Night Ruthy! See ya tomorrow!
Nite nite Ruthee!!!
Have a good night!
Not all sea stories are fun to hear... this one was about a coastie on my ship that was killed by falling across the 80ft wide bridge when the ship rolled over about 60degrees in the gulf of AK.
Crappy place to have ships. Waves bigger than most of the appalachians. Bad stuff happens there.
You're right, that's a bad story. But, a legitimate sea-story still.
As much as I hate being cold, I just can't imagine being in a place like that on the water.
Okay folks, I am off to see the wizard. Hopefully I'll see you guys again before you move :-)
Have a good night, trini!
Goodnight Trini! Visit more often!
The Wizard? Dang... how'd you get an appointment?
Nite nite Trini....
It's dead now.
No appointment. He came to see her. Scratched marks all over her door and a lot of dwarves showed up too.
I've kilt one of those about every other night at Aunt Cheryl's. She said now that I've gone she thinks it's time to call the exterminator. Funny watchin' her when they appear. Prolly bout the same as watchin' me when I see a snake.
There's stuff up there that even having seen it doesnt' help trying to imagine it. The Gulf of Alaska, at times, has waves that are of biblical proportions. Sometimes they just appear out of nowwhere for no good reason.
I had one crossing of the Gulf of AK in the Resolute... and for the whole crossing it was just like glass. The whole thing. Not a ripple. It was creepy, and everybody on board thought the same thing. It was like walking up the back of a giant sleeping snake.
Hate the nasty things.
Well, so far so good, that one is past us now, heading along 50. Sirens off now.
btw, Gypsy has decided it's more 'comfortable' yeah that's it, more 'comfortable' on the couch now with LSA.
G'nite all.
Well, that sounds like it woulda been kinda cool lookin' if you could get over the creepy. Perfect for skiing.... if it wasn't cold enough to freeze you solid in 10 seconds!
They are nasty things. Surprised you don't have more of them. Austin is kinda famous for them but prolly only if you live closer to the river.
Shortly after I moved to Austin I was living in an old duplex down on Lake Austin Blvd. We had those things in swarms there! Hundreds daily. Was horrible. No amount of exterminating would make 'em go away.
Did I mention I was only at that place a few weeks?
