What was the last TV show you watched?
As long as this thread is, I;m not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but I'll throw it out there anyway. I just wandered across a TV show called "Copper" that shows on BBC America. It's a pretty interesting show that is based on the New York gangs as represented in the movie "Gangs of New York"...- WarHorse

Downton Abbey - I'm hooked
Rather late on joining this thread....just about as late as I was to finding this series. I'd heard about it when and all the hoopla it generated while deployed to Afghanistan, but of course couldn't get it there. After coming back home I never thought to look it up or find a schedule.

How to "age" bright yellow cavalry hat cords?
This brought back a funny memory. Before being posted to Ft Hood I had never seen anyone other than another cavlaryman wear a Stetson ( a bit of a misnomer since not all of them are made by Stetson), thus only yellow and gold cords. The first day I signed in was the change of command date... -

Military Headdresses: The Ultimate Fashion Statement
All I can think about is how uncomfortable those would be on a forced march. Even though I hated our berets, they were far better than these. Great pictures - thanks for sharing. -
Fury
As a currently serving tanker, I found the movie very well done. Believe me, I'll be the first one to get turned off by a movie that isn't technically correct to a certain level (ie uniforms, equipment, battle history, tactics, etc). A supreme example of a failure is The Hurt... -
Berets, Anyone?
I'm, unfortunately very biased. The Army went to black berets as the standard uniform headgear. I hated it for a couple reasons: 1) It does absolutely nothing to share the eyes ( I was stationed at Ft Hood, which I think is somehow much closer to the sun then the rest of the Earth) 2) A wool... -

Introduction
Another New Guy..... Been cruising the site for a few days and finally found the Intro page. I'm a big fan of hats and have several different kinds (well hundreds if baseball caps are counted). I'm in the Army so I wear one everyday as part of the uniform. (As a Cavalryman few, if any of... -
Is 40 year old box of Montecruz cigars worth anything?
What the heck, I'd give it a try but they are most likely extrememly dried out. Cigars can be rehydrated, but it's a difficult and very slow process of gently raising the humidity levels in a humidor. If the humidity is raised too quickly they can swell and will burst. Then they are absolutely...- WarHorse

A question for the cigar smokers...
I'd recommend a singler larger humidor that hs a good quality humidification system. I have several different sizes and shapes of humidors and the more systems I have the more the support requirements and maintenance it requires. There are some good sides to having mulitple humidors - you can...- WarHorse

Gentlemen's Lodges/Groups in the Golden Era?
I don't think I saw anyone mention the Loyal Order of the Moose or the Order of the Eagles. I grew up in a small town that had started as a retirement community....I can remember that all of the above mentioned fraternal organizations were present in my hometown (plenty of older fellas that came...- WarHorse

What are the Oldest Objects you Own?
This old house Hey all - new to the forum and didn't see a place to post introductions so I thought I'd jump right in with a post. The oldest thing I think I have is this house we purchased in Leavenworth, KS. It was built in 1850. I came with a framed and sealed deed (not the original one...- WarHorse
