Meant to post this a week or so ago :)


Eric, in recognition of your contributions to the Luger Forum, I am pleased to present you with this certificate.



Congratulations!

4th of July in Boston by Drone!!!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9KZ3jgbbmI

Whoever did this risked a minimum of $2k--that's what one of the quad units equipped with a camera costs-- investment being effectively shot down by shrapnel, even if the shrapnel is only cardboard or plastic! You sure wouldn't want to be anywhere near one of the 12" 'shells" when it goes off! If you escape the direct effects of the blast, the concussion, alone, will wreck your hearing seriously and permanently. Sending a machine is the way to go, to achieve such a vantage point.

Dave you are right! Even flying your drone in the vicinity is a death wish! It seems they are are everywhere! Big Brother~

Eric

I've just arrived back home from a two weeks period of holiday, I see you've achieved your (probably unexpected) "Certificate" congratulations indeed as I'm sure that made you really proud and happy!

All the best


Sergio

It is so good to here from you. I was going to send out Luckys" boys to look for you. You are a major reason we broke our luger cherry!! Luger history changes daily as new luger addicts weigh in! The certificate will make stride higher as history is a evolving art form changes daily with a couple thousand so-called experts. I'm happy for you both and maybe a vacation picture to make me smile flat Florida to make us jellious, Mia Amiga!

Popeye here is called "Bracciodiferro", a made up word meaning "iron arm", this reminds me of my "early" childhood when cartoons used to be really nice and somehow instructive for the kids, did you remember Huckleberry Hound (here was called Bracco Baldo) Yogi bear and his little friend Bubu bear?
Lovely years, sorry this hasn't got much to do with Luger guns though.

Regards

Sergio

Sergio it has to do about our past so it is relevent today. Ie Flipper, Gentle Ben. Skippy the bush Kangeroo etc~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_agtNKbgSfI
