Worked on the Torsk with a good crew and with an old friend who hadn't seen her in almost 5 years (former crew member and vol who had to delay being a vol due to working too much). We spent 8 hours on the road (4 hours both ways) and then worked on her for 7.5 today and we brought my son for his second work day and he had a ball for most of the day
Now I am having a sleep over for my son and one of his friends, hell I haven't even changed out of my work clothes yet other then my shirt because of the pigeon poo smell that permeated it pretty badly. Tomorrow is mowing the lawn after making the boys breakfast when I finally roll out of the rack in the morning.
Little secret folks, while I can teach the material to you I am learning at the same time and then trying to incorporate what I am learning/teaching at the same time while on on the boat. It is COMPLETELY different when you get on the boat after going through a section and then noticing everything that is used to make that system work because me personally while I thought that I "saw" everything I didn't "see" everything and now it is a learning experiance on a different level when I am on the boat because now I can associate more things and then look for other stuff that I have never "seen" before.
I am truly grateful for those whom have taken the time to set down with this and try to learn the fleet submarine manual with me because for those IMHO who actually work on the boats you hopfully will have a greater respect for what we work on now more then before as more things are taught and then hopefully apply it to your boat.
Have a GREAT Labor Day weekend all,
Darrin
