    I used to have a couple of booths for selling antique furniture that I have refinished and brought back to life. I work on mostly furniture and steamer trunks from early 1800's to early 1900's. I made my military shadow box from an 1800's steamer trunk I refinished. I still do work from time to time.

    YAY! KB wasn't there yet but I served on a can at Mayport '76-'77.
    I've been aboard a few old and new subs though not those and none underway. :(
    My son was an MM-ELT (nuclear plant operator) on the subs USS Kamehameha and USS Florida. He's with the TVA now as their nuclear scientist in the Chattanooga area.

    And another weird coinkydinky for me this morning,
    Not 15 minutes ago they were talking on the radio about the windiest cities in the US. Chicago is but they didn't at all refer to Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) bestowing that title for the wind spewing from its politicians.
