Day 10

Used the Opinel no2 today to open the electrics
Off a garden light that didn’t work to find out what is wrong with it
And I found two wires that were not soldered on
So now I am going to solder the wires back on

Good job! :tu:

I think it is still common for guys who work outside to drink hot coffee during the day.  The theory being that a warm drink will prompt you to sweat, which cools you off.

Day 10 (I think?)



In mid-December 1944, Allied forces were surprised by a massive German offensive through the Ardennes Forrest that created a “bulge” in the Allied lines. Caught in what would become known as the “Battle of the Bulge,” the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Armed Forces was holed up in Bastogne while German armored divisions encircled the town.  Outnumbered, outgunned, and running out of food, ammunition, and medical supplies, the embattled assistant division commander, Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe, faced bleak prospects.

On December 22, the American troops were sent an ultimatum from the German forces outside of the town, demanding “the honorable surrender” of the town within two hours. General McAuliffe reply was brief and succinct:

“To the German Commander:

N U T S !

The American Commander”

Having made their position clear, the Americans dug in and waited for the attack. Contrary to German expectations, the 101st held out and reinforcements arrived in the form of the US Army’s 4th Armored Division. The Battle of the Bulge continued for several more weeks, with thousands of casualties on both sides, but by the end of January 1945, the Allies had retaken all the territory lost to the Germans and were headed toward Berlin.

I remembered reading that part of the war, while they had a great sense of humor about it, it was really gruesome.
