Moping around the house because I'm home and my boat is in Portland geting new upper canvas done.


A friend is going to help me bring it upriver. We're taking him and his Admiral to lunch today so I can run through some things with him. After that we're having my wife's kids and a couple of grand kids over for dinner and to swim.

Cheers All and remember what this day truly is.

The wind is high here in Hood River, so no travel today. Instead we with play like tourists and enjoy what this little town has to offer.

Rest In Peace my brothers and sisters, Ill toast to ya a bit later.

Good point. As is my usual custom, I offer this link to a simple (and very old) web page about my uncle after whom I was named.

Here is a letter, written by the author quoted in my link who served with my uncle. He was writing to another uncle telling him some more about his big brother.
