Sad, but true. It was down for most of July and large parts of August... but that's the price you pay when you want to play

That's OK, there are worse hobbies, that's for sure! If you really want to eat up the dollars, try a boat. Been there done that.

As soon as my wounds heal and I get the rest of that tranny fluid out of my hair and eyes, we can install those apply piston rings and see if that fixes the 2, 3 shift slip problem.

Connecticut and Steven

I have a 688 SSN submarine tour set up you for you guys next week. Let me know what the best date for the tour will be. Plan for an late evening tour. Around 6:30 -7:30 PM.
