    MEN'S PAJAMAS and DRESSING GOWNS

    Pajamas are just pajamas without any fashion statement. They are utilitarian and functional. You can pick all sorts of gauges of thickness and quality of material for comfort and/or remove the top if desired. If ya wanna be real era get a night shirt and night cap:)

    Yamato

    Yeah the boat went out with only enough fuel in her bunkers for a one way trip= a kamikaze mission. It's one thing to launch 2000 kamikaze aircraft and have a good chance of creating substantial damage but sending one ship with 2000 men was just dumb even by Japanese standards of kamikaze...

    Japanese submarines

    "I-Boat Captain" is a very pertinant book on the subject. As he mentions in that book there were some innovative ways invented to quickly and easily get cargos ashore from the subs. The seaplane carrying subs were massive. Nothing was bigger at, 400 feet, until nuke boats of later times...

    What are your sartorial guilty pleasures?

    I wear a lot of sweats. Often it is because of comfort required due to my damned ongoing medical problems these days but around the house there is nothing better for anything you're going to do there.[huh]

    This might sound strange....

    It's good to take the time to mark the important days of our heros so they can continue to live in our memories.:)

    Fast Cooking

    Only recipe I have is stew meat, carrots, potatoes and a few green onions. I usually have enough material to fill the pot pretty close to the top then cook. Simple yet good.:)

    Pocketwatches

    What you mentioned about the watch quitting running and refusing to wind is interesting. No doubt a little "thingy" broke or got out of sync. No doubt a watch guy could fix that in minutes without complete disassembly and cleaning. Back in the windable watch era I compared the "cleaning" to...

    Vintage Cars

    Kilroy I love 40 Ford coupes and sedans but they and the trucks are in the stratosphere value-wise. They got real popular long ago and to find one in not too bad of condition at 20 grand is tough. Sedan deliverys are rarer hence high value, at least in California, so expect to pay top dollar...

    Japanese submarines

    As I look at different material about the war I had thought that the innovation of submarines built specifically for transportation was quite interesting. The Imperial Navy was able to supply quite a lot of the many isolated garrisons dug into tiny islands in the Pacific. There were only 13...

    How do I shine the chrome on a 1959 Kirby?

    Hope the chrome is NOT pitted as most light, repeated polishing mentioned here will work. But like vintage auto chrome only professionals can get the pits off and then rechrome....quite more costly.:(

    Mysteries of Lake Tahoe

    The 1st white travelers that got to Tahoe found the whiskey had proceeded them. Anyhow they asked the Indians the name of the lake and one guy kept saying, "Tahoe, tahoe.".....the tribes' word for whiskey.:)

    Mysteries of Lake Tahoe

    A well written, entertaining article. I realize much of the submarine business is tongue-in-cheek but any serious exploration would be started with remote-controlled submersibles at a fraction of the cost.

    Since the Red Cross is a humanitatian outfit I have wondered why they have not made the information available before now, when most of the people involved have already died. Too little too late.:(
