I can easily remember him yelling for another ...... "Stah-hoo !!"

What's on your agenda today Mick ? Sheetrock seems to be in vogue....

No, sheetrock for me, Stan. I am mostly thumbs on those types of projects. Gonna go for a ride, do some yard shuffling, work on the pool and try to not get murdered or eaten by dogs.

Nearly 1200 men on board. 300 went down with the ship and the remaining 900 or so went into the water. It was some days before the survivors were discovered by accident.


There were 316 survivors picked up, The sharks got the rest..
He mentioned the Indianapolis but he wasn't there. If I recall he said it was a smaller ship. I can't imagine ............. We have no problems folks.

Mid-day Stan by from the Harley shop. Needed to pick up a new light bracket for Mikes bike since he moved it from his trailer early this morning into the garage and the driveway has a really steep incline to it which made it impossible for me to see as I was backing up the driveway to unload a saw an ****. Trailer hitch ball caught it and I am lucky that seems to be the extent of the damage was the cracked mount. I feel so bad....damn.... I suppose that instead of using the mirrors and looking around like an old school driver I need to start looking at the big *** reverse camera too.
