Marines Preparing To Do Marine Things!

Recruits are taught Marine Corps Martial Arts Program techniques that instill basic self-defense that they will execute throughout recruit training during events like body sparring and pugil sticks to help build a warrior ethos and esprit de corps.

Howdy, Kathy.

It’s probably a good bet that Champ is finished for the year. I doubt we’ll have any more 70+ degree days for quite a while. I’ll winterize him pretty soon.

Lovely day up there to look at on the cam but I wouldn’t want to have to go outside in that cold. LOL

The temp has been slowly but steadily dropping here today. It was breezy but that stopped at sunset. They say we’ll have 30 to 40 mph gusts tomorrow and stay windy through Friday. *sigh*

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Have you had any effects from that nasty storm that’s off the coast or did the mountains block the brunt?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...so important that our troops, past and present, be remembered.

[PROCON]

Hi radu, no storm here, it hit western Washington, we had an uneventful weather day.

Hope all is well your way!

Glad to hear you didn’t have any problems with it. I didn’t know how far east the effects were being felt.

Things are good enough here. Finally getting seasonal weather here, though I’m not exactly thrilled. LOL I don’t like cold weather.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no...more wind is not welcome. Will it bring any rain?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening,USA-FRANCE...thanks for helping honor our troops.

[radu]

It’s most unwelcome, no doubt. More tree trash to pick up.

At this point, no rain with it down here but there might be snow in some areas in the north part of the state Thurs. night into Fri.
It’s just going to be cold, but it’s supposed to be this time of year. LOL

Evening, Kathy! Love the army pics!

[luvie]

Visiting some vets when in Maine.
We'll never forget them!

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Are you expecting frost again tonight?
I’d say your kitties would appreciate it if it doesn’t get that cold again. Their coats can’t be all that thick yet after it being so warm so late in the year.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, spel, and thank you for this evening’s selection of music. ((HUGS))

Great tunes to work by...and lots of brass.
