Happy Friday to those poor souls who still have to work.
I found out the lower unit is shot on my boat motor. It's a 2004, with what it will cost to fix I decided to just buy a new one. I spent yesterday researching & calling dealers. It ended up the local guy that has my boat now gave me the best deal. It'll be a few more days before he gets it rigged.
I'm starting to have fishing withdrawal. It's already been a week.

Boat=Break out another Thousand

Been there, done that.:D

Did not see this last night at midnight coming home after a double shift.
Rolled up today and asked Mrs. N why are there rainbows out front.
She said it's a tribute to the Orlando victims.

Shut upped my dumb self.
To all, have the best night you can.

I almost forgot... C. Homer Bast CO, USS Yolo off the invasion beaches of Okinawa this date 1945:

June 17, 1945

Only one GQ was called - all were glad following the events of the 16th. After the ship was cleaned holiday routine was announced. Both the Protestant and Catholic chaplains came aboard for well attended services. The Protestant chaplain stayed for lunch and told us of the life ashore. At 2105 bombs were dropped in the anchorage as planes passed high over us. Shore and ship guns blazed away.


From: The US Army Center of Military History
Chapter XVIII: The Battle Ends

"...Some of the largest cave defenses in southern Okinawa were in the Yaeju and Yuza Peaks. Infantrymen of the 96th Division destroyed these positions with hand and rifle grenades, satchel charges, and portable flame throwers. For the infantrymen it was a search for the enemy's hiding places, often followed by a few minutes of reckless combat. Troops of the 381st Infantry occupied the commanding ground on the Big Apple Peak on 14 June but, for lack of enough explosives to seal the numerous caves in the area, were forced into a night-long fight with Japanese who emerged from the caves after darkness. Yuza Peak fell two days later, on 16 June. On the same day the 17th and 32d Regiments reached Hill 153 and Hill 115, but another day of bitter fighting was required before the Japanese forces were completely destroyed.

Collapse of the 32d Army

By the evening of 17 June, Tenth Army troops held a solid front line along the crests of Kunishi Ridge, Hill 153, and Hill 115, and, for the first time, could look south over the entire enemy-held territory, covering about eight square miles. Forced from its last defensive terrain and obliged to realize that nothing could prevent its destruction, General Ushijima's army suddenly collapsed. Its discipline and morale, weakened by nearly eighty days of defeat, now broke completely and the 32d Army degenerated into a mob."
