Happy New Year

Posted by Yabu at 03:16 PM
Many many years ago we used to get dressed up on New Years Eve, but we always got lucky…can you believe that shit. All we cared about was the Good Thing. Hahahahaha!!! Y’all be careful tonight, it’s amateur night. I hope you get lucky…and get a ride home if you need it.

The Dragon And His Tail

Posted by Yabu at 09:16 AM
Pretty cool Nose Art, eh? This B-24 Liberator which served in in the Pacific during WWII came to Knoxville, TN when I was shacked up with the Juju Woman there. I was able to board and take a look see. Very interesting. I was also offered a ride, but it was kinda pricey. I regret [...]

Weird and Fond Memories

Posted by Yabu at 08:59 AM
I was cleaning out some drawers and found these old photos. Scanned ‘em. This is a shot I took of the USS Cincinnati, SSN693, a Los Angeles class, nuclear-powered fast attack submarine. Back in the mid eighties I had some extra folding money (big bonus), so I decided to take my mother and my aunt down to [...]

Daytona Beach Trip

Posted by Yabu at 12:41 PM
Back when I was too young to drive, My friends mother drove a bunch of us to Daytona Beach for “spring break”, in a big ass station wagon. We were packed like sardines. It was a long drive, about 15 hours, and we did it in one hop. We were smoking. We arrive, check [...]

White Men CAN Jump

Posted by Yabu at 08:24 AM
I can tell you one thing for certain…knees and oyster beds don’t mix. Don’t mix at all. I was at the beach, and me and my friends were walking to a nice “dog friendly” restaurant in the early evening. Nice place, you can sit outside and they bring bowls of water for the dogs, also, [...]

Hot And Cold

Posted by Yabu at 12:11 PM
I’ve been hot before, and I’ve been cold before. I’ll start with Hot: I hiked from the rim of the Grand Canyon to the river, and back up in about a day and a half…in AUG. That was hot. I’ve also been in a Central American jungle in AUG. That was hot…humidity hot. Felt like I was [...]

Pick Pockets

Posted by Yabu at 12:03 AM
I’ve never carried a wallet, except when I was a young boy when it was cool to have a rubber imprint in it. At that age, I was very fashion conscious. I’ve known a couple of people who’ve had their wallets lifted from their back trouser pocket. They never knew, or felt the swipe. So, I’ve always [...]

Jumping Trains

Posted by Yabu at 12:03 AM
When I was growing up…me and my gang use to jump trains for kicks. We had a rail line that ran from the other side of the hill to who knew where. I missed a few…got aboard most…never fell onto the tracks under the wheels…but I consider myself lucky. So, we jumped a slow moving one, [...]

Horses Ass

Posted by Yabu at 12:03 AM
I never knew… When you see a space shuttle sitting on the launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are the solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Morton Thiokol at a factory in Utah. Originally, the engineers who designed the SRBs wanted to [...]
