On the Pratt we had green water crossing so high they were just shy of taking water down the forward stack. A few years later I rode out what I was later told was one of the systems that made up "the storm of the century" onboard the USS America (CV66). It was amazing that there was a storm sever enough to make a carrier rock. It wasn't nearly as bad as the ride on the destroyer, but it was a fun ride....especially for those guys that had never been aboard a ship small enough to actually rock.... Heck we had our picnic tables on the mess decks sliding all over the place, racks in the berthing comparements that weren't attached falling over dumping the occupants in the floor, etc, etc.
Funny thing, I had a guy on the mess decks ask me if I had been on a small ship before. When I told him I had and asked why, he told me to look at what I was doing with my left hand. I'd never paid attention to it but I was eating with my right hand and using my left to keep the tray level so the contents didn't spill when the ship rocked. Then there was the guy in the rack that wasn't anchored. Told him when I walked past and saw it rocking that he needed to secure it and he got smart and told me I didn't know what I was talking about.....When I heard the crash later I simply walked over and said "I told you dumb a$$" and laughted my a$$ off at him lying there in the floor....

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
