BUSDRVR - glad you are getting some meds for your ailment! Gettin' ol' ain't fer sissy's! (Not that you are gettin old, dude!!!)

Today is Friday. Now that means all you ol' farts need to post a picture. I don't have one with me in it here at work, but I found one some of you might be interested in....... This is the U.S.S. Blue - DD744. I served on the Blue from summer of '69 thru late '70. During Nam. We never took the Blue to Nam. The Blue was refit after the Korean conflict as an anti-submarine warfare type ship. So, we spent our time patroling the Pacific looking for foreign subs that might have evil intent. We located a few, and stayed on their tail till we were sure they headed home. Somewhere in the 90's I believe the Blue was de-commissioned. As such they probably used it for target practice and she sleeps in the deep.
