Sounds like you'll give it up soon. The only reason to golf is to
socialize, and fool yourself that you're getting good exercise.
You can socialize at the corner bar with a better class of people,
know with certainty you're not exercising, and get a buzz to boot.

The Special Forces guys at Bien Hoa had pretty good coffee also. They put
on a fine breakfast in that club of theirs.


That was the club over on the 101st base right? Let me think, just
north of Bein Hoa City right over the hill from the long runway? Had
a 105 howitzer fire base attached to it?

We spent a night there after we were released from the air base - good
time if it was the same place.

They had a house band from the Philippines that did cover tunes - damn
they were good.

The Navy EM club at Cam Rahn Bay over by where the Swifts docked was a
great place too. Those Swifties knew how to party I'll tell you what.

Oh - 0h - I feel some war stories coming on.

Better quite while I'm ahead. :)



I'm not a coffee aficionado. I've enjoyed any of the bolder Starbucks
varieties, but I'd never go pay $20 a pound or more for coffee.


I actually quite coffee quite a number of years ago. Unless you
consider a Coffee Coolata or coffee ice cream "coffee".


I bet a lot of your war stories would be interesting.
If Canada had been in that war...I would have been the right age.
I turned 18 in 1967...just before things turned to rat****.


Born in '49? It was a very good crop that year.

Always wished mom had held off another 4.5 months. Then I would have
been born in the 50s...not nearly so ancient sounding as the 40s.

Don, I think Chuck was inferring that Harry *had* a lobster boat,

I think I'd be willing to bet a 'toonie' on that one.
Me right...you wrong!

today, Chuck proved me right.

Don, I'd bet you a pocketfull of 'toonies' that Chuck would fly out here
and do a write up of the lobsta boat, if Harry could convince him that it
existed.

I know Harry's like a brother to you, and all, but...



Our sheriff is again stirring the pot..............and he wants a NG without
friction or confrontation.

Just another hypocrite.


I know... he's playin' me now.
More trouble than it's worth to collect my $2.00

From what I heard, that fire base support weren't the brightest bunch
in the world. As I heard it, they got into two or three fire
suppression battles with one of their own fire bases somewhere in the
Central Highlands.

Maybe it was the beer. :)

Oh yeah! the 'friendly fire' trick.
We have learned about that real good.

What's considered a 'senior' stateside?
60 or 65?


62, usually.

The AARP gives you a card at 50.

Wait! I know just where to turn to find it: rec.boast

Ok JohnH. I think you owe me a toonie.
I will accept two of your 'merican bucks... if you send them before
they devalue any further.
Two dollars will buy you a cupa at Mickey D's.

Poor Chuck. He's become his own protest.
If you are a senior at Micky D's, the cost is $0.27 to $0.54
Yup, $0.25 plus tax here. But, as the coffee tastes like crap, it gets
thrown out and the money was wasted anyway.

Their new stuff, bolder, tastes like stronger crap.
7-11 coffee makes me pee, McD's coffee doesn't.

Some Mickey D are normally Decaf. Have to ask for the regular coffee.
Caffeine is a diuretic.



Hmmm....I'll have to get a cup of both next time I fill up at the
BP/Quickie Mart/McDonald's.

Ok. so how'd you do on the front nine?

54, with a 57 on the back. There's a pond on the back whose level rose
about three inches when I got to it.


Where did you play?

I've heard several folks imply there's no exercise value in golf. If not,
then why am I tired after walking 18 holes?

Twin Lakes, the Lake Side, out in Centreville. Beautiful course and few
