Yes Sir, I have the type M male and bought the type T quick coupler. Then went back and bought the male type T. You're never too old to learn something new.

The "L" type strike me as a good design, since they wouldn't flex so much and trash the o-rings. Looks like I have mostly "T" fittings, which leak like stupid unless they are turned just right..

I have that exact pair. Those and Double H were the only US made boots in the local farm store. They appear to be just as good as my last Red Wings, but less $$.

Nice. I fly the 30 year old Valley Forge flag that draped my grandfathers casket on certain days. The recent anniversary of D Day for example. He went ashore that day on Omaha beach.

wow, great way to honor his service - I salute him!

mine is also a holiday flag, but it was a gift from blue valley savings in oak grove when my grandpa opened an account there. not nearly as meaningful LoL

That is an wonderful heirloom, especially considering his history. A great way to honor him and those who served then and now. Having read about those beach landings, I am amazed at those who went ashore.
