NO :knuppel2:

I live on a small dead-end street.  Our house was built in 1730 and set on a small upraise (locals call it a hill here).  Normally you have to come up the driveway to get to the walkway - not the kids - jump up on the wall and come across the lawn. I worry about everyone of those kids jumping up on the wall - one day someone will fall...

But we did put up our first Christmas decoration today...

Halloween is a love hate type thing with me. Me and my wife and my little brother Senjin went out to the Castle and screamed like little girls. Everyone we seen in normal public said out costumes/clothes were awesome. Then I had to say, "This is my everyday clothes." ???

I thought Sara was going to go into labor from screaming so much though.  :2funny: Senjin screamed worse too.

Then we came back and blared load music and played along with it. A nice evening....

Didn't get a single piece of candy though.

But did you get candy?
Wait, your at OSU....

To quote Willy Wonka then, "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker."  ;D

How many scares did you get?

I encountered another Batfish vet yesterday.  He was also a TM.  I am beginning to think that the Torpedo Rooms were the center of all the "unofficial liberties" that occured on the boat. 

Just a theory.

Hey John, this gives me an idea for our project.

I only got one really good scare, the rest people just kinda looked at me weird.

TM's NEVER do anything wrong :2funny:
nor would we have an "unoffical" establishment where beverages may or may not have been partaken knowing that those kinds of beverages were not supposed to be onboard ;)    While on the Hono we didn't honestly partake in having booze in the Torpedo Room (that I know about) but we have been known to do that topside with the TMCS while painting the boat.

On fleet boats - TM's drank just a bit - but not has bad as the EM's. For some reason they were always "cleaning" electrical equipment. We just had nicer decantors - "torpedos."

And quite large decantors at that 8)   that and the old man would authorize a nice drink after a trip into the water to retrieve one of our decantors, little did he know that we had to verify the tank was completely empty before we refilled it and made the weapon ready for service once more :2funny:
