Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! Be safe enjoy the Holidays.

 

Will do Ken. Getting ready to start to cook the turkey in a few minutes.

 

I am sorry for the loss of your sister, Sue.


Lynn and I have been in NYC since Monday - celebrating 24 happy years of marriage. Not bad out of a total of 39 total years we've been married. Had dinner out twice, once with an old friend, saw a great live 20s/30s jazz performance on Monday night, went to see the show Wicked last night and walked all over NYC.


Back home now and ready for the Thanksgiving weekend!!


Snowing a bit up here tonight. Just enough to coat the sidewalk and a bit of the driveway - and the temps are dropping.


Stay safe and enjoy the day tomorrow!!

 

That is just wrong on a lot of levels. We ask so much from our active troops plus we received so much from our retired troops and this is how we pay them back?

 

House is starting to smell good!!!!

 

Evening all:
Yea; strange how they take things from people that did so much, and give more and more to those that did nothing! Seems like everythings getting bassackwards!
Happy thanksgiving to all!!!!

 

I got one cut all foreign aid for a start. But NO LETS SHIT ON THE ONES THAT KEEP US FREE while making minimum wage.

 

Jim:
I believe they make a lot less than minimum wage.

When we were in, based on a 40 hour work week, we made right around 50 cents an hour.

 

Just got in upstate and it was snowing North of Carl. On I 80 west there were spots it was almost a white out while driving. But we made it okay and had 2 in he's on the ground and St snowing.

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.
Be safe and enjoy all there is with loved ones today.

 

To you as well Mike. Up and cooking for 12 today.

 

BASSACKWARDS pretty much sums it up. But let's save that for another day.
Happy Thanksgiving, God Bless You and Yours. Rob

I think it was $87 for a PVT E-1 in the Army back in 1969. That is per month. Paid on Friday broke on Monday.

 

E-5 with 3 in & combat pay was 270 a Mo or so. All you needs were free but the EM club. PBRs were 10 each ... The PX for shaving cream or toothpaste

 

IIRC When I graduated basic in 1983 E-1 was $565 a month. Just for a kid's perspective.

 

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!


20deg and windy today with snow blowing around - perfect morning to take a dip in the spa!! The tough part was shoveling the snow off the steps and from in front of the spa for Lynn. That WAS cold.


I remember that my salary as a newly minted 2LT in Germany was too little to qualify for a Sears credit card.

 

Anyone else get a mental image of "6" shoveling snow with a towel wrapped round his waist? Sorry "6", but it made me chuckle. Happy Turkey Day!

 

Morning all:
I think I made 17c an hour, but that was 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a wk. That may have included the extra overseas pay!
Happy turkey day!

 

Did Boot Camp in 68 .... believe the pay was around $40/month. Didn't complain since I got a free boat trip to Vietnam shortly thereafter.

Younger folks think us old farts don't drive Tacomas .... NONSENSE !! I'm on my second one and have two fellow gliding club members that drive them. Only thing more enjoyable is flying a plane with no engine.

I really like my current Tacoma -- 2012 Access Cab TRD Off-Road 4x4. Only issue I had when buying it is that an 8-track player with a Reverb unit was not an option. DAMN!
