    WW2 tanks for sale

    You can actually visit the Tank Farm in Va. outside of Wash. D.C. This is a veteran oriented facility where old tanks, and other Heavy Automatic Weapons such as Dusters are kept and there are events where the public can attend to see them in action. I have been there with my Vietnam veterans...

    AKB: need info on selling my house without a realtor.

    Another issue is if your house has anything that is unique versus comparable houses in your area, that will be used for comps. For instance, do you have ten acres when everyone else has two. Or do you have barns and a horse paddock plus border state land that allows for riding but other...

    Joe Moorhead info.

    I think Moorhead has to find out how flexible Kirk Ferentz will be with a new OC. Brian Ferentz did exactly what his Dad wanted him to do and they won a lot of low scoring games but did not have the flexibility to be multi-dimensional when playing top teams. I doubt Kirk Ferentz is going to...

    Florida State to Big-10?

    The above link plus other articles regarding Maryland's leaving of the ACC signals that the GOR is a bump in the road and after the lawsuits on both sides, the issue would be negotiated down to something that is simply part of the financial decision to switch conferences. So I would say that...

    OT: Lawn Maintenance Costs

    In western Ct. on the NY border in northern Fairfield County I have about 3 acres of land on a 3 acre pond I share with a couple of other neighbors. It would be too expensive to have them do everything so I did a deal with a mower to do just my main lawn areas that abut a neighbors property and...

    OT: Snow birdie thoughts and/or recommendations for Myrtle Beach or Florida?

    I retired in 2000 and stayed in Ct. for the first four years until I had an epiphany of sorts while ice fishing on a local lake during a heavy snow fall. So the next year we took a road trip down the east coast starting at the DelMarVa peninsula hitting every coastal town and small city all the...

    Bear Bryant’s retirement included plans for Penn State football and Red Sox

    https://oldmainframe.com/product/bear-in-the-lions-den/ One picture of this event. I remember another one taken at a distance showing him leaning against the goal post and you could see most of the end zone with Penn State written on the grass.

    Are these Ohio U. bobcat mascots or just natures bobcats?

    I have seen two in the woods in my 77 years and I hunt and fish a lot. One in Ct. near my house while bow hunting in the early Fall. It was alone and sneaking along a tiny creek probably looking for frogs or ground rodents. It never knew I was there. The second was in eastern NY along the...

    Are these Ohio U. bobcat mascots or just natures bobcats?

    Nothing unusual about a trail cam picture like this excepting that the female mother cat (larger animal lower right in picture) still has four live kittens born in the spring still alive in the late fall. I would expect attrition would leave her with maybe two kits. Other than that argument it...

    reports are that the holiday bowl tonight will be cancelled

    Back a few years ago during the sanctions didn't we play a game with something like less than 40 scholarship players?

    Bad news for fishermen and fish eaters

    I don't find much that comes from the U.N. as particularly accurate but there are some points in the IRIN article that are true. That there will be no fish by 2050 is not one of them but some countries are doing a lousy job of protecting stocks and will continue to damage their fisheries...

    Feral hogs! Choot'em Lizbeth! Choot'em! Your experience with these pesky critters??

    The meat is very good if they are feeding on crops. I was hunting deer and hogs in S.C. two weeks ago and shot three hogs, average weight was around 170 pounds per hog. All were head shot from a tree stand which saves the meat and drops them right in place so no dangerous tracking a wounded boar.

    When you are one of the most famous men in the world and no one recognizes you

    Mick Jagger always had a penchant for "hanging out" going back to his early days in the mid-70s. In 1975 he stayed at Andy Warhol's beach compound in Montauk known then as simply the "cottages". Montauk in those days, even though it is technically a village within the Town of East Hampton...

    OT: How's everyones' garden this year. My tomatoes and dill size cukes have been crushing it lately. Grew some lettuce as well.

    My garden is pretty much done too here in western Ct. Within a bit more than a week we had Henri and then Ida. We started with a cold spring with lots of rain, then a rainy summer, and now more rain and water and a dwindling summer. Peppers and beans did well, squash and pumpkins not so...

    Savannah PSU Bars?

    I am in the SC low country for the Ohio State game and out in the boonies at a hunting club so I have been looking for a sports bar down around Hilton Head to Savannah. Here is a list of Savannah sports bars. https://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=sportsbars&find_loc=Savannah%2C+GA If you are...

    Ida set to hit PA & NJ Wed. into Thurs. (Sep. 1-2)

    Western Ct. along the NY border. I am a part owner of a grist mill pond that is pre-revolutionary but has a huge dam built of flat boulders. There are five co-owners and it is about four acres in size averaging 15 feet in depth. It drains an 80 acre glacial lake outlet stream and three...

    OT: How's everyones' garden this year. My tomatoes and dill size cukes have been crushing it lately. Grew some lettuce as well.

    Back in the 1950s my family used to camp at Hither Hills and on the way out there was a house in Watermill right on Rt. 27, on the right side of the road, that had their entire front yard planted in veggies and had a vegetable stand on the road. We would stop and buy for the week. Running...
