This morning’s headline in much of the new media is that today is the 70th anniversary of D Day. I think it meaning is more real as we see the battlefields that were won with so great a price on Guam.  This year, July 21 (Liberation Day) will also be the 70th anniversary of the first attacks of American soldiers to regain control of Guam from Japanese occupation and subversion of the local Chamorros.

Today, I again rode to and from work with Joel, while Virginia took Joanna shopping.

TWR Guam is wanting to separate the Harris SW100 spares from the rest of the items in the stockroom.  I was tasked with doing a fairly comprehensive search of what SW100 parts might fit the HC-100 and found quite a few.  I plan to reveal why this is taking place in my blog for Monday 9 May.

Some of the anchor rods have been rusting off for the curtain antennas.  An old two-ton truck has been used as a temporary anchor while each anchor rod is replaced and cast into its concrete block.  Today I helped transfer a curtain antenna side catenary from its temporary truck anchor to its repoured anchor point.

This evening, to relax Virginia and I played our first game of Rummikub on Guam.
