Nobody is trying to act sore, instead, for the most part, what you are seeing are personal feelings being expressed, rather than repressed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She and a group of the SIG 32 folks all went out to Pima together a few years back. That was a lot of fun, running from under one aircraft's wings to another to get out of the sun. Smart and friendly, she's tops. AND we share a birthday (ok, Ok, hers was a few years after mine... FINE! MANY years!) so how could she NOT be a terrific person?!? Chris Boy that was a HOT day!! I was soaked to the bone from sweating....but had a ton of fun with all of you!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to meet people face to face! And Tim is as tall as he sounds! It definitely was HOT, and Tim, me and a few others had to sit and wait, in a cafe they closed to clean, for a bus to leave and bring us back to Phoenix. I think we FINALLY got one of the drivers to take a group of us back while the others were still out in the boneyard. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mighty drunk out the night before. after supper the previous evening, Martin and I both headed to the wardroom to splice the main brace, and the next morning when I saw Martin, he looked like he single handedly saved Chernobyl from melting through it’s containment. Or, experimenting with a primitive nuclear device on his kitchen table. Me, I looked like I just crawled out of a bottle, which, in fact, I had. Smitty and Martin were rooming together, and Smitty voiced a concern over Martin’s 10 degree list to port the previous night. In plain English, he was truly shitfaced and it was all my fault. We toasted everyone, and I actually vaguely recall us singing Russian folk songs. The Volga Boatman comes to mind….. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I wasn't in the lobby that morning. William knocked on the door, didn't say much and left with a fair amount of dismay in his face. Later he told me that I answered in different language , perhaps German ? 3 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dismayed Martin, it was fear, you were speaking as if it were a zombie scene from the Walking Dead.

But Sedona was great, got to cool off. Yep, I remember William coming down and saying “something’s wrong with Martin” or similar, and mentioning that he had answered in German or some other language. No body knew about the extra curricular activities we had embarked upon the night before, and I immediately said “oh crap I just scrambled his brain with potato whiskey”. Then when he did come down, I saw the shape he was in and said “Oh Merciful God!” Did Martin Hatalovic, the ex Serbian warlord (inside joke) answer in some obscure Serbian dialect known only to him and God? Note to self: keep Martin away from the bottle 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 On a business trip years a go, to Pheonix, we drove out to the museum - what an experience and even in the winter, it was blazingly hot! That same night we went to a "Dude Ranch" for dinner and a show by bus and were told to bring a jacket as it would be cold. The advice came when it was close to a 100F outside that afternoon. That night in the mountains, it was close to freezing and we spent a lot of time in the bus - like we really thought it would be cold! 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggtim Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Bottom line is that we need a repeat of that trip, since it conjures up so many fond memories!

MARU 5137 Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yep remember hearing about Martins weird and wonderful ways.. his forked tongue after the night before... *I was in bed when he came knocking on door to say hey its our evening meal tonight but I was feeling a tad unwell so went to bed* and how his eyes were burned while he was out sunbathing by the pool(as I was) and when I suggested he wear his sunglasses, he said it will be okay The Next morning he had eye/vision trouble and had "burned: his eyes.. Good job that was sorted ASAP It was an amazing time spent with you guys and remember plying Richard Alexander with Beer after beer just to get info out of him about WNW kits(when he worked for them at that time) it was night on impossible!! But it was a great night out altogether for that night out in the restaurant. Then we all staggered back to the Hotel 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
