I used to make milkshakes for the kids of an evening. But the kids are gone. Damn kids, now I don't have an excuse to make milkshakes.

coincidence these post are together? I think not

Hi Red

Serious milkshakes there.

So, Thursday was a downturn. That's where we shut the building down and try to fix as much as we can for 16 hours, all of maintenance is on OT.
For some reason, submarines came up as a topic while eating.
A guy that "knows everything" makes the statement, WE know where ALL submarines are at.
I asked him how.
He said, you know, nowadays the subs are NUCLEAR. I guess he was implying we would follow the radiation.
I look right at him, and say, oh really. Please tell me more. I thought those 6 years as a reactor operator on a sub meant i was watching squirrels on a wheel.
It was funny.

Guess that means you can't track a Kilo or Tango.

Not by radiation from a satellite. Sound. Just like WWII, only fancier.

Thriller Sequence - 4 Singing Faces

Thinking about wiring up these halloween faces, and downloading the "sequences" to make them sing.

 

[Leadeye]

Nothing but admiration for those in the sub service, highly technical, no mistake job, in tough conditions. My uncle Brooks was with Carlson's raiders in WW2, he thought the same way.

Looks good.

I remember. He was talking about the Glomar Explorer, Howard Hughes, and a russian sub. I showed him some research I'm doing for another sub story.

Looks good.

I'm gonna cheat and purchase the sequence. If i do it.
That way i just have to wire up the faces.

I liked the story you did on the Thresher.

Thanks.
I don't have a lot of time, but I've been working "in my head" on the story of the Kursk.

 

[Leadeye]

Should be a good story.

I enjoyed K19 when we saw it.

 

[actaeon277]

I may have to get my artistic sister in law to draw the outline.
This guy used to sell an overlay pattern, but it looks like his site is gone.

Problem for me is, I write what I know. But I haven't been a russian submariner.
But i think i need to tell their story.

 

[Leadeye]

I would imagine that from the engineer's perspective soviet and American subs run much the same. It's a job that relies on attention to detail. I think only the crew in the aft compartments of the Kursk survived the initial explosion if I remember correctly.

Gooooooood Eveving INGO!!!!

Yes. But to tell the story, i need to immerse the reader in the environment.
Not too much that it can't be understood. But, a little russian, a little bit of phrasing, and I hope to put the reader in the sub.
