Oh, the memories. Yukon Stove. Burned MOGAS or Diesel if I'm not mistaken. Was once near a soldier who suffered an epileptic seizure and kicked lit stove over out at Graf. Thank heavens we placed fire extinguishers nearby or burned down tent. SOP back then.

Set up by Bad Hersfeld near East-West German border one winter . Heh, I listened to my SW radio lots during down time when not patrolling. Stove kept everybody warm as temps hit zero. Ha ha, built a bobsled run. Dude broke his leg sliding downhill about 60 MPH.

Only in the Army, I tell you.

I loved the sound of the Yukon stove when it was humming. Alaska was the only place I have ever been where you lay the howitzer after setting up your tent and stove. Normally, the first thing you do is lay the howitzer for the direction of fire first. But, in the winter, it was so cold that we had to set up the tents and fire up the Yukon stove so that if anyone felt early signs of frostbite coming on, they would go to the tent to warm up and then come back out and help finish emplacing (lay) the howitzer.

I got frostbite 3x over there. All while running ranges.

Good morning everyone

Game Day! I think this game is important. We need some energy/effort back and if we don't see it this game I believe it's over for the year. I predict we'll see it. Oh, saw where Pope took the seniors out to eat, but Kerr was not with them. So, red shirt this year and back next? I think so after that pic. I really think this team missed his energy and effort after he went out. He may have been a more important piece than we give him credit.

Long day yesterday driving, working at the lake, driving back. Not much on tap today except wife has some plans. I've been so busy I'm not sure what they are....going to town to get little projects done. Then I'll watch the game while she has a bible study meeting.

Enjoy your day.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F and cloudy. Winds kicking up. Severe fire risk. Possibility for thunderstorms.

Dell fixed my laptop. Too awesome.

Chemo today.

Wishing y'all another good one.

I absolutely love pound cake.
