Great old songs

[sunapeeboater]

Robby and Bushwacker my hat is off to you guys. Thankful for what you guys did and thankful you both made it home. That was an awful war and not such a great homecoming for the troops. I get scared just watching movies about it. You guys are true American heros.

About 7 years ago I was living on my boat at a floating bar. I would bartend sometimes when the owner needed someone. One day a guy and his wife stopped in for a drink and it turned out they were driving one of the Vietnam Memorial walls around the country. They asked me where there was a good place to eat on the river and I told them "my boat" I made them t-bone steaks,potatoes,the whole works. A few weeks later they sent me a huge POW-MIA flag in the mail. Cool people.

Yes guys we owe you a BIG THANK YOU!!!! and much more than that....


Well guys, ya know when they say GOD works in mysterious ways...believe it!!!! I can't even go into explaining this just trust me...for whatever reason in my head today and last night I kept having a thought to fix two tiles that were missing behind my dryer, WHY, I have NO IDEA, after doing some more work on my kitchen, I went to the Home Depot to buy the tiles. I come home and pull the dryer out and start fixing the floor but I felt cold air a steady flow of really COLD air, and I kept saying WTF is going on, I pulled up the old caulking around the gas pipe and re caulked but still felt this cold air and I said something is not right. So then I decided to put dish detergent around the connections on the gas line, but didn't see any bubbles but still felt the air and low and behold I found it, a steady stream of cold gas coming out of the connection from the dryer to the gas line ...holy s hit, I had a MAJOR natural gas leak directly in my house...I have no sense of smell because of allergies so I couldn't smell it. I called my dad up and he came right over (I had already turned off the gas value) he said he smelled the gas before he even came in the house . Who knows how long this has been going on, I guess it was a matter of time before the house would have blown up or I was dead from gas poisioning...to be honest I haven't been feeling great the past couple of weeks, very fatigued and a lot of headaches and I never get headaches. So when they say that God works in mysterious ways, believe it!!! I am sure that somewhere along the line Phil was watching over me too. I don't know why I decided to fix those tiles but since last night it was on my mind. This could have really been a major catastrophe. I just looked up and said Thank You.

Should we continue the Nam stuff we are on? I'm loving every second of it...feels good to after 40 years, let that junk ya stuffed way deep down, in yer soul, as few would understand..and now..."let it out, its over". Got a few vids coming, and I been at this all day, dragging up stuff, long ago...but it happened, its real, and no need to thank any Nam Vet..(but VERY appreciated!)

But we got a damn fast lesson in life, as just kids, and aint no freaking "school/booking"..can make ya learn .."the real world"..FAST, with no TV, no phone, ****ting in buckets, forget what a freaking "stoplight" looks like.

I was scared to death one night. Dude comes in.."ya got a radio'phone call". Well, then if you got ANY call, its was some immediate family, who died, and if a significant other, and you were outta there in, and home 36 hours tops...(thanks flyboys..the flying back, the grieving living, or the mass body bags, in the back)

Well, turns out a radio call, from a crazy friend, grew up with, both in Nam, and he's in communications, about 60 miles north me, in Chu Lai.

That SOB...'Hey, its George..(we called him "the "bubes, or Booby..have no idea why..kid thing..we all get nick names)...how ya doing? I just got here!

Basically the SOB cracked me up with that call..only phone call I ever got there..thank God.

ANYWAY..few vids to follow.

This is a Guntruck vid, with music, never heard..(but ya know the words)
