    Dawn dishwashing liquid, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, or a 3M Greenie pad will take care of the ring! Simple Green, too if you can get 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!
      Safe travels sir.

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

        (guess I did too).

              Thank you Rob! Planning on taking video and photos!
              If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

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

                    I can tell you the files where really great! This shot shows the boat in for testing before any finish work at all! Have a great time at SubFest!

                      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.

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.

                            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!
