At random: A submarine, the TURTLE, was employed by the American revolutionary army to attack the British. It was built by David Bushnell at Saybrook, Connecticut, just a few miles from the present site of Electric Boat Division of the General Dynamics Corporation, and the U.S. Naval Submarine Base.

Nobody told me when it came time to re-qualify that I had to pass the "crawl through the snow to safety" test, the 500 yard crutch walk, the drive through the supermarket without ruining the beer display obstacle course (potato chips don't count; it's ok if you knock them over) successfully outmaneuvering the little old lady in the wheelchair for the last handicapped parking space being able to navigate to the head, on crutches, in the dark and not swearing too loudly or profanely when you finally make your destination only to learn it's a false alarm. But, shipmates, I've done it and today I applied my new set of dolphins to the boot; right next to the EGA. I'm back to being (SS) / FMF
Now I just have to hope that part of this qual celebration doesn't include getting tossed in the drink; the water temps here are only at 46F

Looks like one of them things the artificial breeder used to hook up to the bull to get his selliable product. I have a similar rig for my wrist and elbow. It is called an electrical stimulator. If you turn it up to high, it is definately stimulating.

Ric, I think you nailed it, Mate. I'm getting to believe more and more every day that Blue is entering the stage of menopause. Getting to be an old pharte and fighting it every step of the way.

Doc,

Did you get my package/envelope yet...the reason I ask is because I got a note from the PO this morning to come and collect a package/envelope because it is damaged.

Hey Doc Gardner, there is something you didn't mention and I'm curious about. Have you entered the one legged ass kickin contest?
Ah, no I'm not a contestant!

I tried but they said in order to qualify I had to let some one legged guy kick my ass first. That didn't sound like such a good deal so I abstained.
Note to Patti;
no I did not receive the package; maybe some other one legged guy got it and got his ass kicked.

I called PO and asked if the delivery person could drop the package off here and they will do it tomorrow. It is your package...I want to see how much damage they did to it and if it salvageable...if so, will get put it in another "more secure" envelope and get it out Sat. So, be on the lookout!

Sorry about that!
