 VanceCrozier:

 

Why has Manny been so quiet the past few days?? Even highly-decorated Field Marshalls go to the cottage on long weekends. I have just had these pics forwarded to me by my advanced recon contact in coastal Maine - P38jl, keep a good distance from the subject, he's been known to turn on paparazzi!

Manny has a fried cat sandwich w cheese

 

Please tell Manny to be especially careful around stoves with pilot lights-especially so close.

 

If Manny has been partaking of his favorite beverage, the pilot flame might cause Manny to disappear in a puff of smoke...

I was thinking the same thing - luckily there is a firefighter present & on-call.

Well, mini-Manny has been providing adult supervision to me with my T-62A BB gun target Made in USSR GB.

Its good to know that he's always there when I need him.

 

especially for seam inspection....

Mini-Manny hates it when I use turned-aluminium gun barrels.

But they do look good!

Best, however , to use the strong Russian steel forged at Stalingrad !Wink

Mini-Manny has been bitching complaining lately about the lack of a "Ural Bomber" to take out production at "Tankograd".  I keep telling him to "...let it go...", but he doesn't listen to a mere Major of Field Artillery.

Sounds like a good day to work on a kit.  Bad for painting, but okay for anything else.

Definitely a bad day for attaching new aluminum trim to replace the sections ripped off during 50 mph winds last February.

Not so far. Shouldn't this discussion be on the "Odds and Ends" thread? Whistling  Its an end, and I'm sure its odd.

Well, if Manny doesn't mind questioning the size of his *** in the HO thread, then I must presume it's not too odd.

Of course, Manny only did it for the good of the thread and to get it moving again.

He then went back to bed and dreams of BBQ Kharkov cat ribs.....
