Just dropping in to say.........

Wonderful information here. Thanks Valin for the recommendation on the book. Will put it on my book list.

Well.... have you ever had one of these days?

Great reminder about the 17th of May. We are going to a rally in Loveland, Colorado for our armed forces. We hope many people come out and show some support for the troops that have made this country what it is today. They give their all so that we can live in peace and out of harms way.

Hi beachn4fun. Love the BC cartoon, our local rag dropped BC as too Politically Incorrect.

She mounted either a 14" or 16" gun.
