Posted by gun guru on July 09, 2009 at 15:49:48 from (71.10.39.206):

As I mentioned last week my grandfather (88 years old) Died 7-3-2009. Born Dec6th, 1920.

He was in the US Navy in 1944,1945. He never saw action as he was waiting to invade Japan. Then sent home in 1945.

There was a 21 gun salute at the cemetery, 7 old timers firing 3 rounds each...All from the VFW.

The minister that read the sermons, prayers and comments knew my grandfather for over 50 years cause he worked for my granddad at a gas station that he owned. This minister says he remembers that the gas station was full service (remember that) check tires, check oil, clean windshields and fill up the tank. (there are no full service stations anymore that I know of)
My grandfather was run out of business in the 1960's when the oil companies ran the little guys out. My grandfather would pick up gasoline in Toledo Ohio and then bring it up to his station just north of Detroit. In the Early 70's my granddad started a waste oil business and then he retired in the early 80s.

The best thing I can say about my granddad is how God describes Job in the old testament:----
The very last verse of the book of Job says that Job was blessed with children and grandchildren to the 4th generation and Job died at the age of 140 and he died old and full of years.

My grandfather got to see all his grandchildren grow up--14 grandkids and the youngest grandchild is 31, and he and my grandmother have 23 great grandchildren. My grandmother is still alive and is also 88. (if my grandmother lives another few years she will see Great Great grandchildren)

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
