Besides my grandpas canteen, I also evacuated with his stamp books they used to pass the time in the VA when they came home after Japan surrendered. Almost a whole year in the hospital from being treated so badly over there while having been POW for almost the whole US involvement in the war, all the fucking shit they went through over there including being death marched. Then hospital here for such bad TB. Crazy shit!
So anyways, after then later volunteering and serving in the Korean war and many years after still serving in the military, he became a postman for many years until he retired. I only remember the retired years where he was still receiving stamps in the mail to put into the big ass collection books. 3 big ass binders! He always had promised them to me and grandma kicked them down after his death.
I’ve never had them looked at, and would of course never sale them, but would love to know the value of them. Gotta have them looked at some time by a professional.
Lemme know if you want me to share some pics of them online here

Hey dude!
I forgot to get back to you and tell you the outboard on the pontoon is good. Fired it up, and appears to run just fine.
But would you believe it took $1700 worth of new plastic to make it right again? Jesus christ!
I finally pressure washed the boat down and just like with the jet sled, i’m fucking pissed off but amazed how many more fucking burns there are from embers than I thought there was. Way more damage
Going to take out the newly named boat, FV-Survivor, previously named FV-Trollitup, out for a test drive next week on the lake here. Hoping there’s no other problems with it, and to catch some kings too

I built forms in Denver right out of high school, lasted 5 days before my back said fuck this!
Found my calling drilling and blasting underground, still back breaking, but the excitement of potential death provided the Adrenalin to block it out.
Work smart, you'll want to be able to launch that boat later in life.
And I might wanna fish!

I’ve done ALLOT of tying, but overhead. We tie allot of metal lath to our suspended ceilings. You get the scaffold height right and after your arms go through the “burning” phase, i’d usually be good to go tying overhead all day for sometimes weeks at a time.
But bending over is what hurts me with my back condition i got nowadays. It is why i’m also doing it tomorrow(saturday) because of my badass concrete buddy
Me and Rudy spent the last 2 days spreading and compacting 6 inches of 3/4- gravel base. 2000 sqft. My back is not doing so great right now.

Went and saw a magic show in Niagara Falls last night. We were a bit early so we went for a ride on the ferris wheel to kill some time. When looking down on the mini golf course below, I couldn't help but wonder if they purposely made many of the holes in the shape of a penis.
I worked in a big bank in h/s & once this dude came into the drive through, put a box into the teller's drawer - tells her "it's a bomb, fill up the drawer with cash".
She says (whilst shoving the drawer back out) "there's no room, take out the box" which he does & she and the other gal promptly drop to the floor behind the bullet proof glass & hit the alarm. The dude clipped the curb & got a flat when he attempted his get away so he ditched the car & ran off.
Problem was it's his car . . . with his license plate - he was an easy one to catch as well.
