Steve you are killing me! I miss those cruises especially this time of year in Hampton Roads. Have fun and keep the Ratpack tradition alive until I can get back over there and help!:drivingskid:

I am not at 100 percent yet. I still have an alignment issue with the TVS 1900 pulley, I cut two ribs off the 8-rib belt so I can use it around town. The belt is slipping when over 5K, but most of the time no problem.

I am going to yank the TVS 1900 soon and upgrade to the TVS 2300, I am thinking more forced air must be better.

Are you seeing any Corvettes over there?

Looks like the wife has to work!

Now it's not looking good for me either!

Our 4K watt laser has been down hard for the last 2 weeks. The tech from Chicago finally shows up today with the part, THE WRONG PHUKING PART!!!!

Amp driver was labled wrong from Italy, so now we have to have one over nighted and I need to let the tech into the shop in the morning. If this rolls into Sunday I'm gonna :slap::kick::beat: somebody!

I've seen a couple of C6s and a C5 on the street so far. I've seen more prancin horses and tridents than bowties.

Hope you can make it. Looks like we are meeting the Yorktown cannons at 11, I assume that is near the visitor center side of Colonial Parkway.

Is there an address I can plug into the NAV?

Try "fusiliers redoubt ramp, yorktown, va", if the NAV doesn't have it search Google. I traced Colonial Parkway until I found the the two cannons, if I am wrong on this address hopefully someone will chime in soon.

I can't make it any easier than this............the cannons are right across the street!
