Hey Doc Hess,

Is that you in Boston??

 

Not me. I haven't been to Boston since the early 80's, and that was on oil tankers. And my Elise was grey and totaled by a dumb f'ing kid in a Jeep. I gave up on the modern Lotus after that and decided to just fix up my old crap.

 

Oil tankers???!!! Large capacity rifles, sports cars, motorcycles and medicine...
I guess you cannot say you have lived a boring life. Lol

 

Yeah, I was a Radio Electronics Officer in the US Merchant Marine for 7 years, before I started undergraduate school. Back when there was a US Merchant Marine and when they had Radio Officers. We used to bring this total crap oil into Boston for the power plant. Really nasty stuff. If it got below 100F, it would turn to pavement, permanently. Like putting a torch on the street asphalt permanently. And that rust bucket barely had any cargo heaters while we were there trying to discharge about 200K bbls of the crap in the middle of winter.

Nice little bar within walking distance of the dock, though.
