    Goodbye, USS Kitty Hawk

    When I was stationed at NAS North Island (San Diego) the Kitty Hawk (CVA63) and Constellation (CV64) were there. That was 75 through 78. While assigned to Marine Barracks there I actually worked for Naval Air Systems Command being senior enlisted at the Navy's Fleet Calibration School. We also...

    Watching China Melt Down

    Well here we are well through February and while Biden's policies have all but destroyed the economy this winter didn't hurt much. While not a "prepper" I do maintain a good stock of dry goods, a whole house generator plus a backup generator and plenty of ammunition and reloading supplies as...

    Who's Been Vaccinated?

    Nothing on a fourth. Wife and I had the Pfizer and the booster. Guess that was a year ago and nothing as to any side effects to date. Neither of us had any side effect. Our general practitioner thought it was a good idea and since I don't have a MD following my name we got the vaccinations. That...

    Good Riddance !!!

    I guess it's all about how we view certain deaths. When someone like Anthony Sowell who I mentioned earlier who raped and murdered 11 or more woman upon his death in prison there were no openly shed tears. Nobody cared that he was dead, some were happy. As corps after corpse was unearthed in his...

    Well, OK I guess you can take the thread however you wish. You find it distasteful that is fine. Sorry you saw my post as ugly sentiment. Ron

    Good Riddance !!!

    No, it is about relishing when certain people simply "go away" as in fired from a position or similar. In a few cases yes, things like executions figure into it but not every post involves relishing the death of someone. For example I agree with the post above yours. I see Anthony Gonzales as...

    Thank you Selena. Wife has some Betty Crocker cookbooks dating back to her mother. Growing up NYC and spending time watching my mom and aunts cook I took to it. Hard not to in a NYC Italian kitchen. While my wife is right at home in the kitchen since I retired about 8 years ago I find myself in...

    While Google has a few dozen recopies for New York Onion Sauce I have used this one for years. They come out as good as I remember them on hot dogs from push carts in NYC. Something for anyone who tries it, the last item is a "dash of clove" and just a small dash is all you need like the...

    Absolutely! On a hot dog note. Years ago I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law in West Virginia. So I went to the market with my sister to get hamburger and hot dogs. I surveyed the hot dog availability and grabbed the Hebrew Nationals. They were in a 7 pack and I grabbed two. My sister...

    That looks good. I see the Hot Dog as a food group. When I can find them I like Bore's Head all beef in casing with Nathans being my second. Growing up NYC I just like casing hot dogs. My wife is not a hot dog liker so when I grill steaks or chicken I make some hot dogs to have during the week...

    Oh wait been there and done that. I left the truck windows down a small crack, maybe 1/2 inch if even that. Driveway runs North & South and the snow as always was out of the North West. I had to shovel the thing out. However, in keeping with food. The only thing I have done recently was make...

    Never thought to make spam with rice. That looks really good. About a month ago I bought a few cans of spam and can't recall the last time I did that. I fried one and made a few sandwiches and still have one. Going have to give that a shot. Ron

    Honest question - what was the answer in Afghanistan?

    This is what happens when you don't have a clear and concise exit strategy. This is what happens when the commander and chief fails miserably to have a good plan using information from their joint chiefs of staff. Ron

    Honest question - what was the answer in Afghanistan?

    The following is a copy of the Email I received yesterday from the VA. Veterans from all eras are reacting to the events in Afghanistan, such as the U.S withdrawal and the takeover by the Taliban. You are not alone. Veterans may question the meaning of their service or whether it was worth...
