I re-traced my route and headed north on a major street closer to
the west side of the peninsula.
In the old days, all the carriers would dock at pier 20 where the
smaller cruise ship is so the public could board and inspect the
ships. Last one to dock there was the Coral Sea as she did her farewell tour.

On the supper hour news saw why things were so busy on the waterfront.
Not only were the rubber neckers looking at the Eisenhower, but the
largest container ship in the world steamed in. These ships carry
over 10,000 TCU's compared to 4000-5000 TCU's for your normal ships.
Only a few ports on the Eastern Seaboard can handle them. Add to
that the 'Anthem of the Seas' (biggest cruise ship to visit here at
around 4000 passengers) which is now a regular visitor and I can
understand all the excitement. As usual, the aircraft carrier's
support ships tie up in the dockyard. The Fleet Band from this group
will play in the Nova Scotia Royal International Tattoo.

That doubled the population of the town I imagine ;-)
Well...maybe the full compliment from the carrier and it's support
group would add up to 6 thousand (a lot of crew were on leave) plus
another 7 or 8 thousand passengers and crew on the cruise ships might
come close to 3 per cent of our population.
You must have taken some math lessons from The John. ;-)
Where's the courage of your convictions, Don White?

Lack of principle, Donnie, or just too cowardly to stick up for your beliefs?

Say what?
I believe Wayne told you to knock it off. What's the matter with you?
Your days of bellowing orders and expecting people to snap to attention are long over.

Are you incapable of thinking and speaking for yourself? Do you have to
run everything by Harry? Grow a pair and be a man.

Harry is only fooling himself, and, of course, Donnie the
gullible. The rest of us don't take him seriously. His value is

Just completed putting new bulb seal on the top of all the slides. Here's what the old one looked
like (two shots).


Looks like they completely disappeared.

The tops of the seals had split for almost the entire length of the seal. I was thinking that if the
slide comes in and closes the two ends of the seal before compressing the middle, that could cause a
blowout of the seal. Otherwise, I suppose it's just weathering and the continuous compressing and
decompressing when the slides close and open.

"jamb"? That's part of a door.

"chocked" That's when tires are blocked from rolling.
