    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..

    If I managed to guess the right day (its no longer in your profile) . then

    I'd buy you a 33 or two if Montana were a little closer

    did I ever mention that they gave me an invitation to Canoe U , but I just couldn't commit to 4 extra. ??

    for those members unable to completely follow the posts:
    L-71 & I were taught an obscure language by our shared benevolent uncle*.


    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)



    *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.


    * 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 )

    Cool More laughs

    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...

    PhD = piled higher and deeper...

    I'm in the planning stage right now, but if I think that the ankle will hold out ,
    this (or one like it) may be in the semi-near future
