That was a Jeff Foxworthy joke... If you think a Volvo is part of a woman’s anatomy....

As a South Carolinian all I can say is, “Yessss, let the hatred flow through you...”

I’d rather get shot out a torpedo tube at test depth myself, but the TM’s told me Big Navy doesn’t allow anything cool like that cause it could foul the outer door.

The most important thing for burials from subs, do not rig to surface ventilate during the ceremony. Otherwise whoever you just dumped gets slurped right back down the bridge hatch... 

What the Russians could do is use Bathymetric navigation. By plotting the track over well surveyed underwater contours they could get a mid course fix. 

D5 Tridents take a star sight at apogee. They also have a unclass CEP of 90m.

Oh there is no danger... Trust me. I’ve been sitting there with a blowtorch, trying like hell to get the kindling wood next to the cold coal to burn... Now pulverize it, and you’ve got a different story. 

Prehistoric Pennsylvania Sunshine! I’m up in northeast ct and have two fires going right now. I’ve a little Surdiac 513 going in the kitchen, and a Chappee boiler doing my central heat. Wish we could get Lehigh up here, Blashak has a near lockdown on the NE market. TSC was bringing in Kimmels for a while, but only in…

And this is how your kid ends up beating the crap out of you in Gatlinburg...

We defy nature every time we close that hatch. Thumbing our noses at the odds, we put to sea in the finest expressions of man’s ingenuity.
I said to a friend during the search:

“I wonder if any other branch or service feels this kind of international connection, where we earnestly pray for the return of men and women…

John Mulaney is who you’re thinking of.

FME’s are your friend. I learned that the hard way too. I’m still getting the pink panther out my heating system strainer from the mouse that built a house in my boiler while I had it waiting for install. (It wasn’t a surprise, It’s why I took the time to install a strainer...)

She’s not pretty, but I like her.

It’s a nice gesture, but the money would be far better spent in renewing the building service and replacing old fixtures. The water in the mains is lead free, its passage through the grandfathered lead services and non-compliant fixtures in the building is the source of contamination. Point of consumption filters are…

Yes the Tizard mission was important, and we do thank you very much for the goodies. You do understand that the transfer took place because Churchill was expecting to Dunkirk his way to Newfoundland any day, and would rather we have it vice Jerry. Granted the way we froze your guys out of the bomb was beyond merely…

The main reason for the short cycle on the Jumo engines wasn’t poor engineering. The Germans simply had to make do with mild steels for components as they did not have sufficient quantities of alloying elements for industrial production of the engine in the more exotic heat resisting steels. The fact that they made a…

There is something to be said for “if its not broke, don’t fix it” In 2004 when I was a nubbily Nuke in the Navy, I learned basic instrumentation on a Mag Amp made in 1957...

I had the same year, model and trim in Blue and Gray, I do miss that wagon. The 3.0 had guts, and was bulletproof, I could keep up with my buddy in his WRX without straining.

It’s a matter of flight hours. The AF bought a shitload of KC-135's and B-52's in the 60's. Then they didnt fly them all that much. So yes they are “Old” by age, but from a fatigue standpoint, some are “newer” than the Airbus you took to Topeka.
Conversely, those ships have been going to sea since they left the…

I’ve only just stopped trying to put my foot thru the floorboard looking for a clutch that isn’t there.
