Maybe I need to try Martini&Rossi?
No fancy cigarette cases if we smoked this is what we carried!
And once in awhile one of these
Naw fellas.....An upside down frisbee under the front
seat holds everything.......

I spent my entire hitch with lighter fluid burns on my thigh.
You twist the end.
Or, so they tell me.

I hear you and agree,all the girls really liked those wines and to be a good host I had to partake myself. We made some wicked punches out of those wines and anything with a high alcohol content!(ever clear,gin,vodka,rum,etc.) No wonder I turned out like I did!
Ever Clear & Bacardi 151 used to make me believe that I had supernatural powers...fortunately, I never tried to fly, or if I did, I sure don't remember it...

A couple was in a busy shopping center just before Christmas.
The wife suddenly noticed that her husband was missing and
as they had a lot of shopping do, so she called his cell phone.
The wife said " Where are you, you know we have lots to do"
He said " You remember the jewelers we went into about
10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace?
I could not afford it at the time and I said that one day I
would get it for you? "
Little tears started to flow down her cheek and she got all
choked up. "Yes, I do remember that shop" she replied.
" Well I am in the bar next to that."

I never tried to fly without a parachute but I might have thought about it a couple of times when I was young and dumb! Night all,long day and need to rest up. Drift on!
All this talk about the cheap beer and wine of years gone bye is making me feel extremely old. Good times tho, some best not remembered. You did miss the worst of the cheap wine, Thunderbird!

Boars Head Apple wine. How about Cheap Ripple? My favorite in the late 60's Boones Farm Apple Wine and the girls loved it.

Pagan Pink...How could I forget? I guess it's like what Pawngal said about some memories being best forgotten...
My only blood connection to a navy ship is to ...
... a lowly river gun boat, the USS Asheville PG-21. Some of you old timers might get an image by recalling the the movie starring Steve McQueen, The Sand Pebbles.
To get off the family farm during the depression my uncle joined the navy. He served his first enlistment on a Yangtze River gun boat. After returning to the farm he warned the neighborhood that war with Japan was imminent and advised all the young men to enlist while they could still choose their branch of service and job. Everyone thought he had become mentally ill and was just plain nuts. He said he thought he was obligated to help pass on seamanship to new sailors and reenlisted. The navy sent him back to the Yangtze.
After the Japanese sunk nearly all of the combined British, Dutch and U.S. Asiatic fleet USS Asheville tried to escape to Australia. She was spotted by IJN heavy cruiser Maya's float plane south of Java, Indonesia.
A high priority in the design of river gun boats was shallow draft. To achieve that weight was kept down by installing smaller power plants than used in ocean going warships of similar size, arming them with only 3 relatively small unshielded 4" cannons and no armor. The Maya's C.O. let his two destroyers use the slow Asheville for target practice. Afterward he picked up only one man, probably to learn the identity of the vessel they'd sunk.
In those days the county road passed close to the farmhouse porch. A navy sedan came rumbling up the dirt road, an officer stepped out, walked smartly up to my 16 year old mother on the porch and immediately started out with "We regret to inform you that …"
