Morning old *******s.

So, if you had a child on the United States Olympic team would you feel comfortable sending him/ her to China to compete on the Olympic team?

Part of me thinks the actual chinese government wasn't behind what ever this is. I can't see them working with Gates and Foucci and the nasty like. However, I remember the limits they put on parents with regard to how many children they were allowed to have years back. If the Chi Government wasn't involved you would think they would hang those people publicly who work at that institute and spill all the beans to show what the Merican bastages actually were up to just to make our Gov look bad.

This thing, what ever it is, keeps circling back and slowly picking off people in our little itty bitty small town. My friend who passed was pleading in the hospital for Ivermectin a day before he went on to the next. 2 days later they are starting to give it out now. I have another friend who works in medical administration who says if you think Covid is bad, wait until you see everything they anticipate blaming on the 5G roll out. Something stinks - But we all know that.

If Big is out there. (I don't know - I don't need to know) There is a story going around the Net about a big fire in a place called Big Sur California. And all I want to say is Big Sur, Sir, I hope you and yours along with any property you might have are all safe. - I'm Out - Real work for several more days. Side note today is day 7 of 60/60, still not dry enough yet. I plan on going 10 to 14 days and maybe switch to brown paper bags or something. Drying alone is going to cost me 2 to 350 just keeping the heat on in my oversized drying space.

My uncle Helmet I know its on the wall in basement
Had my surplus Demilled Bazooka next to it but had to take down due to someone saying I owned a rocket launcher
You should see the military stuff I have found at yard sales and other places
One time I bought a real bazooka rocket small diameter with tail fins WW2 era and after I got it home thought it was live until I dismantled it inert. That was a bit scary.
The rocket had the name of the soldiers company and other info still have it

If yer talkin' WWI Doughboy helmets... replicas go for about $80 or so. Genuine from about $150 to $200. One with a genuine-from-the-trenches, not from the back yard might bring considerably more as a rare oddity.

Dinged helmets are pretty rare from WWI. If a dude got starched through the helmet... they generally just threw the helmet away.

When I was about ten, I found a trench mortar and a rifle grenade in our local dump. The inert rifle grenade would not fit down into the mortar. But I played with that mortar for a long time.

When I was a kid, I was over at a friend's house doing some kid type swapping. Can't remember what I had that Dave wanted, but he took me into his garage and I spotted a 104 Howitzer brass shell casing. I picked it up and noticed it was a bit heavier than I anticipated. I turned it upside down to look for a date (1943), and an 88mm complete round fell out onto the cement floor. Landed business end first, thank Buddha. Still had the primer in the case.
There would have been some stew meat under what was left of the garage, for sure.

I think you mean 105mm
