Howdy,,
Raymond haven't thought that way in years but it sounds pretty good. All the boobs you want and somebody to wipe my ass.
Glad your wife and Sammy are doing good and good luck on the other place.
Thanks to everybody for caring about me and being my friends for life.
Had a good day at work but I'm tired.
Talk to all of you tomorrow and hope all of you have a good fathers day.

Good afternoon, early evening from South Florida. Just got back from the Francisco Bay Area. The food was exceptional and reasonably priced, surprisingly, and the weather was in the 60's, slightly overcast. I decided to follow the cable car tracks up and down Powell Street from Market to Ghirardelli Square. What a walk! Frik'n hills killed me but I really tried not to show to anyone. (Pain is weakness leaving the body and all.) To think that I used to antelope up these very hills as a youngster. By the way, I didn't see any fatbodies walking up those hills, just down. I rewarded myself with a couple of Irish Coffee's at the Buena Vista Cafe at $7.50 a pop. At least they put alot of Irish Whiskey in with the coffee. Decided to use the Cable Car to get back to Market Street. The fare
was $5.00 one way but worth it. Headed back to Florida the next morning. I submitted some photos that I thought you folks like to see. By the way,Treasure Island (Yerba Buena Island) has gone the way of developers; nothing of note to see where Alameda Naval Air Station once stood. It's kinda sad.
I hope that everyone is doing well and getting better. Missed you all online (tried to stay away from the internet on this trip).
Adios, for now.

I thought that I would take a picture of Joe Dimaggio's "North Beach" Playground for you baseball buffs. The weather wasn't co-operating for photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. What a heck of a day to go sailing.

RONNIE....we ALL miss our service. I miss my friends, especially the ones who didn't make it home. It's okay though....we'll all meet again at the Gates. Hold on to your memories....they keep our life in perspective...every day......DOC

So very true Doc, Semper FI Brother.

Morning Jarheads, a Doc, Ronnie Happy-Jarhead-B-day. Redman, I will try to get on Cowboy Up more often. I moniter it, but haven't had much of substance to add. JD Breakfast entre and coffee this morn. 80s and chance of t-storms again today. Restless night last night. Tossed and turned most of it, and finally had a case of the green apple two step which forced me to get up early. I think I've lost 10 lbs since 0300 LOL. The constant t-storm threat has really slowed construction. Doesn't rain all day, but takes several hours after the rain stops to pump out standing water, and dry up the site enough for our trucks to get in. Makes Redi-mix a muddy, miserable experience. SF

Thanks Bob, we have had enough rain too but it hasn't stopped our washpant, SEMPER FI.

Welcome back Gary!! I went through Alameda/Treasure Island TOO....68'!! I got to S.F. two days early, went in cab to The M. Hopkins, booked the best single room...and ate IN, or...FROM The Top of The Mark!! Spent OVER $500.00 in S.F.!!! A buddy Doc, and I met up, and we went to ONE Nudie show, and SEVERAL BARS!!! Memories, that I'd forgotten...THANK YOU...for bringing them back. The Doc I was with, was KIA...two months into his tour...he was with 3rd Marines TOO...DAM SHAME! GOOD GUY! I pray to be reunited with those fine men, and the ones recently departed. GOD...please watch over ALL of my Brothers....SEMPER FI....DOC

Earlier than Morning Marines, Doc
Up again wonder why?
Went to TI on the way to Nam. Got on the trolly and didn't have much money. The trolly I got on went to the beach. When we got there the driver came by to collect more money. I said I don't have any more money I thought this was a round trip. He said no its not.
Had on my uniform and he said don't worry about it Marine its on the house. Even gave me my original fee back and said hope you have a safe trip to Nam and back.
Got back to TI and stayed a couple more days.
I was an old farm boy that hadn't seen any of the world and not had been out of N.C. at that time. Couldn't believe how the women were dress with no bra's on.
That's how this country boy started growing up. The rest is history.
Thanks to all of you for your stroies and support.
HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE A GOOD FATHERS DAY WEEKEND
