    We got 1 1/4" of rain in just few hours time. The yard has limb and leaf debris all over it like a tropical storm came through.

      RE: Frogman..
      A for real underwater Troop who spent his tours in Vietnam in the water swimming. Great job except for those mines he had to defuse. Frogman has a few houses and I never know which one he is at? He was having serious problems with his eyesight and it hindered his ability to come over and visit here.
      Let me see if I can track him down. I think I have his sons number still I will make some calls..

        ah shit that sucks. but you can still make it if you don't see well. Give him my regards.
        Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.

            It was great to hang around RTO and 4TH .
            These men are the Real Deal from the Bad Bush
            in Vietnam . Bad To The Bone.

            FROGMAN was different .
            He was the original UDT bad asses that became
            The Navy SEAL's . FROGMAN was a rough customer .
            They were all great to be around.

            Jamie doesn't like bugs or critters .
            She is extremely fearful
            She was fishing off of 4TH's dock in snake
            and gator infested waters with FROGMAN .

            Then she put on a life preserver and went for a
            swamp ride in 4TH's boat like we were on Swamp People .

            This was about 5 life times out of Jamie's element..
            She required a few cans of liquid courage with
            RTO and 4TH for these activities . 🫣🀣

            Journey well ,
            MERC

              Frogman will get pissed if I speak of his military adventures but he will get over it. πŸ˜†
              Technically he was not a SEAL having gone through BUDs course. But he must have been doing something right during his tours in Nam. Richard Marchenko that bad to the bone creator of SEAL team 6 somehow took notice of our Frog. He scooped him up put him through some training course. Not sure of the exact details sorry.
              So he worked with the SEALs doing what I don't know he never said. He told me of some wild party's with those guys and I can only imagine what they were like. πŸ˜‰ He is my buddy and for sure a guy you want on your side if their is problems.
