Wow! You've been a busy guy! I know you'll be happy to have that job done. And so will Gizmo...more time to play!
Here's my favorite pic of that handsome boy! 🧡

[radu]

Whew! That’s a lot of work! At least you have shade in your yard and that helps a little. Judging from Gizmo’s panting while at the lake, it must have been a bit toasty.
You had a productive and fun day by the sound of things.

[radu]

All appendages crossed for luck! Neither of us wants anything bad to have happened to that handsome Ghost.

I’d forgotten you’d said it was going to be cool there tonight. I hope it helps you sleep better!
Catch ya tomorrow.

I was on the 667 Bergall. 86 to 88.

[mylife]

I think I did an install On Bergall, She certainly was one of our boats Q4

[Retired Chemist]

I visited the base years ago and was able to tour a nuclear attack sub. My niece’s husband was stationed on the sub and arranged clearance so we could tour the sub.

T-Storms every day at unpredictable moments have made motorcycling a bit “iffy”.

Today looks good so far!

I went from Groton to SD, and then Everywhere LOL
Ca was nice then, by the 90’s it was craptacular so I went to Tx

When I got to Ca there were more honky tonks and cowboys in Ca than Tx LOL, when I left Ca it was a wasteland of condos

BTW the famous stienke hood was just a ploy for congressmen to assure worried Mommies we could get out LOL

[submarine571]

Wow! Great to see all these submariners on here coming to the surface. I was born and raised in Stonington, 12 miles from the base, and stationed on the base for 13 years. Either on the “Hill,” on shore duty or the “lower” base on a boat. Qualified on Skate SSN-578, re-qualified on Nautilus SSN-571 and on the Danial Webster SSBN-626G.The SUB base is the best little base in the world.

...Early Birds!
Did you enjoy the submarines?
Ask mylife what it's really like!
Hope all y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
It's not quite as hot here.
That's sooo welcome!
(((hugs)))

Welcome to the Canteen, CTGOPPER, and thanks to your hubby for his service to our country.

Thanks,

and here is an old one reopening

A secret Cold War-era nuclear submarine base in Norway is to be reopened as America and Russia wrestle for control of the Arctic Ocean.

Olavsvern, which was closed in 2002, is a colossal complex carved into a mountain near the northern city of Tromso. It includes 9,800ft of deep water underground docks that can house and refit nuclear submarines.
