I'd be passing bricks out my sphincter if I had left my card in the ATM! Glad you got 'er all straightened out though....phew! Last year I left $50 in the ATM because I got distracted by this woman's gorgeous looks...I went back and the ATM had eaten my $50 but I got it back the next time they emptied out the ATM.

Hoadie,

I can only hope your next trip through NC is less of a pain.

But gas is cheaper here and so is beer.

And if you shop right Enfield too.

I will do.
The USS Nautilus was the first nuclear submarine. They did the pole transit to prove they could go forever without coming to Periscope depth.
 
My last outing on the USS Connecticut before I retired was to the North Pole.
They call them ICEX's.

A-Square, I used to crew on a racing sailboat in SF Bay. We were starting a race in Vallejo and there was this short, chubby ( compared to the newer boats there) sub out of the water. Saw later in the news the Nautilus was being decommissioned and the reactors pulled at Mare Island . That must have been a he!! of a voyage in a not very big sub. I have nothing but respect for those sailors.

In my pile of stuff I have two A2 deck jackets from Subs. One I know as it is marked on the back with SSN686 from the USS L. Mendel Rivers (SSN-686), a Sturgeon-class 1975 to 2001.

I othere one is from a different Boat but it is older.

Hoadie,

You are one funny person.

You must eat a lot of fish.

I hear tails of up a sub breaks ice (up north) there is a Sailor on duty with a M14 looking out for polar bears. Now I know it is really you in a great white coat out to eat their sub!

Yeah, you can see in the one picture the sailor in the sail with the M16.
 
Also, one year they were up there and stayed on the surface overnight.
They had pictures on board of a polar bear attacking our rudder that was broke through the ice.
