I have about eight little 'tools' I carry on a airplane mechanics cable on my carabiner. It's funny how useful those little tools have been for me over the years. This is the website, pretty good company, cheap prices, you never know when you'll need something like what they carry. http://countycomm.com/index1.htm Check them out, you'll enjoy the videos.:-) |

I Earned my P-38, it was given to me in boot camp at Fort Gordon,Georgia
in 1962.The reason it is called P-38 is because it takes 38 clicks to open the average size C-Rations can. (C-Rats) Of course, those P-38 Aircraft were Great too. www.devilfinder.com History of the P-38 Can Openers cuhulin |

Speaking of Dog Tags,,, www.vietnamdogtags.com
The notch on some Dog Tags was for indexing them properly on the machines which were used for stamping the letters and numbers on the tags. Doggy wears a little brass heart shaped Dog Tag on her collar.It says,,, 20 03 RABIES VACC. ANIMAL MEDICAL CENTER 995 SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD JACKSON,MS 39204 601 - 354 - 3622 019500 Doggy Earned her Dog Tag because I made sure she got all of the required vaccinations. cuhulin |

What did U.S.Troops use to open cans in World War One, and other Wars
before that? Do you remember some food cans had a little winding key/can opener on top of the can and you used that to unwind a little strip of narrow metal near the top of the can to get it open? www.qmfound.com/army_subsistence_history.htm Our Troops Deserve the Best. cuhulin |

I keeps an old pocket knife in that plastic five gallon bucket that I
have some of my old tools in when I am workin on my old trailer.When my pencil gets too dull or the lead breaks from marking lines on the wood where I need to cut the wood, I use that knife to sharpen my pencil.When I was a kid in school, sometimes I would tote a pocket knife to sharpen my pencil if I didn't feel like gittin up and goin to the pencil sharpener.I used to tote a cigarette lighter too, to school.I used to click it on while it was in my pocket.It's a wonder I didn't set my pants on fire.I used to tote pocket change and jingle it in my pocket.When I go to the stores, if I have any pocket change when I gits back home, I puts that pocket change in a canvas bag hangin on one of the drawer knobs in my kitchen.There is probally eighty dollars or more, at least in that canvas bag right now.I don'ts even wear a wris****ch any more.Toteing is for the Birds! I just don't likes to tote anything anymore. I am sleepy, goin to bed.Move over doggy.You wants a cookie? WOO WOO WOOF! cuhulin |
