We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost.

I'll see if we can't talk the Mexicans into letting us have one of these (hey, they've got *several* of them...) I think it would make a good Choklit Cannon for the Inner Bailey. Today will be spent with Ward and a Navy diver diving the ship to get a visual of her hull, rudder, and screws. The rest of us will be crawling through tight spaces making sure nothing heavy is loose, or valuable and fragile (like light fixtures) are laying around loose and breakable. Most of my day will be taking apart... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/07/this_being_the_day_it_is.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/07/this_being_the_day_it_is.html Sat, 29 Jul 2006 06:28:55 -0600 Just not fair. When Dennis, Chris, Joe and myself did the ship strip in Beaumont, we never looked that good after getting off the launch that took us to the ships. We got the NASTY job..Oh well, we have fun getting all of the prizes for WB. Did I tell you, WB, that it took us about 2 hours of blood, sweat and where's the rest of the help, to get the Sperry gyro down 4 levels of narrow, steep stairs to the container on the fantail. What fun we had, huh Dennis Mc.. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/07/this_being_the_day_it_is.html#comment-48450 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/07/this_being_the_day_it_is.html#comment-48450 Sat, 29 Jul 2006 08:30:02 -0600 Happy Birthday, handsome love!

He must have spilled his ice tea at lunch. What day will you guys be leaving to bring her HOME? What about the Sperry Gyro from the other ship, can you get that? Sound powered phones, battle lanterns, ships wheel, anything from the bridge, galley, ward room ,any dish ware. Boy what a ship to strip. Have fun.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/07/this_being_the_day_it_is.html#comment-48447 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/07/this_being_the_day_it_is.html#comment-48447 Sat, 29 Jul 2006 07:26:51 -0600
