Good Morning CGs!

We have been enjoying the unseasonably warm weather the past week. Of course, my wife tells me on Halloween it's supposed to be 43* when the kids go out. Phenomenal. Can't keep that 60* streak going a few more days? Oh well.

I have been driving the car the past week and it is running wonderfully. I guess that's a sign that something is going to break...lol.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Good morning gang.

Like Matt we too have been having nice weather lately. Looks like today is another nice one with temps in the low to mid 70's.

Navy Day



Navy Day a day to salute all of the men and women who serve, or have served, in the United States Navy that help to protect our country.

The Navy League of the United States organized the first Navy Day in 1922. October 27 was chosen as the date because it was the birthday of President Theodore Roosevelt and also the anniversary of a 1775 report issued by a special committee of the Continental Congress favoring the purchase of merchant ships as the foundation of an American Navy. President Roosevelt had been an Assistant Secretary of the Navy and supported a strong Navy as well as the idea of Navy Day.

Navy Day received special attention from President Warren Harding. Harding wrote to the Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby:

“Thank you for your note which brings assurance of the notable success which seems certain to attend the celebration of Navy Day on Friday, October 27, in commemoration of past and present services of the Navy. From our earliest national beginnings the Navy has always been, and deserved to be, an object of special pride to the American people. Its record is indeed one to inspire such sentiments, and I am very sure that such a commemoration as is planned will be a timely reminder.”

In 1949, Department of Defense secretary, Louis A. Johnson, directed that the United States Navy’s participation occur on Armed Forces Day in May, although as a civilian organization, the Navy League was not affected by this directive and continued to organize Navy Day celebrations as before.

It was then in the 1970′s that the “birthday” of the Continental Navy was found to be October 13, 1775 and CNO Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt worked with the Navy League to define October 13 as the new date of Navy Day; however, Navy Day in the United States remain largely recognized as October 27.



HAPPY NAVY DAY!

Morning guys...early meeting today, so have to run. It was 87 yesterday. This morning we wake to a north wind howling and much cooler temps throughout the week. Guess we're all in the same boat.......

It's an absolutely gorgeous morning here in South Florida. Mid day can still get you to thinking about the heat but mornings and evenings have been wunderbar. Marcus, about skinny dipping. I got into a pool one time this entire summer. Chances of skinny dipping are slim to none. Now running around the neighborhood naked, that's another story. (please feel free to develop a visual mental image of me doing just that)

Hahaa that's hilarious.....no kidding they are.....

Wind has gone down some, but still breezy and cool. Tomorrow it's going to be cooler yet.

The Royals will be tougher at home (I hope) and will push it to seven games (again, I hope). Bumgarner was a tough cookie, I'm glad that we don't have to see him again.

The guru site is acting really funny the last couple days. About every 5 minutes it makes me login again, even though I have it set to "remember me".
