Hey, Have a great time there Native !!!
That sounds like my kind of vacation.
Some nice sand on a beautiful beach with
my honey and an adult beverage in hand.
Don't get much better !!

My LifeTrak watch has been acting up lately. The heart rate monitor hasn't been working.
I think found out why.
Today I looked at it and it gave me a blank expression.
Battery's dead. I need to find another.
In the meantime I still have my old Timex Expedition. It won't tell me how far, how many steps, how many calories or my heart rate but it will tell me the time.

WOW!
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!!!!

Walkinghorse,
I'm planning on attending the Dayton Air Show coming up
next weekend. Blue Angels will be there as well as an
Air Force F22 Raptor. Plus the whole gammut of the usual
WW2 era Military planes.
Usually a really good show. I try to go and watch the Angels
whenever they fly within a reasonable distance from me.
Grew up on Marine Air Base and the Blue Angels would fly
at it every summer.
Every time one of those jets makes a low level pass overhead
it makes me Proud to be an American.
And also damn proud that those guys flying those wonderful
planes are on our side !!!

Take my advise!
I am not using it!
*just noticed one of the ads said I am # 100,000 visitor! It was flashing green, so must be important! I did not click it, as I wanted to be generous and pass it on to someone else.
Maybe you !

Oh my... this date in 1945 the USS Yolo is still off the invasion beaches of Okinawa... and is out of beer. 
Back to Homer Bast:
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.
This is Sunday. One by one the vessels that have been here since the beginning are leaving or have left. Several LCTs came by to pick up supplies. Holiday routine began at 1000. I worked during the morning and then played ace-ducey until lunch which was excellent - turkey. After dinner there was the usual movie and GQ.
Following the struggle with the "Halsey Typhoon", TF 38's performance suffered. Not only was it a harrowing experience for them as men, but opts tells me ships of the force were beat up and not prepared to battle the enemy off Kyushu. At the same time the TF's need to remain in Okinawa waters had all but ceased. Both the men and their ships needed rest. The victorious shore offensive was drawing to a close. Yolo's officers and crew are aware of that from the reports of the men of the vessels we replenish. Additional MAGs have landed at the newly constructed fields. Radar stations have been erected here and on adjacent islands. While still active, the Japanese attack now with fewer than 100 planes. Most believe the enemy has written off Okinawa. The B-29 raids, too, have been effective. As TF 38 departed for Leyte our pilots downed 19 aircraft over Amami and bombarded Minami Daito as the force swept by.

Hey Snubby
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?

internals.

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.

I liked the way you phrased that...
Mine's a digital chronograph. It has an alarm, stopwatch and a countdown timer.This one has been going for years,takes a lickin and keeps on ticking!
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.
Oh yeah, back in the day.
Thanks for reminding me.
