Scary fishing story

Flagold
My great grandfather was a tough old Swede, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1896. He ate lots of that nasty ol' lutefisk and apparently survived it ok, he lived until he wes 95, he might have lived longer if he had not eaten the spoiled cod. He always talked about the old country and how good it was. When my Dad asked him why he immigrated to the U.S.. His reply was that he was told to go to hell, so he moved to Minnesota, apparently there was not enough cod there so he moved to Bremerton.

I rest my case . . .

To all who want to try -- eat hearty, healthy, and often (it kills more cod) and sells a lot more beer (to wash away the taste) I suspect. So it's good for the economy.
 
Yeah, welcome back, Dan. We knew the Dark Side would win out!

Now would you please help them get that pipeline straightened out so I can guzzle some more gas?

Joe.
 
Hey Dan. Wait. I've been out of the loop for a few days. You can't quit now. I just got that borrowed 28 foot Bayliner rowed back into the harbor and really have a lot of questions for you. The prototype bike-rower really was not fun and trying to row while subsisting on seaweed, algae, and krill made it harder.

Flagold has had all the lutefisk he will have. An annual tradition to get back to our Viking roots -- mandatory until I left home (I ran away very early).

No wonder the Vikings were such fierce people -- their keysters were on fire from expelling the lutefisk (or they were constipated from trying not to expell it).

Unfortunately, I get it from both sides. Lutefisk from a Swedish father, Bacala from an Italian mother. Same dried Cod, same lye soaks, only the language was changed. Joining the Navy was an awakening to culinary delights in comparison. Truth be known, I still long for creamed chipped beef on toast. (SOS)

Well, this thread is where it all started so this is where I have to anounce the demise of GanGreen and it's flagship, the Green-C. Less than a week into my new life and the party's over.....

Dan – I was just about to come over to your side. I had just about cleared my mind of all-commonsense and found some followers to join you. Easy to find them. There is a food bank near our warehouse and there are always dozens of them hanging around or sleeping in their vehicles. They seem to think we are short of hypodermic needles and food that does not meet their high standards, so they throw it over the fence into our lot. Now you have gone and changed sides again. What do I do with the followers I found for you?
 
Dan- I'm glad the other half of your brain restarted,other wise you would have enrolled at Evergreen State college and joined the rest of the tie dyed, dope smoking, Volvo driving (1984 or older of course) tofu eating, switch hitters.
You probably don't need the lead on the 1980 Volvo thats broke down on the freeway, oh well parts are hard to get anyway.
Glad your back!

Pat – there is always the exception and knowing you, I believe your daughter or son could be that exception. However, it would take an exceptional student and a strong parent to keep Evergreen College from totally corrupting and ruining a young mind.

Larry and I live here and have to deal with the evergreeners on a daily basis. I have not met a single person that has their head screwed on right after going to Evergreen for more than two years. When the student body and faculty selects a convicted death row killer for their commencement speaker, you know something is not right there. If this was the only thing that we could point to as being broke at Evergreen, it could be overlooked, but unfortunately this is common practice there.
 
RE: the problem is NOT with the Trans Alaska Pipeline system

I would think that with all the hearings and investigations that the (or parts of) main 800 mile line will come under close scrutiny.

Aren't all those pipes the same age? If there is corrosion in the feeder lines, wouldn't there be some in the main line?

I've flown the length of that line many times, and there is a lot of pipe between Dead Horse and Valdez.

This could very well be the tip of a very large iceberg.

Any of you engineers have any info?

Thanks,

Law
