Even better. Didn't you say Budapest was one of your destinations, or am I confusing you with another DBR poster? If so feel free to message me for recommendations. I went back in May and had lots of fun

Budapest is on the list! Should be there for 3 days.

Greece - 2 weeks
Spain - 1 week
Hungary - 3 days
Croatia - 2.5 days
Czech Republic - 2.5 days
Germany - 1 week

Combination of work and leisure. Which makes packing a pain. Good problem to have.

Try some WD-40

Shrimp n’ grits, chill morning. Whew.

Rained most of the day...sigh. Saved me a couple hours watering trees and shrubs.

And you didn’t have to drink all of that water either

Today is National Navajo Code Talkers Day. I'm still amazed by these men. They had been punished if they spoke their native language when they were children but then joined the Marines to use their native language to serve our country. They did this in secrecy - they weren't allowed to talk about what they did as the program was classified. It became declassified in 1968. President Reagan set aside August 14th as a day to recognize and honor them in 1982.

I have had the privilege of meeting and hearing Sam Sandoval speak twice. He is one of the last 10 living code talkers from WWII. The code was never cracked.

Thank you to all of the code talkers and their families for their service and sacrifice.

Here is a link to some facts about the code talkers: https://www.history.navy.mil/researc...e-talkers.html

I'm not the codebreaker I uses to be.

Starting the engine tonight!

Don’t forget your dip-stick

Sadly, all I got was the smell of burning wires. I need to rip out the jumble of wires that is in there now(likely the original harness from 1970) and install a new one

I believe that today is National Tell a Joke Day.
