Sgt. Pepper

I had Pusser's in Tortola. It is vile. I liked Appleton from Jamaica. I lived in Puerto Rico for 2 years while in the Coast Guard. Had rum form all over the islands. Don Q from P R is good stuff. Bacardi is not. I took the factory tour of Bacardi ever time someone visited me in P R. Pusser's Bar in Road Town, Tortola makes a drink called a Painkiller and it has rum in it, or more rum in it, or even more rum that more rum in it. Hence the name. A few of those and watch out.

There is a doc about Dio coming out soon.

I was in sea going services so instead of flying I sailed. I did all the things sailors gets accused of doing. I was young, dumb and well you know the rest. Now I’m 56 and still dumb, but with a different job. Love me some bourbon. Scotch and vodka too. Gin is for the real alcoholics. I’m part time.

You are right. Its got to be one of the toughest jobs on the planet. We take them for granted until we need/want them, and when we do we want them at the scene NOW.

I think the Sarge should stick his big toe in your . . . (see what I did, I saw Stripes too). Cops, their bad until you need them huh? In my daily life I interact with cops almost never. I guess cause I'm not out doing bad stuff to warrants interaction.

I could do that, but so many people conceal carry here I would rather not get a gun pointed at me. I still don't understand the confusion, and if you are type word and ask me explain it better. I think you live in Texas, but no I have no clue? South Cacalaci?

Not here in SC. Idiots drive golf carts on major roads and divided hiway's when its posted everywhere its illegal. The cops do nothing. I saw a guy on a divided hiway the other day in a Daihatsu if you know what they are. We had one in Hawaii for our Electrical Shop vehicle. Totally not road legal.

The Rio Grande's website is gone from the net. I heard (can't confirm) the owner passed away and they must have folded. Too bad they make good pups. I used them a lot on Tele's, Strat's, LP's, and SG's when I had amps and guitars that plugged in.

Remember those 2 seats with no seat belt of course in the back of the Subaru Brat?

If its good enough for cabinets, it must be good enough for guitars. Wait they only did it cause they had to and don't anymore. Martin does it on thier Mex stuff to cut cost. I hope it not on USA Martins. Mine have ebony boards.

I remembered at all the family gatherings, all the adults were drunk as hell. We would of course sneak what we could. I got so sick sneaking sips off Cutty Sark. I never want to see a bottle of that ever again.

How did my generation drink from a garden hose and not come home till the street lights were on and survive?

Words are hard that’s why during the riots recently they threw bricks and thought that would solve anything, except pissing the cops off more. I think cops have more weapons at their disposal than the rioters. Any of those idiots that got their head bounced off the top of the squad car before being put in the back seat after being arrested deserved it.

We all would.

The ones I had I used the peddles and didn't push them, unless I got a flat.

I would not want to be in during V N. My father in law was and never talked about it. I don't blame him. He took to drink to self medicate. That was his generations drug of choice.

Dear Confused, What are you confused about, and why can't you type actual words instead of dumb symbols to represent how you feel. Your probably off making a Tik Tok video. Signed The Sarge.

You served to if I'm not mistaken. I always hated being thanked for it . I joined the service for me and no one else. I needed to get my life together and that is what I did. Got paid, traveled the world, and learned a trade. And had a smile on my face you couldn't chisel off when in places like the Philippines and Thailand.

Sure, Gibson is sending them out to all who answered at this moment.

When in the military I never did anything risky at all. Once I floated around on my Navy ship in the Persian Gulf when we had to go over and fight this guy named Sodomy Insane. 6 months of my life I can't get back. But hey I got to go to Thailand before and after the war.

I almost went to my step son’s funeral due to junk. He shot up drove about a quarter mile and passed out driving. Luckily he drove into a open field and someone saw him and called the cops. I hate that trash.

My cousin in Michigan sent me a copy of the self titled Hard Working Americans album on cd. Damn good. It got here on Sunday.

Have you ever heard Consequences. It is an absolute mess. I can't believe they left 10cc to go do that. Can you imagine being a record company exec and being handed that and expect to promote or sell it? I had Original Soundtrack ages ago. That one is good. I'll probably get the first 4. I have Bloody Tourists on vinyl. I don't like reggae - I love it.
