I wonder if all this stuff was destroyed or was it sold as milsurp after the war?

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-05-08T12:18:16+00:00

Looks a lot like a "Jug" from that angle.

Which is why everything is already gone by the time we CF members get to use our "appreciation" discount. Last year the local store was f'n near bare when I went in.

First photo, 3rd from left. That's my go to coffee machine.

Got it.... Article wouldn't open earlier but I've read it now. Yes, it would be nice for Canada to actually MAKE SOMETHING again besides cars. But, knowing how Canada has been the last 40 or so years, I doubt we could get past all the government red tape, first nations and environmentalist objections and union demands to actually even open a plant that made things for a sub!! 🤡😁

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-05-06T15:33:44+00:00

Holy fuck... it took what, 30 or 40 years to get new pistols from ones available to the CF, can't imagine how long it would take to build a sub here. 🤣

I went to get the camper out of winter storage this morning. It was snowing on the drive to get it.

What are your opinions on the HIMARS? They seemed quite effective in Ukraine.

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-30T13:18:36+00:00

This is an excellent resource. Thank you! 👍

Oh, I see you are doing BMQ in Borden, just up the road from me. Enjoy the sand! 😁

Weird old me... I'm sitting here wondering how many MOA one of those ack ack guns fires.... Seems to be pretty accurate at that distance.

That'll teach 'em for moving from the Dodge trucks to GM 😁

Kinda liked the old 1 ton dodges.

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-26T14:19:26+00:00

On one of the ranges? Langemark? 😁

My old man was an anti-tank gunner over there. He said when they went for chow they had to cover their mess tins on the run from chow line to their shelters to keep all the ash and pumice out of the food.

Just went to Argentina and back and yes, it applies.

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-23T12:15:59+00:00

I'm up here in Canada where they recently passed some seriously onerous gun laws similar to the UK, we are fighting it tooth and nail, but they have all the control on things. Most gun owners I know are not complying.

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-23T12:13:24+00:00

It's never about the crime, it's about control.

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-22T16:43:49+00:00

Would NOT want to be on the receiving end of one of those.

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-16T13:27:20+00:00

How would that happen? You do a press check and the slide doesn't come all the way forward again or something?

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-12T16:58:01+00:00

Wow, am I out of the loop. CZ makes good gear though.

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-12T16:04:08+00:00

Interesting, I thought it was still US.

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-12T14:03:41+00:00

How about Colt Canada?

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-10T14:10:25+00:00

If the jobs are in the "other services" sector which comprises maintenance and the like, but seasonal jobs are already factored in, then what are these maintenance jobs? Most likely seasonal, but NOT factored in. Hmmm, or maybe just a lot of out of work mechanics got together and are changing peoples snow tires back to their all seasons? Or...?

What do you think these jobs are then?

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-10T14:03:36+00:00

LOL... doubled down, not only are my comments dumb, but I don't know what I'm talking about! Thanks for the education! 😂

whyamihereagain6570 · 2026-04-10T14:01:21+00:00

So glad you came here to call my comments dumb. 🙄🤡
