What a thrill it was to see you posting again!
You have been sorely missed
New and old we enjoyed them all.
Your stickies always kept up chuckling
We never even minded when you picked on us
You surprised us all by playing in this weeks photo challenge
And then showed us this extraordinary wink
And then we learned a little more about you
(In his own words)
Hi All..
Back in my younger days when I was in the Navy. I was stationed aboard the Air Craft carrier, USS Oriskany.. I used to stand what they called Smoke watch, up a top of the smoke stacks. As some of you probably know, the USS ORiskany was stripped and sunk of the coast of Florida for a fish Habitat, etc, back in 2007 Fortunately I have some 35 mm photos of Me when I was in Boot Camp, So I created this little animation whith a photo of Me standing Smoke Watch up at the smoke stacks. The reason for smoke watch, was when aircraft operations were practicing take offs and landing. Irf the boiler rooms procuced too much smoke, It was my Job to notify which boiler room that was procucing the smoke because it was too hard for the pilots to see the ship thru the Smoke.Jsust a little added note: John Mc cain was flying off of the ORISKANY when he was shot down in VIet Nam. To this day I return to the Oriskany often and stand Smoke Watch. I can hold my breath for a long time
Ta Ta All..
