I remember that Torsk work weekend. We had a list of items to do in the engine rooms. Tim said go get this gray paint and brushes. We tossed the list. Painting began. By the end of the day the Fairbanks were the gray they were originally painted. What fun!

Oh, how I wish I was a fly on the wall that day. That picture up there is from the Turkish Tench, but when I saw it, I immediately thought of those blue, blue diesels.
