Today is the 70th anniversary of japaneese attack on pearl harbor. Alot going on in the world, but I will take a minute and say a thank you to my grandfather who was in the attack, and fought the japaneese for 4 years. Thanks grandpa.

deer was hung last night, ct and wrapped today.

The words "absolute victory" probably had more of an impact than we will ever understand. These two words became a rallying point for both the US and Japan. I've often wondered if FDR had know how powerful these words were going to be, would he still have spoken them? Regardless, this terrible day really did awaken a "sleeping giant" and turn a nation of unprepared pacifists into the one heck of an effective fighting force. It is because of my neighbor, a B-17 Copilot who was shot down over Germany while flying his 9th bombing mission in 1943, that I decided to dedicate a good portion of my adult life to serving this fine nation. Seemed like the least I could do to honor the sacrifice of all the men and women who had served before me.

Watched a news report this morning.. They guy was 17 and in the crows nest on the New Orleans. After 70 years he's gonna make the trip back . I love talking to the old guys and listening to the stories they have to tell

Started with a breakfast of blueberry pancakes and bacon with a nice blend of coffee from Brazil and Ethiopia in the Aiden brewer. After that I cleaned up the dishes and scraped some hard water stains off the dogs' water bowl. I then applied some iron-on blank patches to my jean jacket and heavy coat to cover the holes that the hell mutt created when chewing on them. Finished up with putting a new tag on my Wife's license plate.
