Annoyed at thread drift

[kwselke]

Oh yes, here are Homer Bast's comments for this date 1945 on board the USS Yolo:

June 12, 1945

The night passed slowly. I checked the sky and asked for weather reports. Finally with the dawn came the welcome news the typhoon changed course and to negate the typhoon plan. Breakfast over, I worked all morning and was ready for the rare steak, fries, string beans and jello for lunch. Dinner was served early as a double feature was planned.

Difficulties are being experienced in the bakery hut now that the weather is warm. Additional fans are needed, ports should be cut in the shell, and the charley nobles raised to give the ovens more draft. It is a job our ship fitters can do, but they are so overwhelmed with work we do not want them to start on this.

Well, here are two members of the first-line defense against the emus, both on the job.


Staniel Day-Lewis is on porch duty, attentive, as always.



Belle is looking out the window, checking for any avian advances.




I would fire Staniel, but he actually has bird-killing on his CV...

Guard cat Natayo, on duty.

Watching the Orlando Tragedy, how sad!
My condolences, thoughts and prayers to those involved!

My newly acquired pocket rock seems to be trying to communicate. It has built an amplification system and seems to want to play some sort of game. Strange, very strange!

Kwelske, You NEED another Emu attack.
Bwaaahaaaaa
Cracked me up and had me spittin' iced Tea all over myself.
Don't let anybody tell ya' we drifters have too much time
on our hands....

Alright confession time.
Well sorta.
Back in my backpacking days, when hiking a trail, Instead of thinking of the entire days hike of 20 miles or so. I'd make it a series of shorter goals.
To the top of the next hill, across the valley, stuff like that.
My wife and I are doing the same kinda thing with our diets.
Instead of one big goal. we're making it a series of shorter goals with a reward for reaching each goal.
The reward's something that's not on our diet and we havta share.
Yesterday my wife hit one of her goal weights and on our way back from the Y we stopped and picked up her treat, a Little Caesar's stuffed crust pizza.
So, I went off my diet and shared it with her.
I know it'll be a small temporary set back but that's groovy.
My next goal's gonna be Dairy Queen gravy chicken strips, fries and a Dilly bar for dessert.

12 Jun 1945

With Japanese troops hopelessly surrounded in the Oroku sector of Okinawa, Japan requested a ceasefire to allow them to commit suicide rather than surrender. Hundreds blew themselves up with grenades or jumped off cliffs.

Stay at it snubbyfan. I think that's a good way to approach it.
A cheating day here and there will not set you back imho.

As my father said when I showed him a picture I had found of a kamikaze going down in flames... "That's a good one".

I'm thinking that I'm gonna havta go for a long hike or two in the mountains tomorrow to work that pizza off.
It's supposed to be mid-eighties, sunny, light breeze and low humidity. No quite my kinda weather but I think I'll manage.

Wouldn't mind having a German Shepard, my son does.

Sounds like Chesty.

"Tough and colorful" would be huge understatements.

Sun went down about 20 minutes ago here.
76 ° and 52% humidity, with a slight breeze.
But what is really nice is the lightning bugs are out in full force!
Seen a few the past nights, but they are everywhere tonight!!!
Looking over the creek, and the high grass on the other side is an amazing show of light flashes. Always enjoy them!!

If it's a match, I'll take a kidney, please...

I joke with my wife about this all the time. When we pull up beside a motorcycle, I ask my wife if I should roll down my window and find out the rider's blood type. Amazingly, my wife already has many friends who have offered to be tested for a match as soon as she gets on the list. For some reason, people love her and want to keep her around. Me on the other hand...if I needed some body part...bon voyage.

Just pretend this is hwitty.

 

[bigride]

I heard several public talking heads say that they never imagined that this could happen in their city or state or country. Well if you haven't prepared for just such an occurrence, you shouldn't be in public office. It doesn't take much of an imagination to know that this can happen anywhere at any time.

I will probably never face a home invasion at my house...but if I do and I am not prepared...that's on me. You can bet I won't be saying afterwards that I never imagined it could happen to me. May not have a chance to say anything at all afterwards...even if I made preparations.

I pray for peace...I prepare otherwise.

Enough seriousness. I'm losing these pants and bunking out.


Just pretend this is hwitty.
