In the last logging camp I worked in, the Superintendent left us in charge of the powder shack so that we could drill and blow up small rock protrusions in the logging roads. We went fishing instead...CIL wobblers. A wobbler is a fishing lure. CIL is a dynamite name....good times

I type in "-AI" after my search request, without the quotation marks.

Not as good as I wanted to get but my danglers started to freeze up

-20C/-5F WC -33C/-27F with 50km/h winds and snow. At times I can't see the house across the street

Nice, Don. Building the Promodeler version, a "Shelf of Doom", "White 61" right now. I think I started it sometime during 2002

A nicely done wire beater

That is really cool

When I was a driller's helper in the first logging camp I worked in we would fill 3' tubes with AMEX, three to a hole with half a stick of dynamite....ka-freakin-boom. I also learned the hard way what a nitroglycerine headache felt like

Looking better all the time, Karl

Looks very sharp, Karl. I bet your happy to see the backend of all that masking

Works boss worked for me in the papermill and one of the grader operators was a blaster on my crew in the mine

District snowblower struggling. Has to double cut because they left it for too long. When I retired I went to the Public Works boss and told him I could work nights at a reduced rate to keep the roads open and take the extra work off his crews. He politely laughed and said no.

Good call. I just finished an Fw190F-8 with RLM75/82 on top

Really nice. Late war colours are at times a nightmare even with a B&W photo. Ask five people, get five different answers. I go with mob rules, whatever colours have the most mentions, wins. If someone has an authentic eyewitness account.....wninnerest. Good luck

Was reminiscing about Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and remembered seeing this band for the first time and the next day went out and bought one of their albums https://youtu.be/svSV_G65CF4?si=Mebxeu_d5laV5vFu
