MERRY CHRISTMAS PAT!
Congratulations on your BIG move!!
My father was a career artillery Army Officer and we moved every 3 years... Germany, Austria, Washington State, Long Island, North Carolina, San Diego, Oklahoma, New York and others. Saw alot of U.S. states growing up!
HOORAY in deed!!

patsquire

Merry Christmas Fred!

I'm here!

I am now a West Virginia home owner located in Martinsburg, which is in the northeast tip of the state. I closed on the house Tuesday, the moving van arrived and unloaded Wednesday and I slept here for the first time Thursday night, December 21, 2023. This is my 16th state of residence in these 77 years - - 32% of America! Yes, this move is definitely permanent.

H O O R A Y !

treker

HAVE FUN!!!
Sooooo,...is this a permanent relocation?

patsquire

MOVING DAY IS HERE! DECEMBER 8! WE'RE GOING TO LOAD AND GET ON THE ROAD.

My computer will be disassembled and boxed in a few minutes. I'll be back on line when I can - - perhaps not until December 21. (Before if possible.) Next stop West Virginia!

treker

Sounds as if you have quite a crew to help with your packing. Good Luck my friend!
(It's never easy regardless of the crew size!)

patsquire

Thanks. You're right about the packing, but I've been at it off and on for a few weeks and made good progress. And this week is the big push. My family is coming for Thanksgiving, starting today. Four adults and two almost-teens, and we're all going to be packing up a storm for several days. I expect the house to be transformed by Sunday! (Only two are staying here, the rest in a time-share nearby.) I'm excited! ☺

treker

Congratulations on your West Virginia house offfer being accepted. Now,...ugh,...the packing!!! Whew!

patsquire

Hi Fred!

For the last week or so I've been house hunting in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I spent many dreary days seeing awful houses. Then yesterday, Sunday, I found a great house in West Virginia and made an offer on it. This morning I found out that my offer was accepted, so I will be moving from Tennessee to West Virginia in early December. I and my whole family are very pleased! ☺

Some music is beyond description…there are no words. Miles Davis himself called Jimmy Smith “the 8th wonder of the world.” That’s the great Ed Shaughnessy on drums, and I only wish I knew who the wailin’ horns were. Shut the doors and windows and crank the volume up to 11!

She is very funny!!

patsquire

HERE'S A SPECIAL TREAT:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-M5uVyfO7Y

Do you remember the wacky daytime TV show "The Gong Show?" This is the best thing that ever happened on that show (aside from Jaye P. Morgan flashing her breasts on national TV, for which she got fired).

treker

Some good ones!!

patsquire

Do you know what my pet termite Clint does? Clint eats wood.

patsquire

Older employee to new guy, “First day? OK, your first job is to sweep the floor.” “But I’m a college graduate!” “Oh, sorry. Give me the broom and I’ll show you how.”

patsquire

I've been accused of trying to stirrup trouble.

treker

Yes, very true.

patsquire

To be or not to be a rider of horses, that is equestrian.

treker

Absolutely correct!

patsquire

Ahem! - - - There’s a fine line between a numerator and a denominator, which only a fraction of people understand. ☺

treker

Yep,...lotta truth in them words!

patsquire

Fred my friend, I know a lot of jokes in sign language, and I guarantee you’ve never
heard them.

treker

No recent photos since I'm busy doin' Spring gardening, painting, and other "stuff".

I don't see any recent pictures. Days are getting warm, plants are starting to grow
up here on the Clearwater River.

Hey, I just saw you solved a puzzle of my granddaughters (Kelly ) 6 point elk in 2014
THIS IS DON FROM CRUISEN, GRAND pictures on the KELLYTIA. Elk is on the HAUKEDAHLSULLINS

treker

Good thinkin'!

patsquire

You're welcome Fred. I sent this to my daughters earlier today and then thought, why not share it around Jigidi too? ☺

treker

Pat- just now saw this note from you. I will make a note to self for tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!

patsquire

5 planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus will line up near the moon this week. Tuesday just after sunset will be the best time to see this spectacular array.

