On the 17th of September 1944 Operation Market Garden started. In the air, squadrons of Dakota C-47s flew towards their drop zones, carrying their human cargo of British and American paratroopers. On the way in, and again during the return trip they had to face an unexpectedly aggressive Luftwaffe, a myriad of German Flak guns, and even small arms fire.
One of the hundreds of C-47s hit by German defensive fire was 42-108874 (7H-U) of the 306th Squadron, 442nd Troop Carrier Group (TCG) from Chilbolton, UK. It was on route back from having dropped paratroopers of the 3rd Btn., 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR), 101st Airborne Division over Son, near Eindhoven, in the Netherlands. One of the LZ's as part of operation Market Garden. It was hit by German FlaK and it crashed on an open field (fortunately already in friendly territory) North-East of Geel, near Larum in Belgium.
Only two crew members – Flight Officer John K. Barber (co-pilot) and S/Sergeant Jessie H. Beal (crew chief) – bailed out before it was too low for a safe jump. The others – 1st Lieutenants Thomas H. Mills (pilot) and Olin H. Jennings (navigator), and S/Sergeant Rollin R. Bailey (radio op) survived the actual crash.
With a last stroke of bad luck, the aircraft managed to hit the only obstacle in the otherwise clear field: a 45 ton Jagdpanther which had belonged to 1. Kompanie of the schwere Panzer-Jäger Abteilung 559 and was disabled sometime between September 10th - 12th, 1944, during the fighting in and around Geel.
John D’Arcy-Dawson, a war correspondent for ‘The Sunday Times’, saw the plane come down. He later reported: ‘(…) only two of his crew were injured, and when I talked to him (the pilot) he was as perky and cheerful as though he had landed safely at his base. “I was hit when we were in a tight formation just before we dropped our load”, he told me. “It was a bit difficult to keep her level with one engine and flying at 350ft, but I managed it.”‘(Source - IWM - AFPU Photographer Captain Malindine)

Health of the 12v battery in my Chevy VOLT is critical to a problem free operation so I decided to periodically load test it.
This is the Suner Power digital load tester I bought on Amazon. I wanted my own measurement capability so I can test from time to time.
Reducing the load that Soldiers carry is a high priority for the Army S&T community. This includes continued exploration of ways to advance expeditionary power to reduce the weight for Soldiers. Here, a Soldier participates in small arms training from Forward Operating Base Sharana, Paktika province, Afghanistan, Aug. 15 for Coalition and Afghan forces.

The night before the 1st day of school
Mom put my hair up in brush rollers.
and I got to sleep in them. Ouch! But
that was something really special. I
was a big girl now. Got up and got
ready to go. Had my new hair-do so
Mom took my picture and because we
only lived a couple of blocks from the
school we walked there. I can still
remember how proud I was because
my mom was the most beatiful Mom
in the world. She talked to the
teacher for a minute. Then she was gone.
I started crying and ran outside to
find her. It never entered my mind
that she would leave me there.
Luckily I had a nice teacher who
calmed me and told me snacks would be
served later. That made me feel better

The inaccuracy and unrelaibility of muzzle-loading rifles is vastly overstated. This was at fifty yards by two inexperienced shooters. The ball is .50cal. It's hardly a sharpshooting rifle by today's standards, but was certainly good enough for hunting and marksmanship.
Practice with a replica 19th-century flintlock rifle.

Day Nine
Incorporating journaling...hmm. I tend to have a lot of extra pictures of us from all the crazy adventures we go on and I thought this would be a fun one to work with.
I'm not crazy that nearly all my layouts this load are looking similar in layout, but what can I expect using mostly 2" x 3" pictures and a format that's only 6.5" x 11"?
The title says [vertically] "starring j & k in:" and [horizontally] "SELFIES"
Journaling reads:
"Everywhere we go, we take a "selfie." They don't always turn out well, but we always laugh & smile. My favorite & me. 10-11."

This photo is a close-up, taken from the back of one of the S-2T tankers. The red cap you can see is where the hose is inserted to refuel the plane with fire retardant. I came across a Cal Fire web page that featured the following interesting factoids about the Sonoma Air Attack Base and its fire retardant consumption - "On average, the base pumps about 300,000 gallons of retardant a year."

Day 5
Inspiration : And then there were none
[The background story]
Instead of focusing on 'and then there were none', I kinda went with the opposite...there's always something. In terms of projects around my house, they are never ending...but I love it.
