How much do you get?

[oldteen]

Recital is NEXT SUNDAY!

Hope the kiddies are ready!

I really doubt that you've been loafin' around!

[PROCON]

Hiya Navy Bro!!

I'm glad Monday is almost over; looking forward to seeing the Oregon State Spring football game this weekend with sonboy and friends, and of course there's always baseball this time of year!

How ya doing?!

[oldteen]

If the sun is shining....it MUST be Monday! ;)

Mahalo nui loa for tonight’s tour, Lauren. Can’t recall visiting Watervleit but I do remember those blue and gold NY historical marker signs scattered across the state. There was one in the town nearest us, bragging that George Washington camped there.....

[HiJinx]

Oh boy, things that go ‘Boom’ in the night!

Good evening, Ms. Lauren. Thanks for another great road trip. I seem to remember Watervliet having some importance in our family, but cannot for the life of me remember what. I know Mom worked at Wright-Pat on rocket drone programs; and wonder if she did something similar at Watervliet before meeting my Dad.

Need to talk to my Dad...

Good evening, Army Bro! Doing well, thanks! Nothing out of the ordinary coming up here in the next few days. Will have to get out in the garden soon - rain has been hampering me lately.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

We get about 35” annually.

I have kept the faith.

Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

[2111USMC]

Are ya sure that’s Bronze?

Looks like you may have given me another silver by mistake.

(Silver’s going up. I’ll have to cash these babies in!)

[Kathy in Alaska]

They keep doing that! Moving is such an annoyance. You can load it with the pictures if you feel moved. LOL!!

[HiJinx]

Ft. Monmouth would make a good field trip. Several of our ‘regulars’ in the Canteen have CECOM connections.

We’ve already done Aberdeen, I think, which is where CECOM is moving their offices. Our company already has offices there in anticipation of the full move.

Aloha Biglook!

Yeah, you get a lot more rain, but your rain falls all at once, doesn't it?

Ours tends to be an all day miserable drizzle.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Colonel...((HUGS))...more sun today? We still have NOT gotten any of our promised rain.

[left that other site]

I was being facetious. I have noted loafed around in many years. LOL.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Hi, Ma! hugs to you! We had a sunny morning, which is better than we have been doing. Supposed to snow again tomorrow night though. I could just scream. Nicely, of course.
