Here’s the next installment of Arlo’s technology rant. I’m staging my own mini-protest against digital tyranny by cutting short today’s commentary in favor of a hands-on project involving wood and sharp blades. Don’t take it personally! I did update the page, and those ideas about a new Web page that I discussed months ago are still percolating in the old noggin. Those are the speeds of the creative mind: slow and stop—my creative mind anyway. One of the phrases I hear most often are, “I didn’t think you’d ever really get around to doing it!” How about that? The commentary ended up not being so short after all.

Steel drums were often used for quite a different sanitary purpose in ‘Nam. As sand, well knows.
Lily, sounds like you’d work up enough of a sweat preparing the shower that you’d need a shower afterwards even if you didn’t before.
Jackie, Jimmy hasn’t mentioned Super Truck lately, but I’d be very surprised and disappointed to learn it’s not still running.
They were set afire every morning. Depending on timing you could end up on the hot seat. 😉
Yeah, Ghost, but I’m a runner, sweat doesn’t bother me. Especially if I am about to take a shower anyway.The main thing was to get the salt out of my hair and it did real well at that. Then I would run into my (heavily curtained) bedroom, kicking off my muddy clogs at the back door, and quickly towel off and dress for dinner. My poor clogs, they were such a mess when we left I just left them at the back door.

Then I found a link that had his quotes from the movie….love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The gremlins got loose again at the hen houses yesterday…still no sign of the Boss man, county fair going on and he has horses, barrel racing I believe.
Gotta go…..
Ya’ll have a blessed day
Sandcastler…in one of the Vietnam movies, they actually showed that being done…don’t recall which movie though.
Debbe, I dont recall the movie either, I was cast in the road show.
This should be, but isn’t, hard to believe:

Good morning, Villagers. Nice cool spell has hit us, Praise the Lord!
Jackie,
Really glad it was diesel and not gasoline! Still waiting on the mechanic’s verdict, but I think it must be on the low pressure side, probably around a filter or somewhere. Glad your friends were OK!
Worst sailboat sinking I personally know was a beautiful prototype boat called the Sundowner designed and co-built by a good friend of mine. It left on a highly publicized round the world voyage and barely got to sea when the diesel tanks somehow came loose and began to leak into bilge and then into cabin of boat. Fumes seems to have knocked out the owner/sailor who let boat crash into rocks of cliff but managed to revive and get off. He was rescued but boat ended in smashed splinters. This also qualifies as one of most bizarre sinkings as owner put in tanks himself?
There are finally new Sundowners being built, it is one of the most beautiful of new modern wooden boats. A lot like the Flicka, a classic beauty.
I miss Galveston Bay and Galveston a lot I guess!
Love, Jackie Monies
