Its Friday evening. The wifes gone shopping somewhere. The kids wont be here till tomorrow. I've got my feet in a tub of hot water, a stiff jigger of rum in my coffee, and I'm slipping UV into the drive. See yah.

You got your feet in a tub of water while you're running an electrical appliance? Better have 3 jiggers of rum (light rum).:D

Sounds like you are developing an UV version with kind of a Force Feedback option, LOL! In case a ship of yours sinks, you'll get wet feet. And during thunderstorms you can get electrocuted. BTW, does the water temperature in your tub match the average temperature of the SoPac? And don't forget the salt...
Oh, and since the USN is dry there shouldn't be rum in your coffee, unless HMS Victorious is on the map! :D

I may be from the US with European ancestry but if I want to be in character I should be drinking saki. As far as water temperature, maybe one of the Aussies out there can tell me what would be proper. The salt (epsom salt) is already in. As far as electrical appliances go, its always been my ambition to "light up the night" in my UV game. :rolleyes:

Proper water temp

Roughly room temperature - 24 degrees C would do fine.

Toss a couple of wind up toy sharks in for added realism.

Hmm...........

You have your feet in a tub of hot water and you're drinking an alcholic beverage.

Have you ever seen what happens when a person has passed out drunk at a party and you put their hand in warm water?

Don't doze off or you might get to experience what some soldiers have done in battle.

My Dad was stationed in the Aleutians during WWII and he told me that that prank was pulled all the time. Sounds like they are still doing it.
