-1st exposure to meth.
-1st whiff of Fentanyl.

No 8track unlike MACS who sailed the Ocean Blue, I went to Store Keeper (SK) in Newport Rhode Island, upon completion of training was stationed at the US Naval Submarine Base, New London/Groton Connecticut on Submarine Staff for 2years. Then drove across the bridge and reported to the USS Fulton a Submarine tender for duty. Unlike Mackie my total time at sea was a whopping 14 days. This was a trip to Puerto Rico for Operation Springboard. Very enjoyable time here, with many nights spent at the Lucky Seven Club, paying for entertainment with the lovely ladies that seem to always be hanging around the bar & wanted to talk and mmmmmmm( you know what I mean($10&$5)  Was discharged January 1970 has the Navy had an early out program in affect at this time. Should be noted while I was stationed at the base & the Fulton, I started working parttime for Sunset Custodial Services as a janitor and was paid the whopping rate of $1.65 per hour. I still have a copy of my first paycheck stub. A company (Atlantic Maintenance out of NJ ) took over the contract and I started working for them and eventually became the account manger. Making more $$$ in one month that I made in the Navy. After the service I continued working with Atlantic Maintenace for a number of years. During which I purchased by 69 Ford Torino with the 4 on the floor great car. So that sums it. |

Well, I finally had AAA take the Vette into the shpo where they had a lift. The antifreeze leak turned out to be a pinched heater hose between the a/c bracket and the upper control arm. $270 including new antifreeze and I'm back in business. |

Not to much damage $ wise. Been a AAA member since 16 when I started driving. |

My experience with AAA is they promise someone's on the way but then leave you waiting for 6-8 hours until they admit nobody's coming and you're on your own. |

Today was the last day of kindergarden for my oldest. Dang, I just dropped her off on her first day... SLOW DOWN!!! Do not worry about that. You cannot control it. Just make certain to spend quality time with your kids every single day no matter what and enrich them to the greatest extent possible- as much as possible- and you should not have any regret. YMMV. |
| 47. Author: delta1 | Date: Fri, 5/26/2023, 7:37PM EST | |
does "enrich" include getting a pony?
May 26, 1966...I was finishing up 7th grade...and I can't think of a single significant event for me on that date in all my years...pretty sure I got laid on the date at least once or twice, but I don't remember... |

Did alot of ride alongs with Dad back in high school.. he was Sargent Detective of the sheriff's department.. he progressed into some much higher roles with the BIA but cruising with him was cool.. My stepbrothers and one of my brothers got to play kidnappers on a SWAT training drill once.. Talk about intense.. we actually got away thru a crawlspace in the floor and out the side of the house.. they were pissed... Dad said we were pretty good bad guys...  |

That would be fun, if it would end right. One officer said on their first taser use in the wild, one prong went into a guys chest. The other caught him in the … stick. |
