Reporting in Caption. All quite a 3:08 pm CDT. Although the Crows nest is reporting a ship NNE at 20 knots and approaching at an alarming speed. No harm. It's just the Rhum replenishment ship. Just in time. Reports of mates buzzes being depleted.

You know, scallywags. Carpetbaggers. Peace Democrats of the 1860s.

All clear Caption except for one casualty as we unloaded the cargo and rhum. Tom tried to kill a barrel of rum as always we gave him a hand.

How many blue insulators would you buy RR? I've got 10 or more.

I never buy them, as it's not cost effective. Hemingray 42's are super common, as are #9's. I have ones that my dad, uncle and grandfather found. All the ones I find are broken.

Let's see what you have anyway, some of the ones like Beehives, CD-50's and others are worth buying. I like the beehives.

This is a beehive insulator.

RR
PUrdy common here.

Rusty,

Might be worth checking out some of the abandoned railroads in your general area. Never know there might be some valuable ones lying around. This link was generously provided by the capt'n.

Welcome! - Abandoned Rails

Hail to the chief!.....

I've probably shot plenty with a 22 walkin and talkin up and down the Mississipian RR.

The beehives are common in your area?

I know my dad was a crack shot with those insulators. I walked the train tracks in PA and there were exploded insulators everywhere. Hmm...

Two things about glass that nobody seems to make anymore- Cobalt blue and auric red. If you find any, treasure it.

Oh really
I’ve never been stung really bad except at Camp Shelby on training exercises one
night before we went outside the premises on a training exercise.A super natural
Son of a gun honed in on me. We had m60’s going but That son of a gun had me in his sights.
DAmn it hurt. If my tent Mate had not had a pint of Jim Bean on him all hell would broke loose.

A tune for you all.
