There are new adventures coming your way, and what better way to enjoy them is with your best friend, your Wife.

I was in Sydney and Brisbane back in June/July 1964 with the U.S. Navy when I was on a Destroyer.
A little shortcut from Yokouska, Japan to San Diego, Ca. The Sydney Opera house was just in the begining stages of being erected.

There is a picture of our ship with the arched bridge and the opera House in the back ground.

You know there is a ritual you will have to go through when crossing the line. you will have to meet King Neptune and his Royal Court.
This is the initiation of becoming a Shell Back from being a Pollywog.

we`ll be looking to hear about your forth coming adventures.

Charlie
Thank so much Charlie!
Yes it will be definitely a big change.I think I might buy myself a straw hat and a smoking pipe with my favorite rocking chair and just sit back and relax and enjoy the rest of my life with our youngest daughter and my best friend (my wife).
On the other hand I need to fix a few oil leaks my old Unimog has.Its been parked in the barn for several years and now it needs some TLC!!
It still starts on the first turn of the key but I need it to last a few more years,and complete the fence rebuilding around the acreage on the farm.
So yes life is good and now I can say its been a full circle.
Cheers Charlie and everyone else!
I will of course keep in touch with you all from down under very soon.

If at first you don't succeed,
Skydiving is not for you.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS NO
MATCH FOR NATURAL STUPIDITY.

If anything can go wrong,fix it!
The hell with Murphy!!

I never think of the future.It comes soon enough.
