  1. An interesting article and video. Good use for an EV, run your house. And in the case of the new Ford F150 Lightning, it is cheaper than some other options and you get a pickup. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/home-electricity-cheaper-power-storage-from-f-150-lightning-than-tesla-powerwall/
  2. Not that familiar with the business but I assume that is moonshine equipment on the shelves. They must be the support staff.
  3. A hunting trip in 1950 by the Hines (Ill.) Veterans Administration Hospital veterans
  4. Reload, Someones Going To Die
  5. Tom Mix and his steed.
  6. I was with an independent agent till moving to TN and had planned to continue with one down here but all the small companies the independent brokers represented had a problem with our house because you could not see it from the road and no neighbors could see it. Our old house was the same way and they didn't have a problem (different state). None of the large companies had a problem so I went with Farm Bureau because I wanted all my insurance with one company/agent. Been with them over 6 years now and have been happy with them.
  7. This looks like it needs a caption?
  8. I would probably pick a 12 for single caps but if you do the whole roll 16 would be the minimum, bigger would be better.
  9. A soldier of the U.S. Seventh Marines carries a puppy in his pocket after rescuing it during an operation southwest of Da Nang in Vietnam on Jan. 22, 1968
  10. I don't know about the later Ford diesels but my 2000 7.3 had bad glow plugs for years. The only problem was starting in cold weather. Luckily I was already retired by the time they were bad and I plugged the block heater into an appliance module that I could switch on remotely. I would turn on the heater and hour or so before I needed to start it and it would start right up.
  11. I asked a friend that has a Volt hybrid (he agrees full electric is not for most people but loves his hybrid) about being stranded in a snow storm. He said, assuming a reasonable charge when they get stranded they could go days running the heater if they were conservative, heater takes a lot less power than motor. He lives in the North and he carries space blankets and said he would use the seat warmer with the space blanket over him and the passenger. Apparently he has tried this and he says it keeps you comfortable and uses less power than heating the whole car. He also uses the heated seats for most short trips rather than turn on the heat. I could probably be convinced to go hybrid if the battery gave me 40-60 miles. That would take care of most local trips and I could charge at home. Long trips you run on gas. Apparently they are working on batteries/charges that could give you a full charge in 10 minutes. If that became the norm then they could become the way of the future. Of course you still need to generate and distribute all the extra electricity. My friend says accept when they take a long trip they buy no gas, they just plug in at home every few days.
  12. French 370 mm howitzer M1915, manufactured by Schneider and used by the Germans as coastal artillery, captured by US troops in 1944
  13. Name the actors, movie and gun
  14. Since I read the forum daily, chronologically, I have not seen a problem. Not that many new ads that I can't skim to see if there is anything interested added since the day before. When I first joined I did scan down to see if something interested might still be available but now I don't need to go beyond the new posts.
  15. Looks to be a Luger, is the fellow next to her wearing a German uniform?
  16. Lewis & Sons Gun & Rifle Makers Ad
  17. Gebirgsjäger with AA MG 34 in mountains
  18. Guesses at the vintage of the ad?
  19. Morris Island, South Carolina. The shattered muzzle of a 300-pounder Parrott Rifle after it had burst, photographed in July or August of 1863
