OK, I looked. I don't see ANY non-static CD units. Quite an oversight if you ask me.

I brame Tojo.

What if we brought down a heavy arty unit with 28cn guns to Lord Howe, would that do any good?

The recombined Hong Kong CD unit is mobile, but restricted to the Asian landmass.

In scenario 2, several Naval guard units can be recombined. These have some (limited) CD functionality.

If you just took half the money being spent on this crap and the literally MILLIONS of man hours wasted by doctors learning ho to use the crap, they could have funded a caravan of 100 tour buses full of doctors and xray techs and the like to tour the country seeing everyone without health insurance for free AND have about 20 In-and-Out trucks cooking up free burgers for everyone...and free BMI charts for the South[:D].

Just think how much gin such a caravan would require though. [X(]

Stalker Girl just called me. It seems Pocahantas Girl is parked in our driveway hiding from her pool guy.


This is the one she let hose her down but discovered his hose was inadequate so she is hiding from him. [:D][:D][:D]

Japan-mens predict when Arried-mens get panicked radio carr from Angrican priest or Postmaster Generarh on Norfork Isrand they rike..."Hory crap! New Zearand next!"

Will Japan-men have terrier TFs to catch rats freeing NZ?

The main obstacle to the continued use of the carriers is not fuel but ordnance (especially torps). I suspect they will have to go to Truk to rearm and, as already pointed out, it is becoming increasingly dangerous to operate as separate carrier divisions. Most likely, rats leaving New Zealand will survive to tell their grandkids

New (and improved) Caledonia or Suva would be a nice refueling / rearmament station for KB's wanderings to the south. Will you remind us of their status on the chopping block?

All the wasted money could easily fund a 777 full of Hendricks and olives at every decent sized airport along the way.

Almost makes me wish I were a physician. Almost...

Noumea should fall in 2 days but is only a level 2 port. Nadi should fall tomorrow but it might take 8-10d to take Suva because we have to assemble, then march in. Suva is level 3.
Rabaul is level 3 with no naval support but does have an AD.

FYI, Kwajalean with a level 3 port and 90 naval support will NOT reload aerial torps. The BB's will also have to go back to Truk to be rearmed.

This is the one she let hose her down but discovered his hose was inadequate so she is hiding from him. [:D][:D][:D]

How vast is her pool if the pool guy's hose is inadequate to clean the sides and/or bottom?

Now, clearly, that is a trap you have set, because, if I could accurately answer that I would have some 'splaining to do.

Even so, we can assemble the knowable data....3 kids....not sure about episiotomies or "husand's stiches"...not sure about Kagel exercises. Most likely somewhat accomodative.

Hmmm .. not much EBP literature either to fall back on

If it was a hose and not a pole I can understand why she was hiding from him. And to answer the question, it is not the size of the pole, it is whether you know how to use it.

And yes, I am a pool guy ;] Probably could do a helluva better job on both her and the pool.

While waiting to go on active duty after graduating from college, I worked at a Leslie's pool store. What I learned in those few months was to never own a home with a pool. And the lessons I learned did not include any about female family members being satisfied, or dissatisfied, with how pool service technicians manipulate their hoses or poles.

I have been working on my outdoor built-in-BBQ/Life misery correlation theory for some time. I am pretty sure it also applies to reflecting pools.


Now, a swimming pool can certainly be fun but perhaps it isn't such a good idea either. In the case of PG the same inference might be drawn regading lawn care or even a personal trainer or process server.

I think it was Franklin who said, "Never a pool owner or borrower be"

OK - that does it!
DIBS on the movie rights to "The Pocahantas Girl Story". She can star as herself ... [:D]

I've been there with the outdoor kitchen overkill. I regained my senses and downsized to the point that I only have a Webber Kettle that I use for grilling, smoking and BBQing.

It's amazing how much I enjoyment I get from doing more with less.

Leslies sucks!! Cactus Pool Supply is the way to go in the valley!! Leslie's muscled out a Cactus competitor that I was working with. And they just did it to be dicks because this area of the valley cannot support a Leslie's pool store. So they simply jacked their prices up and are significantly more expensive on almost every thing.

And yes, owning a pool is like owning a yacht. They are expensive and require a lot of maintenance for simply looking good most of the time. I wouldnt own a pool unless it came with a house I really liked.

And yes, yes... Being a pool service person is nothing like being the Cabana boy in the movies. Mostly overweight housewives with noisy kids...

Forward deploy an AKE. It'll save you significant fuel for those BBs.

One AKE (that biggest japanise have - don`t remember class but they have capacity 4500 or something like that) if have enough supply loaded should be able to fully rearm 2 BB plus some DDs in single turn. Two AKE can reload even more ships at once. Only Yamato class need big port or lot of support to rearm main guns

Upgrading to AKE is fast. 21 days i think. Having AKE clso to fron line will save You lots of time and fuel.

OK...Rook it up. Japan-mens have one 3500 ton AKE now.

Toho Maru crass, 4700 tons, avairaburh in Feb. '42, War ovah by then.
