On the Pratt we had green water crossing so high they were just shy of taking water down the forward stack. A few years later I rode out what I was later told was one of the systems that made up "the storm of the century" onboard the USS America (CV66). It was amazing that there was a storm sever enough to make a carrier rock. It wasn't nearly as bad as the ride on the destroyer, but it was a fun ride....especially for those guys that had never been aboard a ship small enough to actually rock.... Heck we had our picnic tables on the mess decks sliding all over the place, racks in the berthing comparements that weren't attached falling over dumping the occupants in the floor, etc, etc.
Funny thing, I had a guy on the mess decks ask me if I had been on a small ship before. When I told him I had and asked why, he told me to look at what I was doing with my left hand. I'd never paid attention to it but I was eating with my right hand and using my left to keep the tray level so the contents didn't spill when the ship rocked. Then there was the guy in the rack that wasn't anchored. Told him when I walked past and saw it rocking that he needed to secure it and he got smart and told me I didn't know what I was talking about.....When I heard the crash later I simply walked over and said "I told you dumb a$$" and laughted my a$$ off at him lying there in the floor....

A Farmall 300 on gasoline and a Farmall C, that had once belonged to his father-in-law, and had been converted from gasoline to LP Gas. Many times, as a small boy, I would cross the fence behind the house my grandparents lived in and walk down the turn row to where granddaddy would be cultivati
