OK... I won't be going to work for Yooper afterall...

... because I'm going to JOIN THE US NAVY!! That's right, I got the call. They said they have the perfect boat for me, and told me to report to Boston to meet up with it. I'm going to be THE SKIPPER! Y'all can still call me asshole if you want, but ya gotta put 'Sir' after it. [emoji106]

Check out my new ride. Not sure what I'm gonna name her yet. Any ideas?

That's funny that it has a GPS transponder. Like they couldn't just track it by the hysterical laughter...

That would be the USS PEEWEE TB 101, the TB stands for tiny boat. I saw the plan for that when I was in the US Navy back in 1969 at Seattle, Wash. :blink: [space] :soda:

Cuban, that would make sense. Someone has to move those to make it safer for the bigger ships to get into and move around the harbor. The blueprints I saw never said what it was going to be used for. It was too small to be a pusher tug or a mover tug used to move big ships so moving security barriers and buoys would be more likely. [emoji106]

That is the newest aircraft carrier and it is to be named the USS Barack H Obama CV1. I think it is supposed to be home ported at SF Bay in honor of Nancy Pelosi. :blink:
