “No man can tame the tongue,” he wrote. “It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison” (3:8).
When we’re gossiping or speaking in anger, we find ourselves outside the lines of what God desires. Our tongues, our pens, and even our keyboards should more often fall silent with thanks in our hearts for the restraint God provides. All too often, when we speak we remind everyone of our brokenness as human beings.
When we want to surprise others with the difference Christ makes, we may need to look no further than restraining our tongue. Others can’t help but notice when we honor God with what we say—or don’t say.
Unfortunately the information in this post is outdated.
The hardware of the Ordnance Museum has been moved to Fort Lee, Virginia along with the rest of the Ordnance School.
I worked as a member of the automotive gun crew at Aberdeen for 30 years from 1979 to 2009 (after 4 years in the Army) and it was an awesome career, to say the least.
I was sad to see the items go, the Atomic Cannon, Anzio Annie and many other unique large and small pieces of foreign and domestic miltary history.
APG’s mission is changing but it is still at the forefront of our nations military readiness and I’ll be looking forward to its 100th anniversary in 3 years.

while sailing around there, watch out, and don’t anchor in the areas marked unexploded ordinance. I always wondered how good those charts where.
