Tom, sounds like you are enjoying yourself out there! :) CJ Not really, at least not yet. Got some refresher dive training, and then four dives in the Persian gulf. Gonna do a couple more dives this weekend. I like to have a couple beers on occasion, but three months is a little too much for me. Th...

I'm not sure who gets the most kudos, you for counting them all, or Tom for hammering well over a million of 'em. :mrgreen: I dont deserve any kudos for all those rivets(but a hearing aid down the road would be nice), I have been getting paid for well over twenty years for riveting and being a shee...
