My Dr says my body is in great shape. Just a couple problems from my Agent Orange exposure, but they are under control. Not overweight, good BP. Heart is good. I'll take it compared to some of my younger friends.......

No Don was getting everything cleaned back up. Got the crank, cam and distributor drive all timed back up. Going to get the case back together and install oil pump. I gotta go to the county court today. The Treasurer wanted me to show up to hear about the health department.

I do prefer the nights over the day shifts mainly due to all the riff/raff that is there. The mine is so top heavy with staff it is ridiculous , about 4 to 1. There are a few that would look pretty good in a bikini but the majority I wouldn't want to see in a wet suit

and the beaches are pretty rocky

I left the Coast Guard with a constant ringing in my ears. It's only loud when it's quiet

I got your PM with Maudeen's address, but something is wrong......... The address is one block from Main Street, but the "stash" is farther from town. Did she move into a place closer to town?
