WE are out to lunch or something

This site will be silent for a few days. We are going on a CIVILIAN CRUISE. I want to see if it is more fun or better food than the great War Ships, I love so much.
So, will I have fun? You can bet your bippie. I AIN’T never had a girl aboard ship over night and in the same compartment!!! I am used to sleeping with 20 or 30 guys around, This is going to be fun.

Not taking the lap top even. Ever heard of MARS? No, not the planet. This is Military Affiliated Radio Stations. Ham radio. Some ships had or have a MARS room, where if you were lucky you could get a phone patch via Ham radio to your family back home. Everyone had to get used to the one-way communications by using the radio terms over, out, etc. That was long before CB radios so most folks were not familiar with the use of the radio terms. Also there was no privacy, everyone knew what was said. Lot of interesting stories there, when folks on the other end did not know everyone in the radio shack was listening. But it was our only means of voice communications. Now with cell phones, internet, etc. communications are no longer a problem.

Anyway to a lot of folks cruises are old hat. I am looking forward to my first, at 70.
I will have a lot of catching up to do on our return.(not to mention the catching up to do aboard ship)

We are meeting Don & Evelyn great friends from home at ‘Corky Bells’ for lunch. D & E live on that side of Florida in the winter. Will be good to see them.

Merry Christmas everyone!
