Returning from the first r/c model boat regatta of the season -- this one at Carmel, Indiana -- Post Mission operations and checks had to be performed on hulls and SubDrivers: Cleaning the hulls, addressing mechanical, electronic, and propulsion problems encountered at the venue, airing out the cylinders, placing the batteries in safe storage, and putting the repaired and maintained SubDrivers to bed.

David, Did you kick the shins of the surface boat owner that tagged your scope?If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

No. However, your comment reminds me of the time I was still dating Ellie and I took the mob -- Ellie, her Mom, and her two kids Chris and Elena -- to a doughnut place and stood in line with the others. Some jerk jumped the line, and before I could do anything, Ellie's nine-year old kid, Elena, promptly dropped my hand and raced over to that guy and planted the toe of her shoe deep into Mr. Ass-holes shin, all the time looking up at him with her patented, 'you want more of this??' look. I had to pull her out of there! Neat.
Ellie trained kids; tough little SOB's from the start and have stayed that way to this day:
Chris became a vice-President at Bank of America, and Elena is a retired electrical engineer-company representative in Silicon Valley.
That doughnut incident, about a half-century ago, was one of the cements that bonded Ellie and me together for life. Throughout my navy days, no matter what government housing we were billeted in, the word spread out among the neighbor kids, 'you don't want to mess with those new kids' -- if the kids could not handle someone, Ellie would: swinging her dreaded big-ass wooden spoon she kept at the ready by the door.
Before I hooked up with the family they lived in section-8 housing -- mostly Welfare 'mothers' with undisciplined little savages pretending to be kids. That environment taught Ellie's kids well: they were already battle-tested when I came into the picture.
