You coming home this weekend or what? Start the don't know if I'm coming or going adjustments again. Probably easier to do once your home.
I suppose the 1st thing is to figure out what sprouted legs and left for Nebraski somewhere.  Hope you and the wife are still talking and having fun, like laughing at shorts and boots tan lines.  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

We got home a couple hours ago. We left at dark Hawaii time and made it to Houston at 8:00 am and Arkansas at 11:?? It was an awesome trip for sure. I caught some kind of fever and spent the past couple days in bed. Feeling rough today. It’s good to have sweet tea. |

We do need a good guard dog. Festus Hagen just wants to get treats and petted and he don’t care who from. I have proof that Lil Vernon didn’t check on the place cause we didn’t see one empty beer can on our road or down the driveway. I even looked in the back of my truck and didn’t see him. I’m thinking ole Shameless May have teased him with a 12 pack of Keystone and had the place to him self. |

The trip was awesome. We went to Pearl Harbor twice. She got us a VIP tour of the Uss Missouri. We had a very informative guide who served on that boat and knows it like the back of his hand. He was quite humorous especially his attempts to speak southern. On the top of the ship I could see 3 active destroyers docked across the Harbor and all the monuments including the silhouette of the Arizona. It was a very emotional experience. We got to go in the turrets and engine rooms . Being a nurse Jenn wanted to see the sick bay but that’s one place we couldn’t see. There’s even a bakery and a doughnut shop on that ship. We also went on a WWII submarine and i think life on a ship would be grand compared to that.. I hope Shameless will be proud. But I tried 3 kinds of fish and ate part of one shrimp. I had fresh tuna and actually liked it. I had some other kind of fish at the louai that was very good. Jenn had fresh tuna with sea weed I tasted and that was a no go and so was the shrimp. I never had to eat any Minnesota pork chops but there was plenty of chances. They don’t have sweet tea or mash taters over there. I |

Glad you got to get over there Thad and ain't nothing worse then getting sick on a trip! Just be thankful you found the cure before strapping into that airplane seat. I'm hoping to get over there in August if things line out proper....sole purpose of seeing Pearl Harbor cause I already know about the fast women and I can get away quick like. ------------- D17 Series 1 Allis B- 1939 Allis B- 1945 |

Scott go on the uss Missouri website and get the heart of the Missouri tour. I have no idea what it cost but it was very informative. By then the tour over the sunken Arizona should be back open. |

WELCOME back buddy!!!! Sorry you got the heebeegeebees off'n something. How did Jen take it? Did she run off looking to buy stuff whilst you was layin dyin? I'm surprised,,,,,,,I LOVE shrimp and I have quite a few GOOD ways to cook it, including on the grill. I don't particularly like salmon though......Maybe if I was to cook you up some bacon wrapped marinated shrimps.......UUUmmm GOOD! So, welcome back to the bestest forum anywheres.

Ted I’ve tried shrimp lots of ways and just don’t like it. For the most part I don’t like fish but there was some good stuff there. And I wasn’t stuck eating Minnesota pork chops. Jenn did walk around a little bit she’s not really the shopping type. She brought me ice real and it was the very best ever. We had time to kill that last day so we went to the ice cream place again. Yes I was never gone. I found my self setting out on our balcony drinking coffee and waiting to see a ship or something very early each day. I found it quite enjoyable. |

Scott I can get you info if you like but our first trip to Pearl Harbor was guided including shuttle. He pitched us up at the hotel at 6:30 am and we were first in-line for everything. He drops you at each spot and gives you plenty of time to look around. You can tour a lot of the mighty Mo without a guided tour but no turrets or engine room or Broadway. To me that is the highlight of the ship. |
