Of course there are no trees in Windsor so you are forgiven for not knowing..
I'll blame it on too much time on the deckplates....not too many trees at sea...my navalese occasionally slips into my vocabulary especially when it's out-pipes and I have the first dog. Might still have some time to borrow some dhoby dust after I finish my duff and get my wrench from the buggery box before watch.



Mike in Windsor.....oh ya did I mention it is still f......g snowing!!!
