To think some famous Admiral walked these deck plates




Control room for one of the 16" gun turrates. The breech room was closed off as the powder magizines. But I did get to see a shell elevator.



The North Carolina was in Gwadle Canal and protected the Carrier Enterprise from Comacazzie (SP) attacks. It took one torpedo on the Port side, but I couldn't see where it hit. The tour of the ship didn't allow us full roam of the ship. For us guys, the engine room was awsome. I didn't take any pics though

Just make sure you get pictures, better yet a movie.

Still sitting in my little motel room waiting. Rounded up all the stuff for the electrical service and put that together. Now I just need a power pole and a fricking house to attach it to.

I'm going to make sure she's with me when when, and if, I ever meet Cincy. She ought to be wound up tight by that time and I won't need to lift a finger!

Talking

this from a guy who spent 20 years camping....*(cougar)^^^^

youch cincy- play nice!

Shorts- firemen were ordered to quarters. too hot outside....union rules.

set my blonde, blue eyed SIL up as she manages a company right up from a firehouse. gonna have a broad chested, 36 y.o. come in and rescue her out of the office; trade off for some freebie stuff her company does (fortune 500 giveaways). She heard the truck come up, thought she missed the alarm-got every one out and got right in her ford pickup and left. thought she'd use the 15 minutes to run an errand/time management. romantically hopeless i call her. Still took care of the company, but she sent the warehouse guys down !!
missing the p o i n t....she's 42 now, and single probably forever.

half of barn wall done, made from scratch beans and ham mmmmmmmm

have to talk with an investigator next week, appearantly i own a trucking company. looks like I forgot to pay myself too..... this oughta be good.

On duty back in quarters, not to hot today, raining hard and around 70*. Lots of water related issues for calls today. Busy busy busy. Hopefully the night tour will quiet down but for some reason I doubt it will.

4 tractor trailer wrecks last week and a car that decided to jump a wall and literally go through a house and into their basement.

You poor SIL. There's got to be a romantic comedy film crew following her. And union firemen?? No way? How do they get away with the hot firemen calendars then? Is that one of their perks?



Ok yall I'm starving. Gonna go start the fire for fajiters tonight. Everybody's invited except Cincy.
