Some busy driftin this afternoon,kept checking in during the day in case some Friday the 13th action kicked in. I guess I am going to have to quit watching the news because the slanted reporting is going to cause me to have a major blowout! News flash! Facebook is slanted to the liberals. I never would have guessed. Drift on.
I like shiny stuff.
You're calling that "lucky"!?!?
That brings to mind a line from an old Cream song:
Born under a bad sign,
I've been down since I began to crawl,
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all...
I KEED, I KEED...

May 13, 1945 was a Sunday, not a Friday. The men on the Yolo just keep doing their job. A lot of folks on shore and at sea have it much harder. Back to Homer Bast's notes.
May 13, 1945
From midnight until dawn Yolo was at flash red and covered with smoke. Despite that, provisions were loaded throughout the night. At 0700 the last load of fresh provisions was brought on board; these last for about two weeks. An hour later issues to small craft were made. So it goes, with supplies handled through the bow doors onto a conveyor belt that runs the length of the tank deck. Each refrigerator is designated to hold certain items. Once stowed, the provisions are moved to the topside via hatches and passed by hand to the waiting vessels.
No church services were held for the chaplain did not come out from the beach. Strolled about the deck this morning and with little wind it was delightful. The walks give me an opportunity to talk with the men and learn what they are thinking. Between 1850 and 2030 some 35 aircraft attacked the ships off the coast. Picket destroyer Bache (DD 470) was hit by a suicider killing 41 and wounding 42. The crew extinguished the fire in short order and the ship was towed to Kerama. Some 25 aircraft dropped bombs on Okinawa but failed to damage installations. Eighteen enemy were downed by CAP and the pickets. Bogeys were active during the night and several closed to five miles, where they were brought under fire.

Same thing happened to myself and two buddies at Yellowstone
Park about ten years ago. We stayed in one of their "primitive"
cabins located on the grounds of the park. (Bed, Showers,
and not much else).
Parked the truck beside the cabin first evening after supper at
the Big lodge. Got out of the truck and a big Bull walks
right down the dirt/gravel road 10-15 feet from us.
I didn't know enough about them to be scared. I just thought
of them as a "western cow". He paid us no mind and kept going
in the direction he wanted to go.

It's Been A Great Day! So Far?
We got everything set up at the Good Guys Car show. I had bought a new easy up tint thing a month ago just for car shows. Never thought about opening the box to make sure everything was there? And yep, it was ! Thank Goodness! Got a little sun burnt, but it was a nice breezy 78 degree day.
Forum member got into a bidding war on my Rohm 22short Revolver. And I ended up getting $1111 and a mini 14. So not bad for a fine collectors item.
I didn't get spanked by a Monkey With a Black Cat? And my Bank was open, after all.
Had a Great lunch with wifey at a Applebee's. I tried some kind of all in burger with their freshly fried potato chips. It was good. And she was even nice to me?? Scared me a little. But I could get used to it.
So all in all a GREAT Day! Made home safe and sound driving the CRAZY Train and fixing to kick back and Aloe Up!
I Hope everyone else had a Safe And Productive Day!

Friday even though it is the13th has been pretty good so far.
Dinner was local made brats steamed in beer with dijon mustard for garnish. Side dish was Bush's baked grilling beans. No buns to keep the carbos down, but great dinner anyway! Marie Callender Key Lime pie for dessert!
Grandson called to thank me for the new 5wt. flyrod , reel, and travel case we got him.
He has just turned 12 in Jan. and it was time for him to put a little culture
in his fishing! Get him ready for our annual trip to the Black Hills. Told him that he needed to learn to tie flies to his hooks! Got a nice giggle back 
I have been putting together a travel fly fishing kit so he can learn about fly tying in the evenings while we are camping.
12 was when I really got into fly fishing!
Then to top it off, got a notice that somebody in the Ukraine thinks I am cute! All I have to do is click a link and will get pictures, and contact info! I am blessed!
Will keep everyone informed as to how that goes!

Hmm, mail order brides? Is free shipping involved? Do you get free return shipping if you don't like the merchandise?