Look to the western horizon just after sunset. The planets will stretch from the horizon about half-way up in the night sky. Don’t be late because Mercury and Jupiter will sink below the horizon about a half-hour after sunset.

Venus, Mars and Jupiter will be pretty easy to see. You might need binoculars or a modest telescope to see Mercury and Uranus. Venus will be one of the brightest things in the sky, and Uranus with its faint green glow will be just above it. Uranus is usually not visible from Earth. Mars will be near the moon with its red aura.

It can be seen from all over the world.

Janie_Janie

Yes, tough tour of duty, with the agency
All the best to you both~

patsquire

So he got there about a month after I left. The Delta was the swampiest part of Vietnam, not easy duty.

Janie_Janie

Its so nice thst you 2 have connected ~

Janie_Janie

I so enjoy seeing you two connect here. Its wonderful. My brother in law was there about that time. He volunteered just out of college and served 2 years in the Mekong Delta. He was in Vietnam from March 1969 until 1971

treker

How much time left in service when this event happened?

patsquire

My only regret was that I never got to go back to my platoon.

treker

Pat- OMG, I'm awestruck you weren't killed. You've more than likely re-lived this many times. INCREDIBLE experience!

GK- 3 Purple Hearts! Quite the ordeals you survived. Yeah, right. "Just another day in paradise!" ;-)

GeorgiaKayaker

@patsquire

3 purple hearts here but none from the 3 napalm burns on my back when the Air Force got a little too close to save my ass. Not sure of the date (1968)...just another day in paradise.

patsquire

I got shot in the chest, but the bullet hit a white phosporous grenade I had hanging over my heart on my web gear. (Like the old west bible-in-the-coat-pocket!) It stopped the bullet but cracked open and started spitting WP all over. I had to reach down and unbuckle my web gear and throw it off. I got about 50 small to medium burns on my hands, chest, arms and legs. They all healed up without needing grafts, though, so it was the proverbial million dollar wound. It got me back to the states and healed up in a couple of months. And as you say, I'm still here to celebrate it!

treker

Quite an anniversary,...you're still here! YAY! ;-)
What were the extent of your wound(s)?

patsquire

Fred, I'm celebrating today! It's my 54th anniversary of getting wounded in Vietnam! ☺

patsquire

Hell yes, my jump pay made my car payments! And we would have jumped for free!

treker

And,...we got paid EXTRA for jumpin' outta aeroplanes!!

patsquire

Small town of Louisville, Tennessee, just southwest of Knoxville. We pronounce it Lewisville, apparently so we don't get confused with that place in Kentucky! ☺
Stories indeed. I guess that was the best year of my life, while I was in the 82nd.

treker

Just got on here. (Seahawks halftime!)
We've got some stories to tell don't we? Ooooeee!
I live in Boise. Where's your home?
And,...MERRY CHRISTMAS to YOU, as well Pat!

patsquire

Wow, well met, brother. I was in the army all of 67-68-69, but only in the 82nd in '68. In late '68 I went to the 1st Inf. Division in Vietnam. Airborne!! I was an August baby in the baby boom, 1946. So I just turned 76. Frankly I never thought I'd make it past 30, so I've been enjoying this long life for a long time! ☺ Merry Christmas Fred! ☺

treker

My dad was a career Army veteran. Met my mother (nurse) in Hawaii, they married, I was conceived and can say I was at Pearl Harbor ( Dec. in utero). I was born 31 March.
I'm 80. I have been to West Point on three occasions. A beautiful place!
I was a artillery surveyor in the 82nd. (served 62-65) Airborne!!

patsquire

Right you are Fred! I taught at West Point in 1968, as a 2nd Lt. in the 82nd Airborne. Pistol shooting and anti-tank rockets. I've loved the place ever since.

