Some good music this afternoon,there is hardly any music I won't listen to and I have really enjoyed what gets posted here because you get people's personal likes and it reminds me of how radio used to be where each DJ played what they wanted instead of some pre programmed stuff that is the same everywhere. Drift on!
 
The war in 1945 Okinawa continues...

June 8, 1945

Between 0034 and 0500 some 40-59 aircraft were over the area. The strong winds which blew yesterday quieted around 0000, and the stars came out. The sky was clear and cloudless. Following their usual procedure of late, the enemy came within five miles of the anchorage and then withdrew. For days the airfields have escaped night bombing but around 0340 bombs were dropped in the vicinity of Yontan. The Japanese are strange. Apparently the "no attack" idea is to make us remain at GQ for long periods of time. Tonight it was four hours. Around 0750 a GQ was called for an hour and then again later we returned for another session. CAP engaged a large number of Japanese some miles out. TF 38 resumed operations off southern Kyushu but our pilots had little success, as the enemy planes were far inland. Only 29 planes were destroyed while our losses were four to AA.

During the day the boys loaded 93 tons of fresh and frozen foodstuffs from the 14,280 ton Matar (AK 119). Tomorrow dry stores await their turn. Tonight a movie was held on the tank deck. I try to be there on time, for the men do look forward to the show.

 
Timmber Wolf the Wonder coach sitting comfortable in a small slot on the hillside in VA. We visited the USMC National Museum today, wife on Pogogo, me on cane. I kept up successfully, but I will pay the price in the morning. F4Us hanging from the ceiling, neat but a bit far away. Next stop the obvious other museum in the VA area then back here for the night. Geoff Who notes it's getting cold tonight, wife is expected to be ecstatic about that in the morning. Me, my blood is Florida thin, as a fresh baked cracker.
 
Good Evening

I hope everyone had a GREAT Day!

I'm worn out. But it seems my Elderly Lady Escort Service was a hit. They have been calling wifey for hours, telling her how much they enjoyed today's trip. Glad I could Help. Just hope they bagged their limit of Tee Shirts today? But there's always tomorrow to bag another daily limit of Tee Shirts

So I just took my 2nd shower of the day. And Fix'n to lay out and watch some TV and hopefully get a good nights sleep? But I need to check wifey's notes for me, to make sure it's on my list? Did I mention? I hate freaking notes. I'd like to stick a damn post-it note up her, well never mind, y'all get my drift!

So I hope everyone has a joyous evening. And if you see a A Post-It note! Avoid it. It's probably for me anyway!!!!!
