    Enough. I'll take it back home with me, work up a new cylinder and populate it with the gear from the cracked unit. You've ****ed that old dog enough, Bill.

    Just as soon as I get back from the Groton event I'll be working on those as well as other 'small' r/c submarines -- have to get ready for next years Cabin Fever event. I went to my first last year, along with Jake, and had a ball. Here's a video from that three day get-together:

      I was with David and Jake at Cabin Fever. Unless something else comes up Carol and I plan going back to Cabin Fever in 2026 as well. Nice event to go to.

          David,

          Your Alfa boat is very impressive and so exact to scale. Your finish work ,well there are no words to describe the attention detail that you do..

          I finally got my Alfa water tested and put a rattle can finish on it. The only reason I use this type of simple finish is because of the constant and worsening Macular Degeneration that I am dealing with now. I am going to try and use my magnifiers and see if I can do some addition scale type work on what I have. I am going back over and looking at your work and try to improve the more scale look..

            Hey, Rob. Looks great.

            Clearly, Firemen are made of tough stuff.

            Your infirmities and point-specific ailments: you face them head-on, and without flinching. Magnificent. Keep up the good fight, pal. You're showing us how.

            And, when that DAY arrives, let the world recognize your final trip to the grave; identified by defiant earthen claw marks between death-bed and hole-in-the-ground... hopefully, many enjoyable years preceding 'that day'. Keep swinging, pal. Fill that room of yours to the ceiling with good work.

              Thank you for the kind words David!

              You are an inspiration for all of us on this forum, and I for one appreciate all the help and advice you have given me over the years.

                          Jake was driving. No telling what and how many war-crimes he committed once he slipped the pier... and what gives with all the missing pages from the last patrol log???

                          The Commodore was not amused!

                              Just got back from the NC 'fleet-run' being held (all weekend) at North Lake, Rocky Mount, NC. Good time had by all.
