A little fun side note. In the early spring of 1973, we were on a six-month Med Cruise and had pulled into Naples Italy. I was on the 0400 to 0800 Sound and Security watch. Part of my duties were to take the draft reading from the pier. I heard over the 1MC, "Fireman D,, report to the Captain on the Quarter Deck". I was wondering what the fuck have I done wrong for the Captain, an O6, to call me an E-3 to the Quarter Deck?"

When I got there, I saluted and reported to him. He looked at me and said, "These draft reading cannot be right. I am going to show you how to take these readings." Down to the pier we went and to the bow. He looked at my report, looked at the draft markings, turned and went to mid-ship readings, then turned and walked quickly aft. After he checked those he turned to me and said, "Fireman Daniels, I owe you an apology, your report is absolutely right. We're sitting on the bottom sucking mud into the main intakes."

We quickly took off back to the Quarter Deck and told the OOD to get ahold of LCDR T. who was the Chief Engineer. My Division Officer was there as my Chief and my shop LPO. The Chief asked the Captain if there was a problem and he said, "At first I thought there was. But Fireman D. was correct with his draft report and the charts are wrong. We're sitting on the bottom taking mud into the main intakes and we could have a major problem."

That’s a good officer.

Respects his crew. Trusts then and didn’t pull that officer bullshit. Owned the issue.

Respect.

There were only a few officers I couldn’t respect when I was in the army. Most of the officers I worked with were committed, forward looking and solution oriented and had their shit buttoned up tight. There were a few tho… Lt Christiansen comes to mind (name changed to protect the guilty)

Good morning Wat and Boat. Yes the ice is here and I am not walking anywhere. The salt trucks are out but the side roads are bad.

How are others doing in this crappy icy weather? Be safe and try to stay warm.

I go this afternoon to have the biopsy of the prostate. I heard it’s quick and not painful. I am taking Tylenol with me to get ahead of any pain. And my GF is going with me for moral support. I am glad she is part of my life.

You two are lucky to have each other! 🫂🫂

No. How do you do that to your mother? It's like I know she needs to be evaluated, but doing it too soon would just be an insult and embarrassing to her. I think she knows because she spends an awful lot of time telling us she's not crazy when she describes these events to us.

It's not a matter of doing something nefarious to her. It's a matter of being proactive with her health. Her primary care provider should be able to work an evaluation into an office visit without insulting and/or embarrassing her.

That said, it's a difficult decision to make. I remember when my husband and his sister had to tell my FIL he could no longer drive. It was a difficult conversation. I even had the same convo with my husband when his vision became so bad he could no longer drive safely.

It's really hard to both support your loved one and want what's best. I'm sure you will make the decision when the time is right. 🫂🫂

Mine is the sweetest girl... until the clippers come out. I've even tried papoose rolling her to no avail. She's fine with a dremel. I have an old electric nail file I use.

Yesterday, I put her up on one of the high bar chairs to cut knots behind her ears out of her fur. She was good for me. It was the first time I've done it solo.

Yup! Definitely did all the checks/scans for concussion, neck injury etc. Suprisingly it did not bleed as much as one would have expected looking at the sized of the gash. She was wearing a ski beanie so that offered a tiny bit of protection but could have been much worse.

I expected they would. How is she doing now?

Well yesterday was interesting. For everyone’s safety the bough had to come down but it was a nervous exercise given how badly split it was. There was always a chance it could twist and hit me so I used a long reach chainsaw that was a little small so took time. Every little creak had me ready to run. Eventually it atsrted a reasonably controlled descent!

Drive blocked I had moved a car below it by the gate just in case. Bloody good job I did! My ageing chainsaw decided not to,start so I had to get to a local supplier for a new one. To be fair it was a lot more powerful and more suited to a job that took me best part of three hours; but then I don’t fell trees everyday.

Driveway finally clear I just need a good chiropractor as Ibuprofen don’t seem to be up to it
lol

That is a gnarly break, G! I'm glad you got it down without losing one of your own limbs! Bright side is now you have some firewood for next year! 😃✨️💞

So it’s back to basic training and steadiness for the boys, including pup Jack. It’s all about discipline now after a season of running themselves silly on the hills. We will get there, particularly Jack who is inclined to anticipate just now. So it’s put him back when he does and start again, it’s tedious but has to be done.

Look at these gorgeous boys! Come to Auntie Lili! I have treats! 😍🥰✨️💝
