"The Cold Blue" on TCM Tonight

The Sub-Zero temps in the unheated, un-pressurized B-17's. Relentless Documentary with The 8th.

A Film unlike "The Memphis Belle" or "The Best Years of Our Lives"

A great documentary, one that I was vaguely aware of before. My ex father in law flew B-17's over Germany in WWII. He was Jewish and I used to tease him about getting shot down, "Fred, what would you do on the way down?" "Throw my dog tags away", "Hell, with that nose it would do no good". A great man and one hell of a plane driver. Loved the "Colonel" and loved to watch him and his squadron mates fly after their returning from Vietnam. "The Best Years of our Lives" was one hell of a movie. It was an Academy Award winner for good reason. I highly recommend both for different reasons. WWII wasn't my war, but we all had many of the same problems coming home. and may the gods damn those that sent us off to fight wars that never should have been fought. Never Forget! Semper Fi to all!

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
