Happy to hear you've come to terms.
Maybe you can catch them napping and do the laugh with the little wave. Evil incarnate.
Then again, maybe not.
I'm sure they're good kids.

The year 1906 is the reason.
Right you are. See link below:

Hey things are quiet in the Campground, Motorhome got washed today in record time, too hot so it was no muss, no fuss! Got all the tree trash off.
Finished up with an iced cold LaBatts!
I understand there has been progress on the deck, I'm not there to confirm!
Back in the day our favorite beer use to be Rolling Rock, that was when it was still made by Latobe Brewing in Latrobe PA. Never did figure out what the 33 stood for on the bottles back then,but then we really didn't care either!
Oh,,,I forgot to mention, No one to this day really knows what the 33 means!

June 20, 1945 on board the USS Yolo of the beaches of Okinawa, notes of C. Homer Bast, Commanding Officer.
June 20, 1945
The weather remained bad so no loading today. Probably the outstanding event was when command gave me permission that when “We felt conditions were right, to carry out the loading as we should”. Finally, after all these months, the decision whether to load or not was granted to us. It was a major concession; we have won one from the high command.
Routine maintenance was the order of the day. Our sister ship was so badly beaten up at Iwo she returned to Pearl for repairs. Their problem was in not taking adequate precautions for the vessels coming alongside. On Yolo we have limited vessels just to one side and even then we have used tires, fenders, camels and mattresses as cushions. We have also limited the number of ships alongside to four at a time - that is about all we can handle.
A movie was shown tonight. While not outstanding, at least it was entertaining. As soon as a new vessel arrives our signalmen ask for a movie trade - in that way we have first pick of the films that enter the area. Following the movie, bridge was the game of the evening. We learned that captured Jap documents indicate more attention will be given to suicide missions.

That is definitely a bear beer!
If, as pictured, that is a bear beer, if you were to take it out of the bag, would it then be a......wait for it......bare bear beer???

From the CENTER OF MILITARY HISTORY UNITED STATES ARMY
"Surrender and Suicide at the Water's Edge
Mass surrender of Japanese soldiers did not begin until the Tenth Army crowded them almost to the water's edge. There was a noticeable increase, however, after the intensification of the psychological warfare program. During the first seventy days of battle, prisoners captured by Tenth Army averaged less than four a day. This average increased to more than fifty a day between 12 and 18 June; and on 19 June, as the 6th Marine and 7th Infantry Divisions rolled forward near the east and west coasts, 343 enemy soldiers voluntarily surrendered. On the afternoon of 20 June the 32d Infantry seized the east end of Hill 89, a coral bulge next to the sea which housed General Ushijima's staff and headquarters. On the same day 977 prisoners were taken-an unprecedented accomplishment in the Pacific war.
Even among these destitute and disorganized soldiers, less than a third chose to surrender rather than die, although prisoners claimed that others wanted to surrender but could find no opportunity. Casualties among the Japanese averaged about a thousand a day during the first half of June, jumped to nearly 2,000 on 19 June, to 3,000 the next day, and reached more than 4,000 on 21 June. This tremendous rise in enemy deaths resulted from the sudden and complete unbalance of power between the opposing forces and from the resignation of many Japanese to death...
...Sometimes the conditions under which the Japanese met defeat were less tragic. A small landing craft idled along the southern coast one or two hundred yards from shore and, through a loudspeaker mounted on its deck, a "converted" prisoner of war shouted appeals for surrender to other Japanese soldiers who had retreated to the water's edge and now lurked among the boulders at the foot of the cliff or in caves in its face. The prisoner, a sergeant in the Japanese Army, was a persuasive speaker who was convinced of good treatment in the hands of Americans and tried to save his comrades from needless death. Sometimes he would order the soldiers to leave their hiding places, strip to their loin cloths, and follow the coast north to the American lines; as a sergeant, he was often obeyed.
Interpreters or prisoners broadcast pleas of "cease resistance" over other portable loudspeakers set up in the southern tip of the island. The Japanese surrendered by twos or threes, apprehensive and hesitant and with curious expressions of hope and fear. Many prisoners offered to return to induce their comrades to surrender. Usually they were given cigarettes to take back to the caves as proof of American promises. Two such "bait-boys," known as "Murrymoto" and "Goto," brought back several hundred prisoners and were so faithful that their captors allowed them to carry weapons and live in the company perimeter during the night. In this manner 7,401 Japanese soldiers, including more than 200 commissioned officers and 3,339 unarmed laborers, surrendered to Tenth Army troops.
Geoff, If you get the chance, go to the flight line annex hanger. The CH 21 on display was flown from Eglin AFB FL in '65 with my dad as in flight mechanic. His name is on the flight manifest. (initials HT)
It is powered by the same radial engine as a B17. It took an old school nut turner to keep it flying.

Hope everyone is doing well.
Just back from a little 3 day vacation that ended with
us taking our Grand daughter to a local water-park for
the day. (Note to self--listen to wifey when she suggests
sunscreen). Water was nice and cool and we all got Ice
Cream afterwards. Did a little fishing, (not much catching),
and grilled out every evening at the Smoky Mtns. cabin.
Life is Good.

Home and had some dinner on the longest day of the year. Had a good day right up till time to shut down and then got a three plus inch rain in less than an hour and water running through the shop about an inch or two deep. Man I am getting real tired of drying out my shop! That much water that fast is just more than the drainage can handle. It is possible to get tropical deluges here that are real frog stranglers! I am really drifting,again!
