RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

Nice toys!  Shame I'm looking at retirement soon- no job, no money, no understanding spouse.

When you retire you will find you don't need no job or money and life will be just fine.  Nothing can be done about the wife that is legal or inexpensive.

Man, they just added a sweeeet looking bronze 'Canon de 75mm Modele 1897' with a 12.50'' barrel. The price isn't given, and I'm not going to bother trying to find out, because knowing would only serve to further aggravate my depression. :( 

Now if cannonmn is still lookin' in every once in a while, and this catches his fancy, he had better be straight up with me. ;)
