While we’re on the pre-ban subject….started this AR build this week. Unfortunately, Massachusetts gun laws limit some of the furniture I can add to this baby. The blacked out spot is just on the picture editor. Didn’t want the serial # showing.

Yeah the prices are out there now.
Just sold an all original Maadi AK I bought back twenty years ago for less than $500 for 4k.
The shows here have very little 'original' material to offer anymore.
In 2014, she became the first female pilot in Blue Angels team which is one of the most famous Navy Squadron for Flight. Katie Higgins is highly qualified as she is bachelor of Political Science and Masters in International Security. After joining the Force she got training from the Naval Air Station Pensacola
As I post these photos of a somewhat historic record, I am on board the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship as it prepares to pull into the same Yokohama Japan port after its first completed open to the public Japanese cruise since the last such cruise caught the world's attention. Then in February of 2020 its passengers remained quarantined aboard the Diamond Princess marking the beginning of COVID (or "Corona" as the Japanese call it).
These images were captured over the past nine days with my Nikon D90 camera equipped with an AF-S Nikkor 28-300 mm lens.
Pictured first is Mount Fuji as it was viewed from the Shinkansen bullet train as it took us to Yokohama for boarding the Diamond Princess which had just arrived in Japan from its transitioning cruise that had originated in San Diego, its temporary home port where it had plied the waters of the West Coast and Mexico at the end of 2022.
While Yokohama is now once again the Diamond Princess's home port, it is of note that the Japanese government for the present is only allowing it to operate in Japan with a maximum 60% passenger capacity.
Here are my photos recording this past week's "historic" departure from Yokohama.
Captured below are selected images from various of the ports of call included in the nine day Japan cruise which also included the first return to Korea as a port by the Diamond Princess since three years ago. The included Korean port was on the island of Jeju. The theme of this inaugural Japan cruise was "Spring Flowers Tour" and accordingly the selected photos include such flowers, and in particular Sakura (Cherry Blossom trees in bloom) in both Korea and Japan.
Notably the cruise ship made news and was welcomed at the Japan ports of call which had not seen a cruise ship for some three years. For example a local TV station's camera crew in Miyazaki captured us waving as we boarded the first tour bus to exit from the Diamond Princess. Pictured below is the send off from Nagasaki as viewed from our balcony:
Concluding - Sakura as seen at our last port of call in Wakayama:

The female tiger lost her cubs and was depressed, so the zoo dressed Piglets in cloth looking like tiger skin.

After all of his effort I let him eat for awhile before I let the dog out -
Blurry pic as the feeder was still swinging when he jumped on it.
