Butch ... in this high tech, Gen-X, "Kinder, gentler" Navy they are not referred to as Mess Cranks any more. It's Mess Attendants ... they attend to the needs of the crew. The cooks are now Culinary Specialists. "You can doctor the name all you want if that makes you feel better, Cookie ... but these eggs are still green and runny and the flapjacks taste like a used tire !!! "


Gonna be an ugly PT session this morning. I cooked up one of the best T-bones I have ever had last night. Grilled to perfection and smothered with sauteed mushrooms and a big ol glass of wine .

Well, I'll leave you all to your devices. Top ... permission to head to the coffee mess to raid the fridge ???

To bad they don't make them for laptops. Seen way to many units come back from the field with god knows what spilled on the kb. Which then dribbles down on the motherboard and wrecks havoc.

Mornin all,

Mmmm vanilla almond! Thanks Bob!

Hey Pistol wanna trade PT for Tank duty? I could use the exercise. FYI, not the kind you drive, the kind you flush. RV life does have its down sides. However our new 5ver has a "Turbo", flush that is, hook the water hose up to the connector on the side of the RV turn it on and in a couple of minuets tank is clean. No more sticking the little wand down the latrine.

Mikey, you can use heavy duty saran wrap on the laptops. Just tape a piece over the top so your vents will remain open. It comes in pretty colors too.

Well, better get busy daylights a wastin’

Y’all have a great day!

Jeez... I missed the water cooler for sometime now... I found it now kinda late...

Well it's a nice cool 50*F morning here is Idaho. Wind is lightly blow south. All the trees are turn pretty colors of reds and yellows. I guess I should fire up the log splitter today and finish getting the wood in the shed. Wet firewood is a real _____ to light. Pretty soon I will have to find a way to rid myself of 5 arces of brown leaves. Seems like there is more yard work now that in the summer. Time to grab a hot cup of tea and get with it for the day...

Rough morning around here.. First some guy drags me out of the rack at 4 am and makes me do 50 push-ups and then forces me to drink vanilla almond flavored coffee. Or was that all a dream?..............

If I gotta do 50 pushups, I at least want coffee-flavored coffee.

Loong day ended with a headache. Time to go home and recoup.

Enjoy what's left of you day,
