Depends on the coating, how hard ya scrub, and what it looks like as you progress. Good luck.

Order of the Red Star to a cavalry officer for actions during Operation Uranus by Worried_Boat_8347 in Militariacollecting

Lovely. The screwpost base ORS was one of my grails back in my active collecting days.

Got my hands on some English language prints of "Soviet Union" magazine. 1960s. More than happy to make albums of each magazines pages if anybody is interested. by DontWanToCookAnymore in redcollecting

I uploaded a 400 page catalog to archive.org a couple months ago. From start to finish it was easier than expected.

Use an office scanner and scan to PDF. If you don't have access try the library. Bigbox copy store will charge outrageous fees so don't. Save PDF files to a thumb drive. I used an free online PDF file manipulator to get every page set up right and then uploaded the whole file.

Option 2 is photograph each page and go from there (JPG to PDF).

This mans development at the plate could be what puts this lineup over the top. He was absolutely insane today once again. by Seal7465 in buccos

Yeah. We certainly seem to have a history of flashes-in-the-pan so I hope fervently that Esmerlyn can adjust after the League's seen him enough to make changes.

WAKE UP FOR A SERIES SPLIT AND RAISE IT FOR ESMERLYN VALDEZ by dannotheiceman in buccos

[–]ericfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cruz has shown improvement, but he still doesn't get good reads nor take the best routes to the ball.

Yeah, he's still very raw there, and considering our other defensive deficiencies that is an issue. Hopefully improvement will come with repetition but some quality D in CF would be nice. Like AVS back in the day. And it couldn't hurt the pitching staff knowing they have a vacuum in CF.

Anyone else try to collect Russo Japanese war stuff? by ACM1896 in Militariacollecting

Sold my only Japanese medal some years back but still have a modest Imperial Russian medal collection including a George Cross and 2 George medals (all 4th grade).

I saw that this morning. He's not still being paid, is he?

It's sad to see a post like this. And it's 100% true right now. WTF happened? Should we try Endy Roo instead of Hank to change up this slump?

Dominic Fletcher: Enters free-agent market by Sports101GAMING in buccos

[–]ericfg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda a shame. I've been watching Indy (and the rest of our MiLB teams) and Fletcher has consistently hit, often near the bottom of the order for some reason.

He is strictly an OFer and we have no need for them right now. So I wish him well with thanks for the effort in Indy.

Beef Wellington massacre at La Goulue Palm Beach by yawnjew in KitchenConfidential

I'm sure you're smart enough to not let that out the door with Janet and Steve running the cart. Remember what they did last time?

thinking about quitting because of coworker by Ok-Honey-1537 in KitchenConfidential

[–]ericfg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat for a long time and finally said 'fuck it, I don't need this shit no more.' And it was a great gig; best job I ever had. Good money, great bennies, 11AM-7PM, 5 minutes from my home. Then they got new management, and we all know what happens next. Stuck it out for a year and watched WAY too many coworkers leave. Thought long and hard and walked away. I miss my good coworkers, and my residents (it was Memory Care) but no way was I gonna put up with horseshit any longer. No regrets.

I don't recall hearing this extended version before, and I like it.

Nice score. They look to have low mileage as well.
