Yep, we be contemporaries; I turned 66 one month ago. I had an instant mental image of the sonar operator character in Clancy's novels. Smart dude. :) I did a fair amount of business with Sub Base in Pearl Harbor, when I owned a Marine Electronics business in Honolulu back in the '80s. I actually arrived there initially as the captain of a commercial tuna fishing boat, so I have a little salt in my veins too. It was also fun to try to decipher your handle. I settled on a stubborn old cuss, who likes to chew on things a mite before swallowing the nonsense of fools. If that's close, we are not only contemporaries, we are simpatico. :) Do stick around. My blogging partner, Troy is about our age and an ex-systems analyst for IBM; but I don't hold that against him. Welcome aboard, Chewy. Yep, we be contemporaries; I turned 66 one month ago.

My heavens, Dave, I don't think I would have told that on myself. At age 66 I can't remember when's the last time I saw that in print! Enjoy your musings. Any questions on Submarine Operations and Sonar system circa Cold War, I'm your man. Chuckles Univac? My heavens, Dave, I don’t think I would have told that on myself.

The plan is to corral a few thinkers for thoughtful discussions in the comments section. You will fit right in. I used to build computers too. In fact, I was an engineer for Univac, back before most folks knew what a computer was... hey, now FireFox's spellchecker doesn't even know how to spell Univac! :) ◄Dave► Great, KC.

I am not much at writing, but I do it anyway. I always say what I think, like it or not. I hate when someone tells me what they think I want to hear. I can lie to myself just fine. My friends know better than to ask me if they don't really want to know. I think that's what most people want. I wonder if I comes across kinda hateful at times, but it must be ok, they have been good friends for 25 plus years. Hope you can make some sense out of this. I can build computers better that I can be on one. Glad I found your site. I will check it out more in a few. This is great someone that thinks. I was wondering if I was losing it.
