    Glad you made it! There were 8 of us at dinner. It was good to see some folks from last year and meet David Meriman. It's going to be a good event.

    Question about the 'pond'. This will be my first time at Subfest. How deep is it? I know it's a concrete 'pond'. Is the bottom concrete? Just thinking of a boat scraping against the bottom if it should happen.
    The pond is about 14ft deep at the center, if memory serves. 90% of it is concrete lined except the very center.

    I'm flying in tonight and will try to make the restaurant. Likely I'll be in around 6:30pm or so if the car pickup process goes smoothly at Chattanooga.


    See y'all there!

ID:	153717 Left the sonar dome for last to paint. Damn tape leaked a bit. Touched it up. All I need to do is pack. Me and the wife are leaving at 1300 Thursday. We’re going to eat Thursday night and I’ll see everyone bright and early Friday morning. I would come out Thursday night but Dave needs his beauty sleep.

    Hope all you guys have a SAFE trip, and loads of fun! For those of us that could not make it, make sure you take tons of photos and videos!

    Stay SAFE and have fun!!!!!

    It seems to be my nature to break things. No argument on the idiot part.
    For the record, I will not cuddle with you pool side if you get cold, just say’n.

    I'm bringing ten. I'm sure there will be one in the litter you want to play with.

    Tomorrow night I will be packing for the trek to GA. It has been a fun time this past week, I broke my skipjack, fixed it, broke it, fixed it.....now it leaves little tine for doing beauty fixes on the Gato and test time for other subs I intend to bring.......In the words of David, F*** it. I will take the jabs and figure I have plenty of pool time to work on the subs once I am there. Really looking forward to meeting many faces I have only read about or communicated through electronic formats. Anyways, let the journey begin!

    I blame Melville!

    Don't give the Canadian too much credit, Steve. Rick just watched one-too-many Bob Burgers episodes.

    (guess I did too).
