Well, you’re a Marine. They had to take you apart and rebuild you from scratch, LOL!

Here is a photo of the type of Speedling Flats I start my Corn and Peas in...

We grow 50 different Dahlias and Slugs love the shoots as they emerge from the soil. Our late rains wash out the Slug bait over night so I started using ground Oyster Shells as a deterrent and have had great success with it. I buy 50# at the feed store every 2 or 3 years and they were less then $6.00 here...

Yep in 1969 I needed that! :)

My second night in this old wooden barracks - I was assigned to a top bunk and the guy in the lower bunk decided he could not take the USMC any more. He crawled out one of the big old sash windows and went AWOL. Some how he actually made it off of Paris Island (something that everybody will tell you is impossible to do). At 3am in the morning he is hitch hiking down a country road. Guess who picks him up on his way to work?

Our platoon's Sr. Drill Instructor! Gees what bad luck eh?

We were shocked awake at about 3:30 am! Full lights on, loud banging on the metal trash cans and shouts of Get Up! Get Up! The idiot was standing in the middle of the squad bay in his skivies and shaking like a rat! We never saw him again after that.

That day was a very very bad day for the rest of us!
