Just got my entry form in the mail, many thanks to the "Black Hands".
The house will just have to wait, the RubyToo needs my attention now.
My wife and kids might get up to Davistown this year i hope they can share my enthusiasm for this must attend event.

Todd, the boat went great, better than us in fact as we both had stonking doses of this flu thats getting around.
it was slow going up the mooney creek as some of the run is quite shallow, the Stuart Turner fouled up a fair bit.
After lunch we called it quits and began to make our way back on our own to Brooklyn.
I wished i took a bit more notice of the route we took going up the creek as there seemed to be 100 times the amount of oyster leases to navigate through on the way back.
The new bronze exhaust outlet will be machined up this week and i have made new gaskets and all going well the P55MRE should be ready to fire up again next weekend.
If my wife had her way the RubyToo and her spare engine would be for sale up at Davistown but my dad and i just might surprise her and my mom and come home with another engine to play with and enjoy.
Regards Matt and Ron. |
