    What should I do with this?

    Umm.. Hi!
    I won this in an auction today.
    What is it worth?
    My wife isn't too happy with it in the driveway.

    USS NEW JERSEY, after all the work I did on that boat to help get it ready for the public and they scrapped it, now im pissed. LOL
    But I did help clean it up for them to be able to open it up to the public.

    Put it in the back yard. Kids would probably enjoy that more than a tree house.

    The problem is they put the darn thing in Camden. They are lucky it hasn't been stolen yet. I still have to get down there with my kid as I have many fond memories of trips to the USS North Carolina when I was growing up.

    Our old battle wagon got scrapped in the early 1960s. Being in the middle of the continent there was no way to bring the whole ship up here but they did manage to save a number of pieces of it. I have always enjoyed going to the memorial. When there were still a good number of vets, they used to have bi-annual reunions, usually at the memorial. Meet a number of them. Tough hombres who were mostly kids when they were on board and in action...

    i think it would be a very good theft deterrent.
    imagine firing one of those guns at anyone who come to steal-even if they come in a bus, its toast.
