Random Object Photographs

Not my photo, but a goodbye of note.
A restructuring of the USMC is underway, and will eliminate all their tank forces. This photo shows the ceremony to end the Marines 1st Tank Battalion, as the last of their tanks is transported from Twenty Nine Palms.

I did not know they were getting rid of the Marine's tank force. What else are they being forced to give up?
There is a new plan for the Corp called Force Design 2030 being implemented. Along with tanks, the bridging units are being eliminated. So much other traditional capability is being gutted from the force, it's disgusting. And a cockamamie basing scheme puts the remainder of the forces out in front of China like a speed bump to roll over. Crazy.

Drone support in Syria WOW!! - YouTube

This is why they don't need tanks anymore.
Unfortunately, the drones are not effective once our satellites are knocked out, and the Chinese opponent this reconfiguration is designed for has a robust anti-satellite ability.
I'd hate to see the South China Sea conflict they anticipate.

I wore a mask into a store for the first time today. ;)

I ran out of Otter Pops and its the only store in town that has them. :(

It almost made me wish I was married so I could send the wife in.

No, never mind. :D
I think you look amazing! Love the hat too! Keep it up [emoji1787][emoji1787]

I wonder do all you young guys know Pickup beds used to wood?



I bought this '58 Chevy back in 1977 for $100.
It had a wood bed.
Whoever the previous owner was must have has a shell of something over the bed because the wood was in excellent condition and still retained at least 80% of the original paint.

Too bad the rest of the truck wasn't in as good of shape.

It had the 235 inline 6 and no oil filter. It was optional for this engine and I guess it was a bare bones truck.
