Reminds me of another good reason why we moved south. Lots colder where we moved from.

Not sure what this was made for but the gun barrel over the driver head would make me nervous if I was driving.

Just South of you a bit. Been to Marion to go to Song of the Mountains. Nice town. We ate at the BBQ place on main street across from the theater. Welcome TGO

I liked the idea in the story comments of loading them into pop machines to dispense ammo. Of course the weight dropping down into the delivery bin may be a problem. Would make interesting gifts.

Can't see the pistol very well but it is a neat picture.

Saw this novel ammo idea on TFB. Sell ammo in "Pop" cans, suck all the air out, replace with nitrogen and seal it up for long shelf life. Was announced at SHOT show. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2019/01/25/shot-2019-global-ordnance-canmunition/

Good walk with the dogs

I remember this siding being rolls of material similar to asphalt shingles. So I guess it would be an upgrade from a tar paper.

Any good captions other than the obvious "Get off my yard"

Welcome from another further East TGO. It may take you awhile to get accustom to living free, but it will come.

I thing this may be one of my friends up North or A Finnish soldiers keeps an eye on the front line during the Continuation War against the Soviet Union, 1942

Early 1900s Hiram Percy Maxim, son of the inventor of the Maxim gun, began developing early suppressors.

I missed that concept FC vehicle. Very neat but I agree with the comments, safety rules would make it impossible to go into production. I have owned a couple of forward control trucks Ford and Willys and I loved the feeling of sitting with my knees in front of the engine and being the first around a corner very good visibility, scary at first. Very maneuverable and compact. You knew you were going to be the first to arrive at any crash. If you put about 1000 pounds in the back it would practically climb a wall in low range. My FC 170 was around 15 feet long but had a 9 foot bed. The FC 150 was 3 feet shorter with a 6 foot bed. You actually had space in front of the engine in the cab. Was a pain to do any serious work on.

Not sure what is going on here.

I understood what you said. I am hoping that will be the case for me too. Just got my first 1099s today.

It is Willys FC. The FC stands for Forward Control. From the angle and people blocking the sides of the truck I can't tell if it is a FC150 or FC170. The visual difference is bed size/style and wheelbase. The 170 had a 6cyl the 150 a 4cyl and the 170 was rated for heavier loads. I use to own a 170, they are interesting trucks, they predate Ford and Dodge forward control vans by several years. They were introduced 1956-57. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Forward_Control From that angle it does look a lot like a standard Willys Pickup but I think I'm right here is a picture of the one I had.
