Howdy, PRO!

Having a good week so far? Still pup-sitting or has Robin returned from her trip?

I took a few pics at the museum last weekend and just remembered to get them on the computer. duh. I have a couple here.

This is a 1913 Patton Saber, designed by then Second Lieutenant George Patton. One of the new items acquired over the winter.

Here we have a reproduction Patton Saber hanging on a 1915 saddle, which is where the soldiers carried them.

Hiya radu!

Son's over tonight for dinner and hanging out, we're playing our video games.

Robin just got back from the east coast after visiting our daughter and is trying to get her body clock readjusted to our west coast time, she's hanging with the pups who missed her.

Very cool pictures, thanks.

Looks like that saber could do serious damage if you are on the wrong end.
