I did get my VA card and full DD214! My dad and I were at Cabeleas (KC, KS) at Halloween, he asked if they had vets discount there and the checkout counter. They said yes. She gave him a nice discount after showing his VA card. Surprised us both. I've heard about the Home Depot discount...

Just for information, locomotive horns/whistles have "socks" covering the trumpets, to keep snow, ice and other Debris out. That includes water. Nothing like getting them iced up during a snow storm. We will use the horns periodically during snow/ice storms, to keep them from being muffled or...

All monopolies can make a profit, as long as they are monopoly.

Way does it do to the people driving the other way? I mean, are they going to be blinded and have issue with not being able to see?

What a beautiful find! ���� I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Why not just use a 20 or 40 foot shipping container instead. My thinking is that even a gp small is to heavy to throw on your shoulder. The shipping container can be locked, protect you from zombies, bears, "po cats" and mother/monster-in-laws. What ever you use, your gonna need a truck to...

I'd better not say what I want, but the track condition here was not much of an improvement. One of the culprits was bad tie plates. They had a raised divot from the manufacturing process, that would break the rail, when trains went over the tracks. They had to spend a lot of money to fix...

You need to use a bunch more GAA and eblow grease! :mrgreen: roflrofl

I was stationed at FT. Eustis, VA in 1987- 1988, as a member 7th Transportation group. They had 2 US Army locomotives. Phonetically speaking, it was spelled "F**k This, Even Uncle Sam Thinks It Sucks." However, I thought it was a really nice post. I would have re-up'd if I was going to stay...

Didn't many POW camps (on both sides) have a garden?

I'd love to put some pictures/videos of some of thoser SP toilets, but the mods would think it was to discusting, any pull the thread, then UPRR management would do their typical thing. If I am gone, waite for the you tube video to come out when I am fired or retired. You really need to be a...

The poll is flawed, I couldn't vote for the forum and vote that ferro is nuts. My thoughts are: Why not?

Let me see if I can get this right: In Kalifornia, I can't own an "assult weapon" but I can own a tank?:doghead:

Considering the poor treatment of veterans in the past, anything that gives them respect and an upper hand is wonderful. After my stint in the regular Army, I was in the active reserves and later transferred to the Missouri Army National Guard. Served, in one form or another, for my 8 years...

The following article was in a local Missouri newspaper: [Gladstone Dispatch: Volume 2, Issue 42, page A2 (Dated September 6, 2012)] As part of Senate Bill 470, signed by Gov. Jay Nixon and effective on Aug. 28, veterans may now obtain a veteran designation on their Missouri driver's...

:ditto: for the fuel pump. Check that distributor for cracks. Had a vehicle that when the engine got warm, a crack in the cap would "suck in moisture", had problems until I replace the cap, cleaned everything on the inside. Worked perfectly after that. I could only assume that the change...

Cool!

Nylon straps are good, real good, when compared to ropes. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier to use. BUT, chains for heavy loads are so much better. The trailers in the pictures look fine the way they are nestled together. Looks great actually. However, little wal-mart straps do flap in the wind and...

I need some for my deer stand and Polaris Ranger too!

At Palmerola, Air Base in Honduras, 1988. Some folks had some cucv's that were white, tan, red, etc, all in 100 % civie colors. They were never painted camo or OD or other military colors, outside or inside. Despite being military duplicates (even had blackout lights). "Civilian" US gov...
