Our time for prayer is 3:15 Eastern.
Take a minute or two to pray for our
country, FRens, and President Trump’s
speech tonight.
God is our refuge and strength, an ever
present help in trouble.

EEK! :)
I like the before profile better.
But that’s just me...
Not all that enthusiastic about her anyway.
I assumed it was some nitwit that lied about his intentions. I do not for one second think my niece saw that video. She only vomits back what the left feeds her. Thanks
Americans would keep the Russkies away. Why split the jing with the Brits?
That “blank” seems to be an error in one of my reference books. I use an encyclopedia named Weapons and Warfare of the 20th Century. It says the Scorpion 589, was lost in ‘66, but that’s wrong. The 589 was lost near the Azores in 1968. I should have spotted the mixup ‘cause I was too close to that one. And the reporting was fuzzy ‘cause the Scorpion was a Skipjack class boat.
Then, the Scorpion was a weird case anyway: The first nuke hull was layed down in 57. But Ike and Rickover got antsy about wanting a boomer so they cut the first Scorpion in half, added a missile section, and re-named it the George Washington. Then they started a second Scorpion which is the one lost in ‘68.
Similar bit of confusion with the Thresher SSN 593, which was a class boat. It was lost in 1963 but naturally all the drawings, tech manuals, etc. were labeled “Thresher.” As time went by and the other class boats got finished some bean counter changed the “class” to “Permit SSN 594”. While working on the rest of the class boats one had to be extra careful to make sure you were looking at the right stuff.
As I recall it was the Woods Hole guys who got some pics of the Scorpion wreck. It was “telescoped” with the prop and shaft laying in the mud behind a shortened engine room section. That’s a heckuva over-pressurization. The ends of the pressure hull on that class are Truncated which means the whole thing collapsed like a diesel piston slamming top dead center.
THANKS - good info...
All your photos are beautiful.
Thank you.

Report: Democrats Plan on Disrupting President Trump’s Historic Speech to Congress with Hand Clappers and Eggs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can just imagine what some idiot with self-control issues would do with an egg or two...
The resulting backlash would be epic!

ps: “The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs. The chicken is involved; the pig is committed.”

Never bring an egg to a rock fight.
Ok, that probably won’t happen.
Apparently, eggs aren’t so expensive that they can’t be bought to waste for political stunts.
