Now, we have Castle Animal Farm... where some Armorers are more equal than others. Or something like that.
But, oddly enough, all are subject to Farmer She Who Will Be Obeyed.
In yesterday's "Stand, and Deliver!" post, there was whinage from theankle-biting garden pests readers, well, the apparently hirsute (according to Saker, anyway) Dark Lord Sly:
another ankle-biter Saker chimed up in support (while bashing the Dark Lord's femininity...):
Anyway, in that post I recounted this conversation:
And that is, in a sense, a classic Castle Armory Accessory, whereby we hold and preserve artifacts until the fancy-pantsed degreed museum curator-types recognize they need one of those to complete their collection...
I'm holding on to this piece of history, with that "Aces 6" painted on it. Not just because it has taps and holds two kegs of beer and the CO2 tank, which it does, but because I want to preserve it for when the Patton Museum calls for it - after General Ziegenfuss takes the 1st Armored Division to Moscow. Or Duluth. Whichever. Then, having then-Captain Ziegenfuss' Command Keggerator will be viewed as a great public service by the curator of the Armor Museum. And I'll make him pay. I'll probably trade him for either a running Stuart or that T-28.
And I was serious about that flamethrower part, too. Right there, upper right corner of this pic of the Brew-Kit of Aces6/Argghhh!
Be safe this weekend folks. Don't make next Memorial Day... yours.

ThenWhere is the keggerator??? Geez, after going on about the darn thing, (in fine bardsmanlike fashion, mind you) and not a single pic of the keggerator!??
Harrummpfff!
Now, DL Sly *is* a Marine wife, but that's harsh...I agree with DL Sly, and unlike him, I can flounce if the occasion calls for it. Where is the keggorator??
Anyway, in that post I recounted this conversation:
And it does, doesn't it?Then occurs a conversation you're really only going to have at Castle Argghhh!.
"Okay, where do you want to put the keggerator?"
"I was thinking over there, just beyond where the flamethrower is."
"Okay - wait, where's the power outlet?
"Um, right there - behind the bomb."
"Hey! The 'fridge will fit right in that space - but you'll have to move the bomb."
[sound of Bomb, Practice, 250lb size, Mk86 Mod 1 being moved]
"Sweet! That fits perfectly!"

*sigh*
As it is now, being active duty and still subject to the *locational whims* of the Overlords, this is all we can realistically tote around right now. But it'll do....for now.

Of course, it just makes me want to add the Castle to my list of pilgrimage sites...

In cleaning out my excess books this week in preparation for a team move (from one building to the one across the courtyard), I finally divested myself of my Windows 2000 training books. I'm a pack-rat, only moving causes me to throw things out ;-)
Pity I can't ask her now. It's been about 10 years now, RIP.
Still, a very cool gizmo.