One of the announcers today referred to a West Point player as a "junior." That's not what they're called at West Point . . . . they're called "cows."

Plebe - freshman
Yearling - sophomore
Cow - junior
Firstie - senior

treker

Thanks for the heads up on that wonderful ARMY double overtime win!! What a game!
It doesn't get any better than a Double overtime win. YOWSA!!!!

patsquire

There have now been 123 Army/Navy games! Football's oldest rivalry by far! NEVER before today has there been a game that went into OVERTIME!



10 - 10 as time expires.



First play of overtime - - - Army bursts through the line and scores a touchdown!

Second play of overtime - - - Navy throws its ONLY pass of the game. Touchdown!

17 - 17

Double overtime:

Navy drives toward the goal line. From three yards out Navy rushes to the goal line for a touchdown **BUT** Navy FUMBLES and Army recovers. It is the only fumble of the entire game.

Army kicks a field goal and WINS 20 - 17 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

GO ARMY - BEAT NAVY!

patsquire

There wasn't any Spam in the C Rations back then. Maybe there was in the K Rations of WWII and Korea, but that was before my time.

GeorgiaKayaker

@patsquire

Real men eat spam. I would never consider an extended kayak trip without taking spam but confess I haven't had a fried spam sandwich for 3 or 4 months here at home.
I have a large and a small can plus 2 packs of the sliced. Ate "C" rations in Vietnam for 3 years in the late 60s but can't remember having Spam while I was in the Navy

treker

Thanks Janie_Janie!

Janie_Janie

What a splendid idea!
All the best ~

patsquire

For something worth seeing (funny and heartwarming) take a look at this news article out of Alaska:

https://www.aol.com/alaska-firefighters-help-rescue-moose-161417294.html

patsquire

We don't worry about winter here in Tennessee, my friend. It snows a little every year, and everybody panics, but it's no big deal. A couple of years ago we got an inch at Christmas time. Very nice, and it was cold so it stayed for a week. A good supply of chocolate is always a good idea!

treker

I think you're in good shape for winter. (right?)
We are due for our first SNOW tonight. We're ready!
Stocked up on chocolate at Costco this afternoon. Gawd, the place was PACKED to the rafters with shoppers.

patsquire

Two psychiatrists happen to meet on the street. One says, "You're fine, how am I?"

treker

OMG that's a RIOT!

patsquire

That story about your aunt on Thursday reminded me of a Reader's Digest article about peoples' "most embarrassing moments." A young man said he once was on his way to his grandmother's house for the big family Thanksgiving dinner, and he had to call and tell them he'd gotten into a car accident . . . . in the McDonald's drive-thru!

patsquire

That's OK, I'm the same way, and besides it reminds me of a great story. Back in the '70s a man who I later got to know had a summer camp for boys in Wisconsin. He was good friends with a superstar NYC chef. His chef friend confessed that he was about to crumble under the pressure, and asked if he could take the summer off and cook at the camp. Yes! Of course!

That summer the kids ate like kings AND the food budget went way down. The old cook had been inflating the prices and getting kickbacks from the suppliers. One day the chef said he wanted to make liver for supper. My friend said no, the kids don't like liver. The chef said, "They'll like MY liver!" So my friend said OK, but just make enough for everybody and no extra. The next evening the chef knocked on my friend's door and said, "Come with me." In the mess hall all the liver was gone and every kid was lined up for seconds, all the way around the room!

