Still a lot less gravel crunching than MOS 11B. But, probably more than what I
did in Unc's Yacht Club. I was either sitting on a stool at my workbench or had
my butt in the air installing/removing electronics from aeroplanes. Once I
became E4 I didn't even have to stand fire watches ... just be the P.O.W.
(petty officer of the watch) which was more chair polishing.  Bv)=

I think we all thicken up some and become more pear-shaped as we get nearer our
use-by dates. I've been dropping about 5# per month since the gall bladder
episode ... mostly because I returned to the eating practices that had lost me
the big chunk a few years ago. When they weighed be for the heart procedure I
was at 270# (from 292#). That's a good thing. I am going to try to get down to
200 lbs before I snuff it.

Well, I have been told, in my more manic moments that a squirrel might like to
hide me for future reference.
