No wonder the Ganja is so appealing down there....

I sold a bunch oh these.
Never came in late.
No bar tab.
Never needed a ride.
Didn't disappear at load out.
Sadly, it never had any brisket.

I imagine if you got hold of some bad ganja, you might see those spiders anyway. Imaginary or not, I would want my trusty flame thrower...
There is no bad Ganja.
Now, monkey paw on the other hand...

The DVD is not quite on par with today's HD expectations, but it gets the point across with a couple of viewings. Highly recommended.
I e-mailed Steve with a question and he asked me to call him once I had the 92 disassembled and setup to start modifications. On the phone, he patiently talked me through fixing a feed gate issue. That man is a gem.
The Pope flies into New York, & is met at the airport by a limo. Before they head into the city, the Pope says to the driver:
"My son, may I ask a favor of you?"
The driver replies:
"Of course, your holiness!"
The Pope says "As you may imagine, I don't get too many opportunities to drive, so I would appreciate it greatly if you would permit me to drive now."
The driver is scared, thinking what if the Pope gets into an accident, but he can't think of a good way to say no, because after all, he is the Pope, so he says:
"of course, your holiness, you may drive."
They trade places & to the driver's dismay, the Pope drops it into gear & smokes the tires taking off. He's doing 100MPH in a 45MPH zone when a traffic cop pulls in behind them & lights them up. The Pope slams on the brakes & pulls over.
The cop walks past & briefly looks in the passenger area on his way to the front to talk to the driver. He takes one look at the Pope sitting behind the wheel, spins around & heads back to his car, where he radios his sergeant.
"Sarge, I got a real problem here!'
"Whats going on?" The sarge asks.
"I pulled over this limo for speeding, but it's someone real important!"
The sarge says "Important like the Mayor?"
The cop replies "No, much more important than that."
The sarge says "Important like the governor?"
The cop says " No, way more important than that."
The sarge says "As important as the president?"
The cop says "Oh yeah, way more important than that!"
The sarge replies "Who's more important than the president?
The cop says "I don't know, sarge, but he's got the Pope driving for him!

BCC,
I cannot help but think that we have not seen any Irish donuts or other forms or sweetened fried dough. There's bound to be an Irish version. Fine Irish coffee without fine Irish fried dough? Impossible!
Minimal drifting for the next 16 days....you guys keep the drift rolling and I'll try to send pictures that meet BCC'S standards.

I remember reading what band that was, but I don't recall it.
Who was it? Or is senility setting in here?
Van Halen, of course...

This evening I'm tired and will forgo attempts at humor. I'm going to try to attach a few things and explain.
Homer Bast the Commanding Officer of the LST(m) 677 USS Yolo and author of the diary I've been posting, is seated at the head of the table to the right in the first photo.
My Dad was an Ensign and is seated at the far right in the back by the map in the second photo.
The Yolo motored into Okinawa on 4/1/45 with an invasion force that would not be stopped. They were primarily stationed offshore of the invasion beaches opposite Yontan Airfield.
The ship was a modified Land Ship Tank with extra freezer, refrigeration, fresh water production, baking, and cooking capacity. A pair of Quonset Huts were fitted on the deck for barracks. Their big guns were 40 mm and 20 mm AA, but they were well equipped with smaller arms for suicide swimmers and such. Hopefully, I explained that without messing up.
Now, back to the diary:
April 28, 1945
The crew secured from GQ shortly after 0400, the third GQ in 10 hours. The whole totaled eight hours at battle stations. Under such conditions half the crew on watch sleep at their guns. At 0308, as the smoke lifted, Yolo's gunners fired at two aircraft, a Sally at 3000 yards and a Zeke at 2500 yards. Tonight was so windy the smoke offered little protection. It was a great relief when the word to secure came.
Orders came relieving Yolo of the responsibility for providing quarters for transient officers. Doubtless the move was the result of the commanders' complaints. The flag realized the situation and gave us a "well done" on the job we had done in that area. A former luxury liner anchored nearby was designated to handle the brass.
The crew is exhausted and this afternoon we gave them holiday routine. They tumbled into their bunks. After dinner Bing Crosby in "The Birth of the Blues" was the feature movie. All hands enjoyed it so, but 10 minutes before the end GQ sounded. It was an all night session under the cover of an excellent smoke screen. At Hagushi 27 enemy attacked the beaches and 25 were downed. Fighters from TF 58 downed an additional 32 enemy. Again the Japanese went after the pickets. From the statistics Yolo gathered it appears as if 115 kamikazes were involved along with a like number of fighters and bombers in Kikusui IV.

Good evening denizens of the drift! Just had some really good fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy along with some veggies and a pretty good salad so I am pleasantly full as a tick! Got up to 90-91 at my shop today so summer is coming in soon. My local weather forecast is for more flash flood rains coming in for the next few days,I am sure starting to get tired of this stretch of weather for sure! Drift on,think I better work on my boat!
