Ya for Missouri it is cold but I have seen it a whole lot colder in Missouri. Seen it in the 10-20 below before but not in many years. But I also tend to think back when ever I think it is cold to doing top side watch on a sub in Scotland in Jan. Now that is cold or worse when we did an arctic run on that same sub now that was more then just cold

| Interesting comment, Old. I made some of the first runs out of Scotland on the 601. Later, we lived in Innelan, about 10 miles down the Clyde River, for a couple of years. Loved it there.

| That night doing that top side watch the midnight to 4AM watch it was raining at the level the sub was at but you could watch the mountain tops and see them getting white with snow. It was one cold night. You say the 601 as in Sub number or ??? I was on the SSBN633

| Sorry. I made a typo. Made patrols from Scotland 1961-1963.
620 was a NEW boat to me. Did you know Poston or Marty Carson?

| My name here comes form where and how I learned what I know. I learned early it is best to keep your ears open and you eyes open and listen to the older people and you can learn a lot that way

| Great thinking. I'm getting to the point in life where there are not many "older" people to listen to.
But I'm still "on the right side of the grass" and living life fully.

| My very first job was for a guy who had a car/truck/tractor repair place. I got payed candy bars and soda pop etc. This guy made my dad look young. I did things like sweep up the shop and clean grease spots off the floor etc. One of the first things I learned was how to safely weld a gas tank.He had a tank with a hose going to it from the exhaust of a car. He told me get out of the shop till I heard him shut off the car or if it exploded to call for help. I was around 11 years old then by the way
