re: Anyone Familiar with Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park?
Posted by USAF_Vol on 6/5/22 at 2:30 pm
Email the visitor center and talk to a park ranger. I had family fight at Cold Harbor and was curious where his regiment made the attack.
They have a ton of resources and even scanned some articles and maps.
With that help, I found that his regiment was in Grants Ill fated second attack that he regretted the most. Even mentioned it in his memoirs.
As far as my relative, he was wounded and captured and died at Libby Prison. No known grave at the cemetery in Richmond due to them moving the graves after the fall of the city.
Cool stuff, and the park rangers love discussing and helping find information.

re: Can you get high on cannabis without smoking it?
Posted by USAF_Vol on 2/27/22 at 7:04 pm
Yes. If you are in a phone booth breathing the air for several hours.
If you’re worried about a drug test, most measure nano grams of a sample that metabolized in the body.
Contact tracing is very rare.

re: Went down the ancestry rabbit hole: Why would someone change spelling of last name?
Posted by USAF_Vol on 12/21/21 at 11:50 am
Lots of replies so it may have been answered.
Simple, lots of people couldn’t read or write so they spoke the name and someone else wrote it down how they thought it was spelled.
My name has different spellings and it I was told this is the reason.
My Dad traced my ancestors coming to the US. My current last name starts with a C but my ancestors last name started with a K. When saying the name out loud it is easy to see how it was spelled differently.

re: OT diabetics, which pump do you use?
Posted by USAF_Vol on 12/2/21 at 3:51 pm
I use a Medtronic with the guardian CGM. It has its moments but I love auto mode.
My son has a dexcom and we just got his t-slim pump. We have not done the education class yet but it’s scheduled so can’t give real feedback on it.
From what I’ve read though it is very good.

Finger slipped. Did not mean to downvote this.
To OP. Cherish the days you have. I can’t describe the void I have without my Dad. I am lost and think of him everyday.
I remember him talking about wanting to see his Mom again before he passed (Whom I never met).

re: 156 Years Ago: Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House
Posted by USAF_Vol on 4/9/21 at 10:13 pm
Great write up as usual. My favorites of the action were Lincoln’s reply to intercepting Sheridan’s dispatch that “if the thing were pressed they could compel Lee to surrender” Lincoln would tell Grant “Let the thing be pressed”.
And Lee seeing his battered army pour in from Saylors Creek “My God, has the army dissolved”.

This melt is sad.
I was part of the 332nd AEW when I was in Iraq. Was a known fact it was derived from the Redtails. An honor to be a part of that group of Patriots.
Go AF. Sink Navy.

re: How to reseason cast iron
Posted by USAF_Vol on 9/12/20 at 2:53 pm
As mentioned a ton of YouTube videos on it. I’ve had to reseason a few times after being lazy.
When you do bake it, don’t add too much oil. I added way too much after a vigorous scrub and a lot dropped on the bottom of the oven. The long bake turned into lots of smoke and the house smelling bad.

Lots of pages and given the content don’t want to read.
Go and put him to rest. But don’t be an a-hole and let the Vet do it alone.
They are panicked and search for you when they are scared. Be there and hold him.
It’s painful to see them fluff the nose and take that last breath. I’ve had to do the same cause of BS cancer. It sucks but I couldnt bear to let him be alone during it.

Soy sauce and vinegar marinade for a night. Don’t recall the ratio but they are not overly salty and very good.
re: Who here has a laser on their conceal carry weapon?
Posted by USAF_Vol on 8/7/20 at 9:56 am
Have have an XDS with a crimson trace as my conceal carry.
I hear most defense use is in close range or confined space and thought a laser would help if you have no time to aim.
Alien gear holsters make some with laser attachments. I have an IWB and OWB holster and it fits perfectly. Prefer IWB to conceal.

BGE has a new band that is easier to open. You can lift it with one finger. Saw someone mention that feature mentioned in a previous comment.
I have a BGE and when doing research found everyone compared their grill to a BGE.

I enjoy your posts on this subject. I really do. I am a very avid CW historian. Not meaning any harm or derision but where do you come up with your posts on battles? They are incredibly accurate and well thought out. Very curious and again, I mean no I’ll intent. I do a very similar exchange in a group text of friends I have that don’t really know much on the war. Thank you.
re: Dryer not heating after element replacement.
Posted by USAF_Vol on 6/10/19 at 6:03 pm
As mentioned earlier. Check the thermostat. I think there are two. It’s supposed to automatically kill power to the element due to safety.
My element went out. I replaced it and it still didn’t work. Thermostat was the issue.

re: Where can I get some bamboo?

Get some Carolina sapphires. I blocked the apartments behind my house. They grow pretty fast and I think look better than the typical Cyprus privacy trees.
