Hi Stainlessbanner. Like the recruiting graphic.

[SAMWolf]

1994 Kim Il Sung, North Korea's communist leader since 1948, died at age 82.

May his son join him very soon.

Good Morning Fiddlstix.

Listening to "Devil Went Down to Georgia" this morning. Get that heart going.

[SAMWolf]

You didn't have to wait 30 minutes. You're opinion is always welcome here. I can't guarantee that everyone will agree with it, but don't let it stop you.

In-laws have come and gone, I'm still trying to play catch up on the two weeks I lost. Family is fine, we're getting by. How's things going with you family?

[SAMWolf]

LOL!

I think I'll pass, I have two dogs and I can get that "fragrance" for free just using a garden hose.

Listening to "Devil Went Down to Georgia" this morning.

Good choice. Play your fiddle, son!

[Valin]

May his son join him very soon.


Looking for a downside...I'll get back to youi when I find one.
(note: Don't hold your breath)

[SAMWolf]

I can't think of a downside either.

[SAMWolf]

Johnny plays that fiddle hot doesn't he?

[Fiddlstix]

Good morning Sam
Sounds good too J

Hey Snip~

Morning Sam~

Great work guys . . . excellent CW Naval read. Now I know where "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" originated.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks.

It took me a while to realize that "torpedoes" in the Civil War were really mines. Growing up with "Run Silent, Run Deep", "Destination Tokyo" and "Operation Petticoat" I had a definate mental picture of a torpedo

Hi w_over_w, thank you for your kind words.

I learn something new here everyday!

[snippy_about_it]

Thank you SAM for the pictures of our troops.


I'm so happy you post them everyday so we can 'see' them rather than only read about them.

[SAMWolf]

You're welcome Snippy. I like seeing them too.

I wish all of them were of happier circumstances.
