Remember the hedge clippers?

I would but my wife, the gardener-in-chief of stately Aktung Manor,

has drafted me to clean/reorganize her toolshed.

We're just getting past putting in the veggie garden boxes, timed sprinklers etc. during the 15% imposed drought cutbacks for Napa. All meticulously rototilled by me. I like eating three meals a day...so I do what I'm told or I'll B a

cheeky sod! Such is the nature of nuptial bliss after 41 years!

Having an enjoyable weekend

wise; caught Pursuit of the Graf Spee, Destination Tokyo, Up Periscope, Run Silent Run Deep, and next is my favorite: The Enemy Below

They're all somewhat patriotically hoakie,(cinematic poetic license??

) but at least in Destination Tokyo, Cary Grant is using an iswas to compute the torpedo setup! ...and there are no dud Mark 14 torpedos in the Bungo Strait for Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster in RSRD??!!

You left off Submarine Command 1951 War with William Holden, Don Taylor, Nancy Olson

Eichhörnchen · 06-04-21, 01:43 PM

I always liked Don Taylor (Don Who? I hear some of you younger guys ask) and I have his autograph on an old photo somewhere. He was very entertaining as Robin Hood in "The Men of Sherwood Forest" (1954)

I hear you, am in the process (ordered) of building a tool shed or little 'machine shop' for home repairs, little does she know it will become a dedicated man cave ..
