Greetings and Salutations!
Sooooo many things…
First off, MANY thanks for the kind commentary on my helping out with Miss Daisy… she really <\/strong>appreciated all the kind words and whatnot as well, as she IS a reader here. Also… in response to the questions of the “Players” in this here place, even tho JimmyPX had a pretty good grasp on it, allow me to elucidate y’all a bit.

SAPPER<\/strong>: My bro. My strong right hand, my torpedo. AKA “The Gray Man” as he’s so innocuous and blends in to any and all crowds. A former combat engineer, he did a full 4 year tour before I met him, mostly in Korea. Great guy. SOLID<\/strong>is the best term and someone I’d take a fatal round for. He got ‘voluntold’ that he’d be babysitting me when my first divorce happened as the rest of my frens were terrified<\/strong> that I’d go loco and decide to go ‘operational’… not afraid for me <\/strong>per se, but that I’d have done a lot of bad things<\/strong> before I got stopped… he’s good like that.

MISS DAISY<\/strong>: 92 years old… Originally one of Gretchen’s former BF’s mom. Nice guy… I met him as they had stayed ‘cool’ so to speak… He unfortunately died (as did his brother and father, all before Age 55… bad ticker syndrome) and she stayed close to her. I also have, and since I haven’t really got a fam anymore I’ve spend moar than a few holly-daze doing what I did this past T-Day.

DC<\/strong>: DumbC*nt. Simple as that. Gretchen’s millennial daughter. Lost custody of….

THE GRANS<\/strong>: There’s two. Addy and the RedHeaded Nukular Firecracker. BOTH are awesome<\/strong>. We fought to get custody of Addy after the whole shitshow w\/DC Totalling my truck. Either way, Addy is doing great<\/strong> and whelp, the RedHead is awesome as well…

DEADDAD and MOMUNIT<\/strong>: Self explanatory. My ‘rents.

SPAWN #1 and #2<\/strong>: My kids, pretty much permanently estranged (bummer that one). One (Boy) is doing great as far as I know, and the other is…. well not sure… she said she was trans last I heard… no idea… I compartmentalize it… easier that way emotionally speaking….

STELLA THE SAUSAGE PRINCESS AND THE RED HOT CHILI PUPPER<\/strong>: My doggos. AWESOME doesn’t begin to describe them.

RANGER J<\/strong>: My bro from Iraq. Former Ranger. Just had his #1 Spawn (a son) making me and Sapper Funkle(s).

I think that covers it for the cast of characters around here.
There may be others occasionally mentioned, but for now, that’s about it.
Now
New News.
Curse Cyber Monday!!!<\/strong>
I’m off and out for another adventure.
This time to Mexico.
Progreso and Cozumel to be exact.
I mean why the Hell not?
So far, just to make a list, I’ve been to (in the past 45 days) by my count:

Georgia
South Carolina
North Carolina
Tennessee
Arkansas
Mississippi
Louisiana
Texas
California
The Bahamas
and now? Add Mex-Hi-Co to the list.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

So if I’m out of comms, you know why.
I leave at 1400 tomorrow.
I mean why the fuck not amiright?

Part of the reason is I got the COLA bump on my retirement which is helping defray the cost, and also, I’ve never been to Cozumel, so why the fuck not? As the man once said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who am I to say otherwise?
So More Later
Big Country<\/p>\n\n\n\n
