... These marathon 12-hour days don't get easier as I get older

[emoji38] Twelve-hour days? M'dear you still have your training wheels on!!!! I recall one deployment to the Arabian Gulf in the late 90s (IIRC) that ran 76 continuous days of minimum 14 hour work days.

The Marines used to abuse me like that.... No problem though, I was 225 lbs of lean, mean, fighting Marine.

jk - USMC is the sharpest group in the bunch. Semper Fi.

Did you have to walk to work uphill both ways? In the dark? Milking cows along the way, too? With no shoes?

You left out in the pouring rain, snow, hail, wind all combined!

The world seems to be going to Hell. Hurricanes, earthquakes, wars, threat of nuclear war, dark mornings ... maybe Gary will go back to bed and close the door.

Didn't you hear? The end of the world is this Saturday, supposedly, again.

Gary will definitely be closing the door.

Seriously???? You got any inside information or odds on this being true???? There are some really expensive toys, that I'd like to buy on the no interest no payment for 60 days plan.

Just do it! You only live once! And, you won't need anything past Saturday.

Just be sure to buy things either in person or with expedited shipping, because shipping companies might be suspended with all the fire and brimstone and whatnot this weekend.

[Wait . . . weren't you in the (blue water) Navy, like in air conditioned ships, internet access and whatnot?

That was long before we had civilian Internet access at sea, and in ships whose climate-control systems were NOT designed for that part of the world.

You were on a wooden, Canadian pirate ship, right?

It sailed uphill. Both ways.

Only so far, because that was back in the day when the earth was flat---go to far and you fell off the edge.

Actually they worked great----whatever the climate was outside, they would mimic perfectly inside LOL

I REALLY need a laptop or another tower unit computer.
Because the pics I take with the Coolpix will stay in the Coolpix without one.
