Newest restoration project is almost done

Making a new plate for the Willys. If I’m going to play a photographer for SHAEF, may as well have a plate to match

God what the hell is up with this place lately. I’ve never gotten so many errors until the last few weeks

Having to repair my old first aid bag tonight cause someone hung it on the side of the army truck and then drove it without checking where it’d rub. So then the tire wore a nice big hole in the corner. Half my bandaids, some gauze, and my iodine tablets fell out all over the highway

Don’t feel like forking out $150 for a M2 paratrooper helmet so converting this $50 reproduction M1 into an M2 helmet like what they would’ve used on D-Day. Already got the old bales removed, just gotta clean it up. Then weld on new and dress it up like the one on the right

Got the sign that hangs under it done too. Other side is gonna say “closed for event” since we rent out our O-club

Finally got the snaps added to the trench knife scabbard. Local friend and I ground off the hand guard to be more like what the paratroopers used in WW2 and gotta say, not bad for an amateur

Pup doing a strong man impression

Got the orange border added. Now to do touch ups around the edges

Doing some more sign painting today. This time a new sign to go outside our museum’s officer’s club

(2/2)

“I look like the flounder from SpongeBob and I own it”

“How do you compete with 9/11?”

“I don’t care what it takes! Bring me that fucking twink!”

"This episode of Bluey is called: Hate Crime!"

“Try not to die. It’s bad for your health.”

“Let’s watch Bluey and get finger blasted”

Over the last year or so I’ve been making a list of no context quotes I’ve collected from furries. Here is a small sample (1/2)

“When this con is over I’m gonna have trench dick”

“I know his problem. Fetal alcohol syndrome”

“Why do you have a Keystone Light tattooed on your ass?”

I’m not saying I need to finally see a podiatrist for my calluses, but just took a dremel with a sanding bit to my foot and didn’t feel anything😭

Just found a gas station receipt from 2020 in my desk drawer and fuck I wish gas was that cheap again

Friend took me to a gun store down the road and they’ve got this in here, fully functional for $20,000. Try to convince my bf I need it for home defense

Someone in a group chat being smart: your medical books got anything about cocaine?

Me: actually yeah! This one from 1942 in my library has a cocaine section :3

I remember years ago watching the last shuttle launch live on NASA’s TV channel. Now I’ve got the live stream of astronauts preparing to go to the moon on the TV. I’m so pumped today

Finally going a rank up on my old tanker jacket and uh… can you tell it’s been awhile since I was promoted?

Got it about 95% done. Gotta cut down the hand guard on the knife so it fits well, then I can accurately add a strap that’ll feed around the handle/brass knuckles to secure it

Got tired of not finding scabbards for my trench knife or ones I did find being expensive, so I’m making my own

My parents are approaching that age where I’m starting to look at their lab results like they used to look at my report card

We’re under a severe thunderstorm watch and I wish there was more cloud to ground lightning outside. I wanna take one of my film cameras out and do a long exposure to try and get a lightning bolt on film

Got this lighter I want to try and get functional soon. It’s a demiled WW2 Mk2 grenade that was converted into a table lighter after the war. Not sure what’s wrong with it but I’ll take it apart to investigate soon

Some big AI company bought like 230 acres of land near me planning to build a data center. Over 700 people showed up to the town hall meeting to oppose it last night

World bear day and national puppy day are both today? I guess I have twice the reason to celebrate

He’s not keen on guns so I keep telling him he can be a medic or a war correspondent with me. He seemed vaguely interested the other day

Bf likes to stage act with the local theater. I like to do history reenacting. Thus I’m trying to convince him to start reenacting with me by explaining that there’s a fair bit of acting involved, particularly during battles. We’ll see if I succeed in recruiting him

My old boss’s husband is an attorney and we used to quote this movie all the time when they’d host the Christmas party

Got a new shadow box to fit more of my RCAF items

We’re watching a classic tonight
