 Beautiful collection!
 
 |  Don't you dare, no double dare, ever say that again!!!!!!!!! (about the pay thing)  You may say "Beautiful collection" as much as you like.:D
 
I saved , scrimped and lived On-Board or on Station to save some more.  Never got paid much in the first place and then when I did the hourly calculation, well that is when I decided this was a higher calling and not really a paid profession.  Navy Engineer.  More hours in Engine Rooms, Machinery Spaces, Boiler Rooms, and the like, then could ever be counted.
 
Now, life is good.  I spend all day trying to figure out how to spend my next paycheck.   Still married too!  Don't know how I did that.  She was pretty much alone for nearly 30 years.  Boats |
