Make him swab the deck.

ahoy!

I’ll be watching these details this evening.

Comin’ right up, Bev!

Margaritas sound good. Made pumpkin ice cream yesterday.

Give it time for the food to digest and he will be standing on the poop deck……

Mid-Rats! Usually a great Meal! USN 65-95

Um….those Margaritas last nite….my head hurts! Did I do anything weird? Like doing the hula on the bar? (Actually did that once at a bar in Hermosa Beach CA, back in the 70s) I thought I did, I hope no one had their cell phones out. Did I? Do that?

Literally “dogging the watch”.

Weak? Not a bit of it. Gotta eat to keep up your strength.

Be patient, you take the first dog while the dog eats. You can eat while the dog takes the last dog.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_watch

All my videos are showing today as ONLY an exclamation point in a circle (even some I posted this morning). What needs updating, guys?

I thought that was Skipper, not High Chief. Never mind. As the weak link in the chain of the evening watch, he’s scuppered!

SUSAN, I am so glad you told us about the security cameras. I want to look my best when i am at the Tiki from now on. You never know who will be watching you know.

Gosh, BEV. That’s a great shot of Jimmy Durante! I didn’t know he was still around, lol

I guess BEV posted her parting shot.Good Night Ballard Dears.

All the vids are back! No action needed it seems. Time for my bath G’night all!

My favorite was Ham and Lima Beans, and yes, they were usually called by their other name more often than not. Which should remain unspoken in Polite circles.Yeah, Tabasco certainly “spiced” up the taste for most of the fare.I suspect the Navy ate better because most of us didn’t “Hump” the bush.My nickname was “Sarge”. It involved the exchanging of Uniforms with an Army Sergeant at the Danang Navy enlisted club (I was an E-5 also) and the subsequent appearance at my morning muster. Still in the Army uniform, my Chief was not amused. I carried that nickname until I was commissioned to Chief Warrant Officer a few years later. A few friends from that era still use it. I too still have “John Wayne”!Thanks for your Service!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm – fresh vegetables!

Weak link, my foot! The troops need to be well fed to keep their morale up. Meathead knows that “an army runs on its stomach.”

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
