A visit to Kenilworth Castle on the late August 2017 Bank Holiday Monday. On a very hot and sunny day in Kenilworth!
From medieval fortress to Elizabethan palace, Kenilworth Castle has been at the centre of England's affairs for much of its 900 year history. Today, you can scale the heights of the tower built to woo Queen Elizabeth I and marvel at the mighty Norman keep. Explore the exhibition in the Gatehouse, and imagine the majesty of the Great Hall playing host to medieval monarchs and early Tudor kings.
It is a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Aberlady bay. There are 2 miniature XT-class subs here, which were lashed to a concrete tank trap and used for target practice for aerial attack. They become evident at low tide.
Coldest day ever at the beach. The wind was insanely cold.
It was my birthday the other day! To celebrate, The Boy took me to a gun range.

Nice rydes spotted in the wild. WW2 M5 Stuart Light Tank spotted at a 76 gas station in West L.A./Mar Vista area.
The tank was being prepped for the new owner that was going to have it delivered to it's new home.
We seem to have developed a family Christmas tradition of target practice. Everyone gets involved. Here, my brother takes a shot at a milk jug filled with water. Take home message? Be careful where you aim!

I took my oldest child, and only daughter, to the shooting range today. She did well, and learned quickly. I think the time in our back yard, with the BB gun has really helped ease her into it. The ideas of breathing slowly, sight picture, and some of the basics of firearm safety had already been learned. So, she was ready to do well today.
Linlin fires a Ruger SR-22 at some paper at a makeshift range near Matt's cottage.
the SR-22 is semiautomatic and fires .22-cal Long Rifle rounds. Matt's has a collapsible stock, barrel shroud, flash hider, and red dot sight. it was fairly easy to learn how to use, and I was very impressed with its accuracy.
Sad way to treat this marker that was probably there when the original US 6 was built way before I-70 passed through.

WATERS NEAR GUAM (Mar. 9, 2016) - Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force ships and U.S. Naval ships steam together in formation throughout cannon firing exercises during multi sail 2016. Multi sail is a bilateral training exercise aimed at interoperability between the U.S. and Japanese forces. This exercise builds interoperability and benefits from realistic, shared training, enhancing our ability to work together to confront any contingency.

There are thousands of these concrete blocks all over the East Coast of Scotland, to deter an invasion from the sea. These traps were the anchor point for the two submarines.
