NOS data plate for the M3 Stuart light tank

We had this pretty incredible piece walk in today. The story we got was that it was rescued from the "tank plant in Detroit" before it was torn down. The vast majority of M3s were produced in Pennsylvania by ACF. GM's Clark Street Cadillac Plant (interestingly built on a former ACF property purchased by GM in 1915) also produced the M3. The plant was demolished in the mid 1990s so there's a definite chance this is where it was. There's cut marks on the back side and we were told it was mounted to a workbench. Not sure how many of these survived unused. Pretty excited to incorporate it into our museum.

Load order check

27ish hours in. Pretty stable with rare CTD. I added SS2 Apocalyptic Additions and Junk Town 2. Loaded fine. Set a few plots to the new plans. Now regular CTD when near large NPC spawn areas.

I've done a little research and see that this isn't an uncommon issue with a range of mods. Before I try anything though I thought I'd post here as I'm pretty sure this LO could be better. I'd appreciate any suggestions for changes, deletions, or additions. Thanks!!!

Spent some time in my OG Grandpa's Garage on its 90th anniversary.

On July 6th,1936 my Grandfather and a few others drove for hours to his brother in law's new wooded property on a lake. They had disassembled a garage and hauled up the pieces to rebuild on the land and it ended up being the first structure built on the lake. They lived out of this garage as they felled trees and built a large log cabin. Our family still vacations there every year and I do my best to keep the garage looking good. Some of you might recognize this garage as the header images for this sub. Here's a few of the treasures we found this trip.

No matter how dusty, dirty, or sweaty I get working in my pole barn, I always have Gil Hill to make me smile. Hope he makes you smile today too!

Interesting bit about the beginning of Civil Defense during the Cold War.

From Time magazine 7/10/1950. I've been reading the issues of Time as the Korean War was beginning. Several mentions of the uncertainty if this was the first conflict of WWIII or if atomic weapons would be used. A piece regarding the stand by War Powers Act had this to say about the burgeoning modern era of Civil Defense.

The perfect example, rough in just the right spots, minty in just the right spots.

It's almost like it was made this way.

Unusual? Reversible 3 color and ERDL ACH cover

First time I've seen one like this I believe. It seems odd this would be with 3 color and not chocolate chip. Marines maybe? Or was ERDL held over for some units?
