As Hawaii would say.....good night, bubblehead.

[NYTexan]

Hope yall can get the same table, so yall can better reflect on our visit. It sure was a grand time!

[El Gran Salseron]

I look at it on the menu and decide. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Hawaii......and thanks for your service to our country.

[El Gran Salseron]

There's only three of us. I doubt they would give us that big table for only three. Not in the morning. Maybe at 3 in the afternoon they would.

IHOPs are dead in the afternoon.

Gnight Brother

Im off to sleep now.
I wish I could be there tomorrow morning

[El Gran Salseron]

And I don't remember the actual breakfast as much as I do being able to hang around the parking lot for awhile, taking pics, etc. That seemed more.....intimate? friendly? warm? Anyway, I felt more of a closeness and camaraderie out in the parking lot.

I see that you're a submariner. Ever get any flack re the hull number? A tin-canner I met who served on the USS BLACK (DD-666) wished he had drawn a better number.

But speaking of submariners, my father-in-law served aboard the USS TINOSA - the first one - during WWII.

In his day, future submariners were required to pass a specific swimming test. He never learned to swim, and got a buddy to take the test for him. Fooled the instructors and he got his dolphins. An FT 3rd class, he was on watch one night when an spotted a Japanese warship. A short while later, Tojo was minus one ship. His skipper gave him a bottle of whiskey for his efforts. He was a non-drinker so he stashed it away. Some time later, when he opened his footlocker, it was gone. He was more pleased with the broom on the mast when they arrived in Pearl than he was of the missing bottle.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Please note..."Good evening"......not "Good night". LOL!!
