Hey Snubby:

Being part Native American like myself (my great grandfather was full blooded Cherokee), Have you ever listened to any REDBONE from the Late 1960's through the early 1970's? Pat and Lolly Vegas? They were a Native American Band and had several big hits.

I was just reminiscing and found some of their stuff on ITunes.

Witch Queen Of New Orleans. Come And Get Your Love, Message From A Drum. Faido Faido (spelling?) Wavoka (a favorite).

I LOVED Redbone back in the day. Just going back to my roots, playing some cultural stuff.

Just wondering?

Just went and got some REAL Nashville Hot Chicken. Not that KFC stuff. There's a lil Hot Chicken Restaurant not far from us. I asked Grandson what he wanted for supper. Guess what HOT Chicken. Wifey rolled her eyes! Hot Chicken it was!

Wifey will ONLY eat they're plain. Grandson wanted they're 911. So I got wifey plain Breast Strips and me and Grandson got HOT. Not 911! Whole breast quarters. But they're still very Hot. There is Plain, Mild, Hot then Extra Hot and then 911. I didn't want to chance him wasting it.

I've only had they're 911, 5-6 times. He's heard tales of it. It'll make your teeth sweat and your eyes burn just from the smell.

They only serve strips, leg quarters, breast quarters and whiting fish sandwiches. Also in all the above versions. And French fries or slaw or potato salad. That's it. I also like they're HOT fish sandwich. Hand battered deep fried Whiting Fillet. KILLER!

They serve everything stacked on two pieces of white bread and a couple of dill pickles. And the white bread is SO good when it absorbs the HOT flavored grease! And your choice of side dish. I got fries tonight. Yummy!

But, the first thing Grandson, when asked what he wanted to drink with his supper, he said white milk. He ain't no dummy.

So a GREAT Supper! Real Nashville Hot Chicken! Oh Yeah! The REAL Deal.

But I've got to remember, not to touch any private parts for at least 24 hours. Even after washing my hands multiple times. And I have a GREAT wifey story and my HOT Chicken about 10 years ago. But I'll leave that one to your imagination! She still hasn't forgiven me!!!! :mad:

June 10, 1945

After midnight 12 raids entered the area. Several of the enemy's old two engine sea planes were downed. At 0825 the destroyer William D. Porter was patrolling on picket station 15 when a kamikaze dove on her out of the overcast. The plane missed but the bomb ex¬ploded close aboard. Not buttoned up, the ship sank at 1115.

USS William D Porter DD-579

USS William D. Porter (DD-579) sinking after she was near-missed by a "Kamikaze" suicide aircraft off Okinawa, 10 June 1945. USS LCS-86 and another LCS are alongside, taking off her crew. Though not actually hit by the enemy plane, William D. Porter received fatal underwater damage from the near-by explosion. [Support ships are USS LCS(L)(3)-86 and USS LCS(L)(3)-122 behind]

** every crewman was rescued **

The USS William D. Porter was not exactly a "lucky ship." It's the only ship in US Navy history to have it's entire crew arrested at one time, the result of accidentally launching a live torpedo at USS Iowa that just happened to be carrying President Roosevelt at the time.

A separate event occurred while operating in the Aleutians when a sailor came back to the ship drunk after leave and decided he wanted to fire one of Porter's big guns. He fired the weapon before anyone could stop him, having no idea where the 5-inch shell would land. Unfortunately, it just happened to land in the front yard of the base commandant's home while he was having a little party for fellow officers and their wives.

On patrol off Okinawa, Porter was fighting off kamikazes, each loaded with enough explosives to easily sink a destroyer. As one of the suicide planes came in low and aimed straight for the ship, Porter's gunners fired furiously, trying to down the plane before it struck them. This time their training paid off and the crew rejoiced when the plane went down well short of the ship and didn't explode. Maybe, some thought, the ship's luck was finally beginning to change. They were wrong. The Japanese plane had been moving so fast that even after it went into the water it continued to move toward the ship. It kept moving until it was right under William D. Porter and exploded with enough force to lift the destroyer right out of the water.

The ship with the short, troubled history held on for three hours, long enough for every man on board to be rescued.

Mine's a digital chronograph. It has an alarm, stopwatch and a countdown timer.

I wore it working in factories and warehouses. Took a beating and keeps going.
I had just replaced the battery when a Cherokee friend traded the LifeTrak watch for a coupla custom leather knife sheaths.

Loctite and guns - do they mix? This subject keeps coming up - hence another thread for those who wonder.
