Inside this tent is a bricklayer trying to build walls....the steel pipe sticking out of the sand pile has a propane burner blasting through it to stop the sand from freezing.
 
This picture shows us a whole new meaning for "getting on your face" LOL. LOL. LOL.

While visiting a friend, he took a little snooze on the couch. His cat sat on his face, lifted it's hind leg and proceeded to clean up itself.
Now please tell me why does a cat do that???? Is it because it can? LOL. ;):):D

Love it LOL. Cats like warm air so that's why they gravitate to chests for the exhalations. Most mornings for me start pretty close to the rear end of a cat which gives 'morning breath' a whole new meaning. LOL :D
 
I searched the museum in Wikipedia, because I was curious what it looks like. It's fascinating!

There's still one thing that interests me: it seems the boat is standing in a darker area. It almost looks like a bunker(?), without windows. Is it inside the building?

No, it's a specially built underground bunker built just outside the museum building. If you go to the U505 website,they even have a video of the move into the new bunker, from the former outside display location.http://www.msichicago.org/whats-here/exhibits/u-505/

That's really cold. Hard to work on those conditions. Tools must be icy too. Miserable...:(
Interesting images :)

From a visit to Jurustic Park near Marshfield WI.

Getting our yacht ready for the 2500 mile trip. My Captain got to the top of the 45 foot mast to attach a weather wane which will show us the wind direction. You can see his foot on the right. It was looong way down. Even a little bit of wind would heavily rock at that height. Check out his shadow in front of the Avon.

Photo by my Captain.

I've ridden on that roller coaster, but not the Ferris wheel. Great picture.
 
Wowza, you're almost an Alaskan ;):).

Did you make to mainland often? Homer? Soldotna/Kenai? Anchorage?

My second tour was in the late 80's. At that time we had to travel to Coast Guard units all over Alaska to repair and maintain the old Teletype system. I went to Seward, Cordova, Attu, and a scattering of other places once or twice a year. I even had overnight stops at Sitka a couple times. And, of course, I've passed through Anchorage several times. Unfortunately, almost all my pictures, mostly film, have been lost from that time.

I spent a tour on the US Coast Cutter Polar Sea, at the time one of the two largest ice breakers in the U.S.. I visited Nome, briefly, several times a a part of polar science missions on the the Polar Sea, and later the Healy.

On other temporary assignments and travels I've been to Juno, Sitka, Homer, Dutch Harbor, and even spend a night at Tok when I drove up the ALCAN to get to my final tour. And probably a handful of places that aren't popping to mind right now.

Over all I probably spent over a third of my career in or visiting Alaska.

But my first taste of Alaska is when I got a summer job at Bethel. I don't think I'd have gone back on purpose after that one.. :)

What a great, exciting adventure of a job you had. You've seen a lot of Alaska. What made you move away from here?


Here is a picture of my at-that-time-favorite toy, with a nice Kodiak AK background.
