On one of my first pick-ups (from the “E club”, a bar for the enlisted folks), about halfway across the base I realized I was driving on the wrong side of the road. I said out loud, “Oh crap! I’ve been driving on the wrong side of the road”! My drunk passenger said, “Yeah, I wasn’t gonna say anything. I wasn’t sure if it was because I’m drunk, but I wanted to see what would happen”.
What years Bird? I was stationed there from 1975 through 1979 and drove base taxi also. Worked for Mike English who ran the shop back thenl

I think I’m a lil younger than you. I was there 1993-1995. But, for some reason, the name Mike English sounds very familiar.
My best friends dad was there back in the 70’s as well. He showed me pictures of what “The Honch” looked like back then. It had sure changed when I was there. Went back to see it when visiting my wife’s family (I married a Yokohama girl) in 2016 and it had changed a lot from what I had remembered.
Man, those WWII caves all over the base sure were spooky!!!
Well got home from fishing few hours ago, too damn hot to even unload. Right broilin out there.
Didn't catch too many fish but enough, kind of lost my fishin mojo I guess, didn't try too hard.
Did bring home a 9 week old Miniature Schnauzer. Found her day before we left. Cute little bugger, a friend had one and I really liked it, finally took on a pup after losing our dog a few months back. Should be interesting.

For a minute there, I thought you were gonna maybe cook it along side of the fish. Trout with a side of Schnauzer!?!?! Yeah, cute lil guy. Bet he is happy to have a new home!
AT LEAST YOU GOT THE GIRL, ALL i GOT WAS SOME YOKOHAMA TIRES FOR MY JEEP. GOTTA SAY I REALLY LIKE THEM THOUGH
Lol! Yokohama's test track is just a bit on the other side of a bay area by my wife's house. You can hear them drifting and burning out over there. I would say by the sounds that they certainly do test the bounderies of those tires! But, I'd rather have the girl!
