In 2004, there was about 5 inches of snow on the ground, sounds consistent to me.Sigh…go eat a load of shrimp down at Snoopy's for me, will ya?

SeaMonkey Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 OK Lars, but Snoopy's is on The Island and down here all the shrimp boats pull up at the T-Heads on Shoreline Drive. Prices are better, shrimp are fresher and just across the causeway in Portland resides the best cook on the planet....Me! But Snoopy's is good after a nice swell at Bob Hall pier and I'll pop a couple for ya on my return trip, chasing them with some ice cold Dos Equis.

Cary Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Originally posted by Rolend: I tend to agree with Lars on this one, the russians handled the winter very well and as far as I know they are human How they did it was they understood the effects and knew how to stay warm and keep their equipment running. Take a gander at the Guderian's Blitzkrieg II rules for Aerosans, Russian vehicles that Dean Essig described as "effectively sleds with aircraft engines and propellers designed to transport supplies across the snow. They were of very limited effectiveness due to the need for specialized aircraft fuel and parts that were not readily available to the infantry they served." Even after the purges there were, evidently, some people in the Soviet military with an excess of imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hey Lars, we must have been close. Moved to 4609 Jarvis, just off Airline, 2 blocks towards the Bay from Alameda, in 1969.

Lars Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Well I'll be damned. We lived on Pennington in the same time frame. Second house from Alameda on the north side. The one with the pool. Bet we were scrapping together as kids if you went to Windsor Elementary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
