NICE find! The green is a little too green and the red in the tab is a little too orange but it looks great.

As to the shoot and scoot I always wondered how far we would get after the first missiles went up. I figured the only thing that might get some of us a second shot was that we had 108 launchers and the Luftwaffe had about the same number.

Msdrby made a stop at the Disney store today. Bittygirl got a Cinderella nightgown with slippers.

This shot was taken by Spiderboy. He does good work when he slows down enough.

While in Disney mode, Goofy showed up.

Spiderboy had an eye exam today. His dilated eyes give a calming feeling.

Hey, Darksheare, this thread is beginning to take on some characteristics of the "undead."

The movie "October Sky" was pretty darn cool. Messin' around with rockets and stuff. Oh btw, our good turned out to really be a rocket scientist.

OUCH, xeroxed shoulder?
Yikes.

Good luck, hopefully it's nothing seriouss, and relatively minor to deal with.

"October Sky" was a terrific movie, one of the few "adult" movies I can play and enjoy with no embarrassment with my kids.

BTW, Homer is also a military history buff. He wrote Torpedo Junction, a rather depressing but still inspiring story of the war against the U-Boats off the S.E. U.S. coast at the beginning of WWII.

Zombie first class CT, on TDY as armor branch liaison to the bicyclespankentruppen brigade, reporting for undead duty.

Sam and Snip's last daily post ought to be good for at least 1000.

FR is my favorite forum, the Foxhole my favorite part of it. God bless Sam and Snippy for the wonderful job they have done.
I have learned so much about our true heroes.

My Dad was one, by the way. A tanker, trained under Patton, 2nd Armored Division. Yet retrained in Amtracs and sent to the Pacific war. In the 24th Division in the Korean War. A soldier through and through.
