Didn't they have some kind of civil war down there in the 80's?
"The Sri Lankan Civil War (Tamil: ஈழப் போர்; Sinhalese: ශ්රී ලංකාවේ ත්රස්තවාදය) was an armed conflict fought on the island of Sri Lanka. Beginning on 23 July 1983, there was an intermittent insurgency against the government by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (the LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers), which fought to create an independent Tamil state called Tamil Eelam in the north and the east of the island. After a 26-year military campaign, the Sri Lankan military defeated the Tamil Tigers in May 2009, bringing the civil war to an end."

These were some of the brightest fish I saw when diving on Guam. They would hover over a coral head and when you got close the school would dive into the coral head for protection.

That sucks. As an Electrician's Mate, I did have to use it on occasion. But the job in the aft engine room was the only time I was really exposed to it for extended amounts of time. And that was just 3-4 nights.
I did drink my share of JP-5 jet fuel. When we were underway, it always seemed a little of it got in the drinking water. The "bug juice" made it palatable.
As a Machinery Tech, concentrated Bug Juice was great for cleaning calcium off of the primary evaporator tube bundle as well.

We used it to clean any brass work, like the drains in the decks or outside light covers. Worked great.As a Machinery Tech, concentrated Bug Juice was great for cleaning calcium off of the primary evaporator tube bundle as well.

My plane was in the air (it was a full moon, which makes it July 24 of '83) when things got warm over there. First and only time I saw not-peace close up. I spent four weeks indoors (curfews) reading a wall of old Reader's Digests from the 40s and 50s. My hosts were very lucky. They were ethnic Tamils, and the Sinhalese mob came within two blocks of the neighborhood. Tropical arson has a distinctly awful smell.

The roofers didn't finish. They worked until dark, and have about 45 minutes of trim work they will have to do in the morning. The wife wrote them a check for the other half {$14.5K}. She said the Dish Network isn't working. They don't think they did anything to it, but we will see. She can watch from the DRV still, but nothing live.
One guy stuck his foot through the ceiling on the back porch. The wife was telling me the story, so not sure if the purling broke, or he just slipped off it. Anyway they will have to get the tool to fix that the next time they are at the shop in Tampa.

Taking a break from this platform - going to detox from all social media in fact. No reason or prompt other than that it’s not really helping the discourse.
Wish you all well.
