About a year ago on December 7th, I happened to mention to a 20 something hottie cashier at the local Albertson's that it was Pearl Harbor Day. She asked --- what is that? If we asked that same age group what is the 4th of July, you might get an answer: "The day Tik Tok went live".
To put you in a festive mood and test your Americanithcity (ethnic American) here are a few sample questions from the US Citizenship test.
1. Ben Franklin had a day job and the 1st to hold this position and what was it? [No don't ask who was Ben Franklin? He was quite the ladies' man and was known to romance older women and his reasoning was: They don't swell, they don't yell, they don't tell and best of all they are as grateful as Hell!]

3. The 1st 1o Amendments to the US Constitution are known as ...

Our photo today of Project X is my unit with the cover off. The photo in the prior posting was of a National NCX-1000 and meets some of the criteria: Dirty, Off Brand and not many produced. My prior National rigs SW-54, NCX-3 were not very good! The NCX-200 and NCX-5 were better.
Them that know can make thigs go.
