Vintage Stuff: The old WW2 Canner was given to me by my camera/bicycle friend back in the late 70s/early 80s.
During WW2 the gov't really encouraged Americans to not only raise a garden (Victory Garden) but to can their own food and cook with pressure for optimal nutrition since food was in short supply.
This man and and his wife lived through the Depression (an era that left a mark on many of us "boomers" because our grandparents AND parents told us how life was back then.
And yes, men my dads age signed up for service not only as duty to Country but it also meant 3 squares a day in hard times.
Dave: Did you look at ebay to see what those books are going for now?
Lorell, I bought the electric rotisserie accessory for the grill and DH was like..why? you can buy a ready-made one off the supermarket chicken ferris wheel for $5
Cause I like doing my own?
Don, that is so cool about doing marine surveys on the historic navy ships.
I have been on some vintage Liberty ships (supply ships) when my dad worked as a civilian in a naval mothball fleet.
Unforgettable smell...paint, steel, oiled canvas, fuels. When I went below decks on the USS Yorktown it was a strong Deja Vu!
Hi Grant..hang tight! Winter always turns to spring!
(or what we used to call "mud season")
Rich, I'm heading to Fridays posts to see if you have more ship stuff there!
