Just another chilly morning and rain on Friday. Will Summer really start on June 21st?

Had to get a new plate for my truck today. I stepped out of my truck at 8:30 when they opened the doors. I was finished and back in my truck at 8:38. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Indiana has the best BMV that I have ever encountered or even heard of.

now.
I have memories as a kid of having to go, because my mom had to go, and children had no choice.
Ugh.
Torture.

 

[actaeon277]

It is still frustrating at times..

Anytime I have a error on a title or bill of sale I tell them the seller conveniently is in the parking lot. Walk out and come right back in.

It's always fun when I have to deal with the Indiana Alcohol Tobacco Commission.
Always fun.

Indeed. That wasn't an option in this case, but all of the other vehicles are handled 100% in the mail or online.

California operates like is 1978 and it is horrendous.

Well, California believes BIGGER government is BETTER.

I'm married. What can the God's do to punish me?

Finished mowing just before the rain started. Whew

Me too.
My Mom called and asked me to cut the grass for one of her friends that lives at the beginning of the subdivision, my Dad was going but the yard is big.
So, Dad and I got done, then got my grass cut. First time for half of the back yard.
I had a LOT of sticks/branches in that half, so I had to fill up my trailer to take to the woods.

Anyway..
Dad and I were both "tinkering" on the driveway when it started to sprinkle.
Then it POURED and we had to stop.
He had a bolt missing from his PTO (blade) that he had used a pin to get it working, and it just wasn't working.
And I have a "grabber" mounted on the hood, that allows me to pick stuff up without getting off the mower, and put in the bucket behind my seat.
I need to move it, it gets in the way.

I'm glad we didn't tinker first, cause we'd have been a block away when the rain came down.

I know, but if I told ya I’d have to kill ya. LOL

If you are permitted to share or care to, what was your occupation in the submarine service?

SSN-611, USS John Marshall (converted from Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine to Attack Submarine before I got there)
I was a ET2 (SS) Nuke

ET- Electronics Tech
2 - Second Class
(SS) - Submarine Qualified
Nuke - I was the Reactor Operator, and the Reactor Technician.

In addition, most people have to have a 2nd job, because subs have small crews compared to surface vessels (targets).
So, I was Engineering Logroom Yeoman, and Reactor Controls Division Sound Silencing Petty Officer.




Our "unofficial" emblem




Me on the left, the Dry Deck Shelters (DDS) in the background




Me in the sub coveralls, with the ship's diver in the hat, and 4 SEALs .
You can't see it, but I'm getting ready to shoot a full auto 9mm pistol. I think the SEAL is ready to push me over if I Eff Up.




And, I think this was one of the best photos I took.
St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, Sunrise.

You guys are taking the ball and running with my post. I was trying to give act a dignified title. It wasn't me act.

For some reason, they seem to think I am verbose.





(see my last post)

 

[actaeon277]

Don't get him started

Too late.

@actaeon277
I know I asked this before, but what was the longest you went without seeing the sun?

52 consecutive days. but we popped up to navigate through a bad area, then went back down.
But I was phone talker on the Bridge, so it counts as seeing the sun.

 

[actaeon277]

That wasn't when he was in the submarine. It was when he worked at the steel mill.

I did get mad, when I realized, my environment was still gray painted metal, surrounded by a bunch of smelly dudes.

 

[actaeon277]

I heard act was the master baiter for the boat's fishing crew

Funny how when it's hot, it's all "global warming", but when it's cold, it's "That's not how global warming works".

 

[actaeon277]

Gee, I don't go on for a day, and look what happens.

People may not know how shy and quiet I am.

 

[actaeon277]

Estimate? You mean they don't take it down until it crushes to see how far it will go?

There's a 'rumor' that various subs have accidentally exceeded test depth and crush depth.
Not a good feeling, not one I recommend.

It's only a 'rumor'.

Gotta keep my average up, and I missed a day.
