Remember those analog wrist watches we were issued? Strangely enough I still have mine. The radium spots on the dial must drive the airport scanners NUTS!
I donated my Seiko (involuntarily) to some Cowboys ....my little green one with the nylon strap is ... ???? (they're in-style now) ... still wear my Randolf Engineering issued frames, (or at least a modern replacement) , tho prescription has changed a bit..Quote:

Two old military goats and a bowl of Pho (or maybe Bun bu Hue?)

I only know 1 percent (or less ?) of Loach71's story , but that is enough to put
him om my "10 most respected LHF members" list (for whatever that's worth)
Geeze...really . I'm sitting in my rocking chair listening to tunes,
and he's working on a PhD* (and he's slightly older than me, and I'm older than dirt) :blink:
*PhD = post hole digger ??? (I can joke abt that since Dad & Unk had one
and my son will be starting on his next year)
R&R's ??? Tokyo , HK , Taipei and Bangkok and 30 day basket in ....(drum roll plse ) ..........
Salem, Oregon.:eek: :barf:
* Tim was with the Big Green Machine while I joined the Canoe Club ...but we both wore the same snazzy clothes ( he had more shiny jewelry tho )
The "shiny jewelery" just made me a better target for those "evil-nasties" with the Soviet / Chicom .51 caliber DSKH heavy machine guns. When the tracers look as big as beach balls you know you are living on the edge...:eek:
PhD = piled higher and deeper...

Sorry - but belated birthday to you, Mr Loach!
Hope you enjoyed the day with the stuff you like!
