Depends on what you launch them from, doesn't it? I'm reasonably certain the Germans would eventually have gotten around to SLCMs.

Is that like blue loctite? Never heard of it, obv.
Never heard of the acetone or mineral spirits treatment either. What’s that about?
I’ve got a pile of rims here, that need hubs and spokes. Perhaps I can move into the new age in that department too. I’m loving my 1 x 10 drive train.

That is what the place was guarding against. The Delaware Bay provides access to the river of the same name and thus access to major ports like Philadelphia. Philly had a huge Navy yard at the time. A U-Boat surrendered near the fort once it learned of Germany's surrender.

House showing #5 at 4 PM today. I got up and cut the grass early to put the cherry on top. Luckily my battery powered mower is somewhat quiet. Then we've been on the lam most of the day. Now a short break until we leave again. Rosco got e has told me he's about to put his foot down. 1 showing that we know about for tomorrow.
Roscoe was a champ today and very well behaved. He took a lot of walks which his favorite activity.
In between one of the showings I pulled some weeds on the hill and the house is looking great. I'm beat.

Unless they figured out how to launch anything other than a torpedo from the U-boat, which I'm not aware they did, they didn't have a platform from which to strike the East Coast.

There’s obviously a hotly contested monthly post count race going on. 151 - 147 last time I checked. 
You guys plan to keep this up until July, because it’s getting quite annoying. You should negotiate an alternating month schedule that will please all, especially the rest of us.

WWII Ended almost 80 years ago. The vets are almost gone.

My friends said this was my birthday ride but we didn't make 70 miles. They did buy me an ice tea and a scone at a snack stop. And they let me pick the return route when it got pretty windy. I picked the route with the lesser amount of climbing which cut off a few miles but by that time it was so windy I didn't want to climb into the headwind.
I had my camera but it's hard to get pics when with others. Got a few, though. From here we are going around the base of the hill on the left.
I had a tough time getting with it. Legs felt bad for the first 20+ miles of rollers and mild wind. A random pic from where they stopped to wait.
The 6 of us stopped for a snack at a country market. After that we got on the featured climb and I finally started feeling better.

A little further up. We were spread out by this time.
The two of us in the back caught one guy who went too hard and blew up. He said he couldn't go on and was turning back. We tried to convince him but he was done. I stopped after a bit ad looked back to see if he was rolling but he was not. You can barely see him on the left.
Back to it. After this point I didn't get any more pics on the climb. Once climbing it's hard to stop and get going again. Should have got some of the scenery. It was really a beautiful day and most of the roads were very quiet.
Me at the top of the pass @5400 feet. I swear my teeth don't look that jacked in person.
Back at the bottom I took a pic of the place on the hill. While descending it looked amazing but hard to tell from here.
