Every Thursday at the Finest  |
Hi Billie. You're right. I think I'm going to take a break for a few days anyway.
Speaking of.....I'm going to call it a night. We're here on this thread tomorrow, too. Come again if you get a chance.
I will if I get a chance.
((((hugs))))) 'Nite, Billie! You stirred up a right hornet's nest today, didn't you! There's a lot of folks who feel a whole lot better having gotten all that ranting done! LOL!
Oh, Rus!!! I wish you had pinged me--I just happened on to your post kinda by accident! That just stinks! Don't let them get away with that kind of dirty tricks. To me it proves that you are a REAL challenge to the good ole boys up there!
On top of that, how's your foot tonight? Hope your hard work isn't aggrivating it too much.
Nighty night, Billie. Sweet dreams.
That guy in the last photo with the new prop has a pretty easy job doing it in dry-dock.
We used to change props underwater alongside our ship...circa '66. That's the USS WHITEHALL (DD-634). She hit a whale and bent the tip of the port screw to the point that it was causing too much vibration to the shaft and hull. She came alongside the PIEDMONT at 1400 hr. We were in the water at 1410 and worked until 1830 in prep work to change the prop the next morning.
The Bos'n piped reveille at 0600. We wrapped three turns of primer cord around the shaft just fwd of the hub of the old screw. Qt 0601, we yelled "Fire In The Hole." The blast brought everyone on deck - most in their skivvies.
By 1500, we had the new prop installed, got the job order signed off and we went on liberty.
LOL!!!
I keep my foot up whenever I possibly can. During the day I take breaks and sit down with my foot up. Long slow progress.
The local GOP do not like me and that is their problem. I am more of a Republican than they could ever think of being. I do whet I say I am going to do, I don't just say the words and do something else.
They are rino's and part of the problems we have in this state. They can't stand the fact that we started the tax revolt in December, we have succeeded in defeating a salestax increase and defeated the school budget this year.
They have had their way for to many years and have destroyed the economy. I will attend the democrat fundraisers for their opponents in the local race for town council, and hopefully defeat them by helping the opposition.
I warned them over and over, you will regret the day you didn't endorse me. I will heavily scrutinize town government when elected, they know it, but things will be worse if they don't knock it off.
Hi, or Good Morning! Look at the post above..
We don't need a Mount Everest of old newspapers to know the feeling of being trapped under the crush of our work and the burden of overwhelming spiritual demands. Yet a glance at our Savior reveals His deep inner rest. In Tyranny of the Urgent, Charles E. Hummel writes: "Jesus' prayerful waiting for God's instructions . . . gave Him a sense of direction, set a steady pace, and enabled Him to do every task God assigned." Jesus invites the weary to come to Him. "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:29). This rest that comes with salvation is not achieved by effort but is received by faith. In Christ we can also find release from the tyranny of the urgent and accomplish everything He has given us to do. —David McCasland
Come unto Christ for rest; Come lay your every burden down, And lean upon His breast. —Anon. Following Jesus takes the busyness out of life.

Sorry to hear of this latest "dirty tricks" effort. They are afraid of the housecleaning you have vowed to do..
Keep us posted & I know you trust God with the whole thing..
Was being one a long time goal, or did you join the Navy

Good--you're taking good care of that foot. It has got to be very painful when you're trying to work hard to get the job done. I'm sure those antibiotics are beginning to do their thing to get you well.
Man--I hate you have to work with DUM-ocrats to get anything done, but the establishment up there needs to be shaken out. I want you to be the winner, though. I know if you were, people in your part of the state would really know what good government can be!
Thanks for your daily lesson to let us learn where true liberty is obtained...through Christ!
Have a great day!

Emergency workers filled 50 garbage bags as they dug through the debris just to reach him.