That chef had a great summer and went back to New York rested and reinvigorated. One evening early in the summer he took my friend into his refrigerator. He pointed to one big shelf after another. "This is tomorrow's breakfast, this is lunch, this is supper, and that's the next night's supper." He held up his little finger and with a big smile said, "I got this job in my little finger!"

treker

Yes,...Lucky man indeed!!
The mere mention of liver makes me GAG! I learned early-on NOT to visit an aunt of mine on any Thursday. Why? Thursday was LIVER day!!! I made the mistake of being at her house on a Thursday and gagged for what seemed like hours since that was the fare for the evening. TERRIBLE memory!
It's NEVER been served at my house nor will it ever be.
(Sorry for the tirade.) ;-)

patsquire

By 1967 the Army had phased Spam out. At least I never saw it for three years. The service will make you hungry, though, won't it? I hate liver, loathe the taste, but I gobbled it like it was apple pie one evening when I was "starving." Congratulations on having a long marriage. You're a lucky man.

treker

I had a Spam sandwich in 1962 while out in the boonies (Army) and still can't get the taste out of my brain!
(Married now for 57 years)

patsquire

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I am now. Married with children for 33 1/3 years, bachelor for the last 24 years. You got me pegged. ☺

treker

Are you a bachelor?

patsquire

I had fried Spam sandwiches for supper tonight, a direct result of this joke. ☺

treker

Ewwww,...sounds kinda "mossy" to me! ;-)

patsquire

Fred, I've finally found a modern category into which I fit. I'm a Twinkitarian:

A person who won’t eat anything with a shelf life of less than 100 years.

treker

Good ones Pat!

patsquire

And now the jokes have started in always-irreverent England.

Charles III: GET ME A CUP OF TEA! TWO SUGARS! ASAP!

Servant: [mumbles] Who died and made you king?

NEWS FLASH: The British Royal Post Office has been renamed in honor of the new king. It is now the Charles III Post Office, or C3PO.

treker

I just signed on to Jigidi after a few days away from the computer. The queen was a very busy lady to be sure. Quite a lifetime of service to England and the world.

patsquire

One of my true heroines has died. May she rest in peace, joined once again with her beloved husband Prince Philip. Beginning with Winston Churchill and ending with Liz Truss, whom she installed in office two days ago, Queen Elizabeth II presided over 15 Prime Ministers. That alone tells the story of her longevity, 70 years on the throne.

Charles automatically became King and is already referred to as such. Charles’s wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is now the Queen Consort and is expected to be given the title of Queen Camilla, probably after Charles’s coronation. This is a sad day.

treker

Got it!

patsquire

Only the wallpaper was fake. The fireplace worked great. We used it a lot.

treker

Looked "mahvelus" but didn't provided many btu's, is that what you're sayin'?

patsquire

Back in the '70s we rented an older apartment partly because it had a good brick fireplace/chimney. When we were moving in I leaned against the chimney part AND JUMPED AWAY IN SHOCK! It was wallpaper! The most realistic wallpaper I've ever seen but smooth as can be, no brick texture to it at all. Fooled us both. It was a great fireplace though, and we used it a lot in those Madison, Wisconsin winters.

treker

I think there's a lot of truth in that Pat!

patsquire

Harrison Ford says wood burns faster when you have to cut it yourself.

treker

You're a GREAT Dad!

GeorgiaKayaker

Great idea and nice yard. I give my daughter in Jacksonville Fl a mew fire fit every other year 9 hers has a bottom and they last about 2 years) as one of her many Christmas presents. I also gave her a wood rack one year and guess who gets to cut and split then haul a rack full of oak firewood from Georgia to Florida to keeps it full?

treker

Linda Ellerbe's quote comes to mind- "And so it goes."

patsquire

To me it's a universal military joke. Any army, any war. To them everything is politics.

treker

There you go, messin' with the "powers that be".
You'd better be good or you "won't get your pudding", to quote an old Beatles song.

patsquire

TPTB removed that joke about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. They sent me a warning that it was political! I wonder how many censors they employ to read everybody's comments.

patsquire

I'm glad you can. :-)

treker

Great,... I'm going to enjoy gettin' some "mileage" out of this one!

treker

Thanks Pat,...I'll be grinnin' for the rest of the day!

patsquire

A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "OK pal, I'll serve you, but don't start anything.” ☺

treker

Yeah, it's been a fun place to sit around and "yak"!
